Glorious Umbrian Countryside

Stylish 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom holiday home in Umbria, Italy

The views over the Umbrian countryside are glorious from the front this ancient house, created from part of an old church, and yet it is just a few steps from the village centre. The owner who is Austrian and married to an Italian has created a stylish 4 bedroom, 4 bath holiday home, sensitive to the architecture by leaving original brick walls exposed and creating vibrancy and warmth by using red accent colours in several rooms. She travels a lot and likes to collect interesting and colourful textiles and rugs in Morocco and India. Although the interiors are simple there is a lovely atmosphere of light and shade, fresh cotton chair covers and a French-style kitchen. With a superb climate the outdoor spaces are an extension of the house, the covered dining terrace is used year-round, furnished with a large table and comfortable cane chairs.
