the "Villa"

 
 
  
 

The villa's antique tiled terracotta floors are typical of the Umbrian region, and cover around 250 square meters.  Available as a whole or as two independent apartments, the villa is characterized by an imposing tower with solid chestnut beams and a large living room with 17th Century fireplace on the ground floor, and a second living room on the first floor reached by a 19th century staircase, which has 10 arched windows giving an exceptional 360º panoramic view of Perugia, Brufa, Assisi and Spello.  The two spacious kitchens both have functioning 19th century fireplaces which can be used to cook typical Umbrian dishes, as well as supplying warmth in the coldest months.

The villa is furnished with antiques from 1600 to 1800.  Worth noting are the tables, the 19th century side-boards and the original doors from the 17th and 18th centuries painted in tempera, typical of the more distinguished Umbrian houses.  Also deserving to be looked at with attention are the glass lamps dating from 1900, the antique limestone basins in the four bathrooms and a rare ‘double’ bath-tub.  To be noted are the elegant head-boards, one of which is painted with an Umbrian landscape, wardrobes of walnut and chestnut and a dresser in the upper room of the tower which depicts the sacristy.

There is beautiful series of pastel designs than an English tourist (a guest of a family at Bettona) painted during different seasons of the year, and that we have succeeded in procuring in order to decorate our abode.  There is also a beautiful antique glass lamp in the ground floor living room with leaves that descend onto the walnut table.

The two kitchens have traditional antique sinks and copper bowls that are used for making conserves and jams and earthenware containers that are used for flour for bread and pastries.

There is a large portico with chestnut beams and floor of terracotta tiles, encircling most of the house and providing a large external covered space to be used on both rainy and sultry summer days.  Also outside at the back of the house, there is a large courtyard with tiled terracotta floor and a beautiful iron fence, and a drinking fountain from 1700.  On long summer evenings guests can enjoy the smells and sounds of the Umbrian countryside, and there is light from the now rare fireflies which evoke untouched nature.

Outside, a drinking fountain from 1700 in travertino welcomes the guests into the enormous garden which encircles the house with the barbeque behind it next to an antique basin.

  • 4 fully furnished double bedrooms
