Açıklama İngilizceSitting below an ancient hilltop castle, surrounded by chestnut woods and green hills you will find Casa Raffaello. This stunning Umbrian home is an idyllic base for your Italian escape with family or friends.

The villa is a traditional style stone house, filled with quality antique furnishings, local materials such as the terracotta tiles and plenty of character. When you step inside you will enter an open-plan room which is the heart of the home, encompassing the kitchen, dining and living areas. Here a fully-fitted kitchen opens out on to a spacious living and dining room with comfy sofas, a feature fireplace and large dining tables, ideal for special evening meals. Aside from this main room you will find a family bathroom and a bedroom with bunk beds on this floor.

Looking out on the double-height living space there is a mezzanine level accessed by an iron staircase. Up on this level there is a seating area which would be a cosy spot to enjoy a good book. There is also a bathroom upstairs and three lovely double bedrooms with views over the garden and surrounding countryside.
