LA VECCHIA PIEVE 8 - Umbria

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). La Vecchia Pieve lies on a hill in Pieve Caina, a fraction of the Municipality of Marsciano. It is a three-storey stone and brick farmhouse with imposing walls and small windows, typical of late 19th century Umbrian farm structures, designed to conserve heat in winter and to be cool in summer. The recent renovation of the property has respected the original plans and architectural features with round vaults, terracotta floors and exposed chestnut beams.

The contemporary taste of the owners has given the house large, warm and welcoming spaces but with a minimal style that makes them perfectly functional for the enjoyment of a holiday with family and friends, and rendered dynamic by the installation of a resin floor in the convivial kitchen, by parquet and bleached ceiling beams in the spacious bedrooms, and by stoneware in the bathrooms. The first floor is the heart of the house with the large modern kitchen with dining area, functional and fully equipped, and the cozy sitting room with fireplace from where a series of large travertine steps lead to the infinity pool next to the wisteria-covered pergola with dining table and barbecue.

La Vecchia Pieve is perfect for those in search of privacy, relaxation and tranquility but also for hiking, riding and fishing aficionados with the various fully-equipped nature trails that abound in this area. The geographical position allows guests to move easily thanks to the presence of the highway which is just a few minutes away. The famous medieval towns of Perugia, Orvieto, Assisi, Todi, Deruta, Montefalco, Bevagna, Spello, Trevi and Spoleto can be reached in less than 30 minutes with their palaces, noble courts, town walls, churches, monasteries, fortresses and towers, in an intertwining of natural and artistic beauties that evoke an ancient spiritual charm.

Less than 2 hours away by car are Rome and Florence. About 3 km from the house, in the village of Spina, are shops, services and a bus stop.
