Umbria House Cerqueto

This renovated Umbrian farmhouse is ideal to share with family or friends, especially with children as there is plenty of land for them to run around and then cool off in the swimming pool. (N.B. The pool is fenced for the safety of smaller children.)There’s also plenty of room for adults to relax around the pool or stay cool under one of the verandas shaded by grape vines or blooming lilacs.Just outside the kitchen is a large shaded patio with 2 picnic tables and benches to accommodate 12 guests and a stone BBQ for cooking. The property also has a vegetable garden (cared for by a neighboring farmer) where we found fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce to add to our meals.Next to the kitchen is a TV/game room, where kids amuse themselves in the evening, and everyone stays on cool evenings to enjoy the fireplace. Upstairs, on the other side of the house, there’s another living room, with a couch, TV, table and chairs, which accommodated anyone not wanting to be involved with the kids’ games.Especially convenient is that, the house has three distinct sleeping areas. Above the kitchen and TV/game room are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. On the same floor as the kitchen are 2 more bedrooms and bathroom, and above them another bedroom, bath and where the second and quieter living room is located.Even on a rainy day, there is enough room for everyone to have a little space.

Bellissima casa vacanze

Last summer we spent a wonderful week here in July enjoying the peace and quite this country house offers. The host welcomed us with a basket of fresh fruit, a bottle of Umbrian olive oil and bottle of wine, so we were off on a very good start! The house was so cozy and beautifully decorated in a very unique rustic style.The pool and pool area was amazing, nicely furnished, Location is great ;there are a few restaurant 15 minuets away, in town. There’s also a big grocery store. (We stayed home for most meals!) We took a few day trips, one to Orvieto(highly recommend!) just 30 minuets away, to Città della Pieve (20 minutes away) and the former Franciscan monastery of Scarzuola (also highly recommend, such a surreal place! 30 minutes away).We simply had such a nice, easy and relaxing week! Can’t wait to make it happen again soon! Highly recommend!

Quiet location for wonderful holiday
