CAMPODALTO 8 - Umbria

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE Campodalto is located in the heart of Umbria, just outside Paciano, a small medieval town numbered among the most beautiful in Italy (I Borghi più Belli d'Italia). Its proximity to the town centre is due to the fact that it was once one of the 16th century watchtowers, just outside the town walls. This privileged location is still advantageous today as you have a 180° view over expanses of vineyards and olive groves in the Val di Chiana from the private park and pool, whilst immersed in the Jacuzzi tub while the sky takes on the warm colours of sunset.

In this idyllic setting stands the farmhouse, the result of skilful restoration carried out over the years, following very specific criteria with the intention of creating a proper rural house and, at the same time, leaving space for the owners' creativity and for modern conveniences. They kept the original plan of the old farmhouse, in which the ground floor was used for housing animals, and used traditional and salvaged materials of top quality, such as the chestnut wood floors, the wooden ceiling beams and terracotta; in some of the rooms the plaster reveals the stones that make up the thick walls, testimony to the passing of the centuries.

The rooms are filled with different styles of furniture, some in 19th century antique walnut burl and some in contemporary style with a touch of art déco, all blending together in perfect balance. Not less attractive is the strategic geographical position of Campodalto with the immeasurable wealth of Umbria and Tuscany, artistic and cultural like Siena, Arezzo and Perugia, and scenic like the Val d'Orcia and the Val di Chiana, all within reasonable distance.
