POGGIO ALLE VIGNE
A large garden, with large maritime pines, maples, olive trees and oleanders surrounds the 17th century farmhouse, within which there are apartments that can accommodate from 2 to 7 people (they are not all the same). Guests at the Poggio can enjoy a swimming pool surrounded by vineyards, a barbecue, spaces for children, as well as the large natural park in which the farmhouse is immersed.
Upon arrival, Gabriella welcomes guests in the small building covered with roses, in the shade of the vine “pergola” and in the morning she organizes the buffet breakfast in what was once the house’s warehouse, which in summer is served in the shade of the pergola, on the terrace overlooking the Tiber Valley with Perugia on the horizon. Many of the apartments have a fireplace.
THE APARTMENTS
Ten apartments take their names from the fruits and flowers of the surrounding countryside, eight in the central body (Ginestra, Corbezzolo, Fico, More, Rosmarino, Ginepro, Olivo e Uva Spina) and two in the old barn (Malva and Rosa di Macchia), all equipped with air conditioning. They are made unique by the tranquility of this corner of the Umbrian countryside in which they are immersed, by the refinement of the furnishings and the quality of the welcome: serene, discreet, essential, never intrusive.
