(based on six people sharing)

From the jutting peaks and harsh gorges of the Apennines, to undulating hills, leafy woods and fertile plains dotted with oasis of crystal-clear spring water, the lush landscape of Umbria nestles between Tuscany, Marche & Lazio. The region has one of the best climates in Italy, with an early spring and late autumn, and a winter that is characterised by cold, crisp mornings with a bright blue sky and glowing sun.

This green heart of Italy holds attractions for all types of visitor, from horse-riding to wine-tasting, cookery courses to art galleries, Umbria tempts visitors with a host of distractions – other options being watersports, bird watching, lake cruises and woodland walks. However, those wishing to simply relax will find Umbria a tranquil setting for their holiday.

This bungalow is situated in the heart of the region close to the town of Orvieto and Lake Bolseno and is perfectly placed for visits to Rome, Florence, Gubbio and Lake Trasimeno. Adjacent to the owner's 14th Century farmhouse, the bungalow stands in its own garden, which stretches to one acre and is perfect for relaxing, playing with the children or dining al fresco. The property is well equipped and can accommodate up to seven people, with parking for a number of vehicles and easy access to the motorway network. Adjacent to the main property is a chalet, which can comfortably accommodate four people. It has its own facilities and makes an excellent holiday home for families.

The owner is English and can help with any translation requirements (such as what to expect on the restaurant menus).

The historic town of Orvieto is a short drive from the bungalow and has all of the amenities one would expect from a bustling Italian community, including many restaurants and cafes, art galleries, theatres, museums, shops and supermarkets.
