Description

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. An old 18th century house, a refuge far from the busy city, immersed in a 60-hectare farm estate consisting of arable land, orchards, olive groves and pristine woodland that offer close contact with nature – this is Val di Marco, a typical Umbrian farmhouse that fully reflects the spirit of rural homes. Although over the years it has undergone many renovations, the house has retained its original design and the exposed stones in the exterior walls are still the same, as are the terracotta and the oak and chestnut wood used for the ceiling beams, all local materials made by skilled craftsmen. You can satisfy your need for tranquillity in the large park with gazebo, pergola, parking area with covered and open-air parking spaces and the panoramic pool which dominates large part of the middle Chiascio Valley and you can also seize the opportunity of visiting various prestigious localities of great charm. Gubbio and Assisi, famous for their magnificent churches and basilicas built in honour of St. Francis, who lived and travelled in these places, leaving numerous traces behind, and Perugia, Foligno, Lake Trasimeno and Todi are all within easy reach, thanks to the good road network. Please Note: when property is rented in this solution no other guest will be present on site.
