Poggio della Madonna

Poggio della Madonna has been beautifully restored to an extremely high standard by its British owners combining the best of Italian craftsmanship with every modern comfort.

Set in five acres of gentle Umbrian countryside, this newly restored farmhouse will appeal to those who appreciate accommodation and facilities of a high standard. The light, airy and tastefully decorated house boasts a full height entrance hall and the large sitting room has a double fireplace with adjoining state of the art built-in multi-media area.

The expansive dining room with its handsome chestnut table and chairs, made by local artisans, can comfortably seat up to 16 guests. The fully equipped kitchen with all modern appliances including a freestanding stove, breakfast island and walk-in larder, opens out on one side to a shady vine-covered pergola and outside dining area and on the other to a herb garden. All of the bedrooms are bright and spacious with fitted wardrobes and well designed bathrooms. Off the master bedroom French windows lead onto a terrace with lovely views overlooking rolling Umbrian farmland and opposite the master bedroom is a well-equipped gym.

The house is surrounded by immaculate gentle lawns, the largest of which leads down to a fabulous pool with hydromassage and a shady pergola. Surrounding the garden, there are newly planted olive groves, orchards and a vegetable garden.

Set within easy reach of the pretty lake-side medieval town of Bolsena and the stunning hill top town of Orvieto, this lovely property is well situated for exploring Umbria, southern Tuscany and both Rome and Florence are easily accessible by car or train from Orvieto station.

We can adapt these hampers to take into account allergies, dislikes and dietary requirements, or according to whether there are children in the party.
