Set in the green folds of Umbria, just a couple of kilometres from the nearest town and its everyday rhythm, this semi-detached stone house sits along a quiet country lane where olive trees lean over the road and the air carries woodsmoke in autumn. The facade is pale render warmed by terracotta tiles, with an arched wooden door, a vaulted garage and shuttered windows looking out over the lane and the wooded hills beyond. Inside, the house unfolds across two levels under the original timber-and-cane ceilings the region is known for — chestnut beams overhead, cotto floors underfoot, walls cool and thick against the summer sun.

The ground floor opens into three generous rooms once used as cellar and storage, now waiting to become a rustic taverna or winter sitting room, with provisions already in place for a fireplace and a second bathroom. Up the tiled staircase, the first floor settles into daily life: a living room flowing into an open-plan kitchen, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom — four bedrooms in all, light pouring through windows that frame the surrounding countryside. The house was fully renovated in the early 2000s and is ready to be lived in from the first night: connected to mains water and electricity, warmed by a pellet stove and the open fireplace. A few steps from the building, a private plot of about 2,100 square metres stretches out — room for a garden, a long summer table under a pergola, a vegetable patch or a small olive grove, all served by its own well. Everyday services sit within four kilometres; the medieval hill-towns of Umbria — Todi, Orvieto, Spoleto, Assisi — are an easy drive through cypress-lined backroads, and Rome and Perugia airports are both within comfortable reach for a weekend arrival. A quiet, honest Umbrian house with the bones already in place and the land to make it yours.
