This imposing 17th-century farmhouse, nestled in beautiful countryside, is a wonderful place to stay to get to know the real Umbria. The home is enveloped by a staggering 22 hectares of private grounds and vineyards which guests have access to for walking, hiking and cycling. When you wish to dine out or visit some of the area’s incredible historic sights, you will be spoilt for choice as there are a number of towns and cities within easy reach.

Though the home is over 400 years old, it has recently undergone extensive renovations in order to protect and preserve the property, while bringing it up to date with all of the modern facilities you could need. New kitchen areas, an accessible suite and a feature staircase have been added and you will find air conditioning, Wi-Fi and smart TVs throughout.

Spread over three floors, you will find numerous sitting and living rooms so that everyone can gather together to chat in the evenings, or maybe the older kids would like to claim one as their own chill-out area away from the parents. There is a living room with a TV and fireplace, as well as a large sitting room with a grand piano, perfect for a sing song. The home also has two kitchen spaces; one of which is in the ground floor suite, while the other is reached by the ground floor bedrooms and offers a sitting area and a breakfast table. You can dine indoors in the formal dining room, or opt to eat on the terrace outdoors. If you are a wine lover, you will be thrilled to learn that the house is part of a large estate where wine and olive oil are produced. You can sample the wines in the beautiful wine-cellar within the home.

When it is time to turn in for the evening, you have a choice of six bedrooms. All of the bedrooms have their own unique colour palettes, comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms, so you are sure of a restful night.

Stepping outside, The Oak Tree Farmhouse sits in an incredible garden with flower beds, lawns and established trees. There is a swimming pool which looks out over the rolling hills and the surrounding private grounds. If you like to cook and eat al-fresco, you can opt to use the barbecue or make pizzas on the wood-burning oven. The private parkland which wraps around the house is a fantastic addition to the home as guests can simply stroll out in to the lush countryside and walk or cycle through the pretty lanes. Guests are also able to book experiences such as truffle hunting walks, cookery classes and private dinners while staying here, so you can spend many days just relaxing at the home without having to leave.

On the days where you wish to explore more of Umbria, you can visit the lovely village of Marsciano which is just about 5km away, while the bustling centres of Perugia and Todi are each under 27km away and offer plenty of shops, restaurants and historic attractions. If you prefer to spend your time outdoors, why not visit Lake Trasimeno which is around 45km away? The lake is a great place for hiking, water sports, swimming and of course lounging in the sun. You can also take scenic boat trips across the lake and dine at enchanting villages which are dotted around the lake shore.
