Picture walls of stone aged by the centuries. Fresh, cozy rooms filled with ancient and exotic furniture. Gardens on manicured lawns and olive trees. The scent of lavender and rosemary filling the air. A swimming pool kissed by sunlight. Numerous paths running through woods, down to the stream in the valley below. Aperitifs sipped on the verandah watching the setting sun. Candle-lit dinners and calm nights under a star filled sky. All around, just beyond the crown of hills stand Umbria’s many cities of art, abundant in their treasures, elegant shops and traditions.
