It has been carefully restored to be both eco-friendly and sophisticated, with warm accents such as terracotta floors and exposed wood throughout the interior. A large commercial kitchen can be used to partake in Italian cooking classes before sampling the results in a chic dining room with seating for 16.
The farm house has been transformed into a 2-story guest cottage for 4 guests. Outside there is an organic vegetable and herb garden and generous terrace with outdoor seating. There is also a large infinity pool lined with fragrant lavender.
Extra amenities include an 65 square meter fully equipped yoga studio located next to the swimming pool that’s perfect for a yoga retreat. The property owners have extensive experience organizing group events and can assist guests in setting up any number of activities in the area from wine tours and cooking classes to hiking and tennis or even just giving tips for the best places to shop, dine, and explore.

This last week in Caimeli was wonderful. Each of us found what we were looking for. I loved exploring some of the historic sights in the area- Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio- and going on long walks on and around Caimeli. Damian very much enjoyed tennis, swimming and running ( which the views made so unique). The little ones lived in their bathing suits and had no shortage of adventures among the olives and fig trees. With delicious Italian foods Umbertide had to offer. The mix of rustic feeling and modern comfort make this place so special. The memory of the view onto a landscape basically untouched by civilization will be a pleasure while passing through the winter in Germany.

Wow!!! Our time at this beautiful Umbrian home exceeded our expectations in every way. From the sweet taste of the freshly picked figs warmed by the sun to our amazing view of the Milky Way while lying on your pool deck, our vacation in Italy was special in every way. We cannot thank the owners enough for all of their warm hospitality. The guest house is spacious, modern and historically charming. The view from our porch is amazing, creating unforgettable mealtime memories. Our slice of paradise will be forever treasured in our family memories.
