This property is situated in the country around
the medieval town of Orvieto, in the centre of a large estate of olive
grove fields and chestnut woods. It has a breathtaking position on a 350 m
high hill with a spectacular view over the surrounding landscape and the
tufa rocks of Orvieto It is easily reachable within few minutes from
the highway Rome-Florence A1 and the railway station of Orvieto.
The estate belongs to the ancient noble family Fiumi di Sterpeto
originating from Assisi, who moved to Orvieto in the past centuries.
It was built in 1800 and has the typical structure
of the important villas of that century, with wonderful ancient frescoes
and decorations on ceilings and walls of the rooms. It has been recently
restored with all comforts of very high standard, but leaving untouched
the very special original structure: inside its walls you can breathe in
and feel the scent and atmosphere of the 19th century. The furniture are
very important of ancient Umbrian production originating from the owner’s
ancestors. The Villa is 500 sq.m. wide, divided in two floors with a large
and easy staircase. The material are all ancient and hand-made: “cotto” of
local furnaces in all rooms, Carrara marble in entrance and stairs,
hand-painted tiles from Vietri (Naples) with wonderful decorations of
flowers or 1800 typical geometric designs in the bathrooms. A wide and luxurios fenced garden with century-old trees and ancient roses surrounds
the Villa, giving the guests the possibility of enjoying an exclusive and
relaxed stay: it is equipped with tables, chairs, armchairs.
Close to the Villa an elegant swimming-pool is at
guests' disposal with a shady equipped veranda and surrounded by a garden
on English ancient roses and a field of olive trees, by which the Fiumi
produce an excellent organic extravirgin olive oil. The pool has a
phantastic view towards the tufa rocks of the town of Orvieto.
