Borgo San Biagio, nr Umbertide

The extensive private grounds surrounding the Borgo provide privacy, as well as making it ideal for walkers and nature lovers, wishing to explore the surrounding woodland.

Renato has been careful to give each property its own garden area with shade of umbrellas for peaceful reading, or outside dining, and views from all areas, and particularly those from the Renato’s Tower hot tub area are spectacular. Special note must be made of the large heated pool, wonderfully enticing even on the coolest morning.

The converted chapel with satellite TV and English videos is a peaceful retreat for a read or card game and/or excellent den for children. A totally informal, and very laid back cosy “borgo dining room” sitting area/pool bar, complete with kitchen and cool drinks, creates an almost ‘club’ type atmosphere for a private group.

Whilst guests will be reluctant to leave this idyllic spot, the temptations in cooler weather of visiting the plethora of Italy's most famous artistic treasures, all within easy reach,is irresistible. Whether making forays into Tuscany, or exploring Umbria, boredom is never an option.

Borgo San Biagio is ideal for couples wanting a peaceful break, and in high season, for those who want quality time with young children, who will adore this magical place. Taken as a whole by a private group, the Borgo is an amazingly original venue, ensuring each group’s privacy whilst providing two separate covered or al fresco areas in which to meet,wine and dine.

Renato, the owner who lives a few kilometres away, remains unobtrusive, but is always on hand to ensure his guests are happy and contented. Nothing is too much for him. He will arrange a wedding breakfast for honeymooners, a barbecue and pizza evenings for a private group, horse riding in the surrounding hills, a trip to the local spa, or even a truffle hunting expedition in the surrounding area in winter! His pride in the hamlet, local knowledge, and enthusiasm is reflected in the complimentary comments in the Visitors book. "A most serene place to stay: wonderfully traditional and homely". Visitors have shown nothing but enthusiasm for this very special place.
