AGRITURISMO RENTAL COTTAGE AND VILLAS WITH POOL ON WORKING FARM ESTATE NEAR PERUGIA, UMBRIA ITALY

These delightful agriturismo holiday rental properties are set in the grounds of a working farm estate. With a fenced garden and swimming pool, each rental has its own private terrace and elegant interiors, furnished with antiques. Enjoy honey and organic estate produce. Enjoy the peaceful countryside and wildlife, or explore further afield from this central location.

The rentals villas are on the farm estate of Fattoria Spinola, which was a Convent in the late Middle-Ages. Converted into a farm and then acquired by the Spinola family in 1850, it remains in the Spinola family to this day. The Agriturismo (farmhouse holidays) are provided in a country house that has been converted into two rental properties, and a separate cottage.

The estate is a haven for wildlife (dogs are not permitted - see exception in the booking information below), with species including quails, foxes, owls and porcupines. The woods are home to ancient oaks, and run down to the banks of the river Tiber.

The fully fenced garden is set in a rural landscape of fields, and is planted with many flowers and trees. The swimming pool (5 x 10 meters) is available for use by all guests. Each villa and the cottage has its own private wooden gazebo with outdoor dining facilities. A welcome food basket awaits new guests in the kitchen.

Local honey is produced on the Spinola estate, and guests can also enjoy the plentiful organic vegetables that are grown too.

100 hectares of the estate are farmed that includes 12 hectares of vineyards. The Grechetto white wine and Sangiovese red wine can be bought from the farmhouse.
