Warm up by the wood-burning fire after a hike in the area or have a drink on the terrace. Recreated from traditional farm buildings, the classic Umbrian style is in evidence throughout, from the exposed stonework and chestnut beams to travertine floors.
If your favourite dates aren't available anymore take a look at our orange or turquoise apartment, there might still be availability.

During our travels through Italy we could not find modern, fresh, all comfort included houses to rent. Therefore, we decided to build it ourselves and we are now sharing our place with our guests.
When we moved to Italy in 2008, we bought a group of old farmer's houses, and renovated them into spacious (each about 90 m2, 900 sq.ft.) luxurious gems. As we enjoy a house with a good atmosphere we ensured that the houses are pleasant to be in. We rebuilt with materials that represent Italy as it was and as we found in the houses; everything that could be reused, is reused. Our houses have: Travertine floors, large beams from chestnut wood, exposed stone work, sinks crafted from local quarried stone ('Pietra Serena') etc...
Luxury dream house Tofanello Umbria (the Purple apartment) is one of three that we have ready for guests (the others are known in Airbnb as Tofanello Luxurious Spacious Heaven (the Orange apartment) and Tofanello Luxury close to Tuscany (the Turquoise apartment).
All apartments have: air conditioning in the bedrooms, mosquito nets in all windows, wireless internet everywhere, Netflix, a closed fireplace that also heats the radiators (for our winter guests). We have built the houses in the traditional Umbrian style with exposed stone work, wooden beams
The Purple apartment has 3 levels with a private terrace and entrance. The layout is as follows: on the ground floor you'll find the entrance and the purple living room (30`m 2) with a closed fireplace that also heats the radiators, exposed stonework and large chestnut wooden beams, travertine floors, internet, TV with Netflix and a relaxing couch; the first floor has the bathroom with a large rain shower, double sinks, bidet and toilet and a kitchen with all appliances (dishwasher, 5 fire hob, oven and microwave), finally on the top floor there is a large bedroom with a queen size bed from which you have a lovely view over the green hills, air conditioner, TV with Netflix and a walk-in closet.
The Orange apartment, is a free standing house with a private garden/terrace. The layout of the house is as follows: there are two floors, on the top floor you'll find the living room with closed fireplace, TV with Netflix, internet radio and kitchen and the downstairs has the bathroom, bedroom and dressing room.
When you enter the front door you step into the large (40m2) living room/kitchen with a closed fireplace, exposed stonework and large wooden beams in sight as the building tradition was at the time when the house was originally built. Continuing on you will find a fully furnished stainless steel kitchen with all appliances you would want at home (freezer, refrigerator, 5 fire hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher), obviously all kinds of pans, plates, cutlery you might need is available as well. Following the stone stairs to the floor below, you will find a luxurious bathroom with a large shower, bidet and of course toilet and sink. There is a dressing room and a bedroom with queen size bed and air conditioner on this floor. Wireless internet is enabled throughout the house and a TV with Netflix is available both in the living room and bedroom. All windows have mosquito nets to ensure bugs don't enter and you can get a good night sleep.
The Turquoise apartment has 2 levels with a shaded private terrace and entrance. When you enter the house you enter a large hall with staircase and big chandelier, the living room with 2 comfortable couches and the bedroom with a queen size bed. On the first floor you'll find the bathroom with bath and separate rain fall shower, bidet and toilet and of course the large (30 m2) kitchen with breakfast counter, 5 fire hob, oven and microwave and dinner table.
Our property has 3 similar sized houses that can of course be rented for a group of people. In total we can accommodate 6 persons. When you want to share meals there is ample room to seat everyone around the big table in one of the apartments or of course in the garden.
You will find us in a small hamlet called Prato in the municipality of "Monte Santa Maria Tiberina", 2 km from the border with Tuscany in the North of Umbria, in an area very close to the Marche.
We value easy access. Our house is in a little village and as there is an asphalt road to the village, there is no need to drive for kilometers on a white (gravel) road to reach us. The next town, Città di Castello, is an easy, 15 minute drive. Here you can find everything you need from shops to food to restaurants and museums.
Every apartment is built to be a separate unit, you have complete privacy with a private terrace and private entrance. The house is equipped with everything you may want on a holiday; Netflix, (free) wireless Internet throughout the whole house, a washer/dryer, air-conditioning in the bedrooms and mosquito nets on all windows and doors to give you a good night rest.
For guests that are coming in autumn, winter or early spring we have a nice fireplace in the living room that also heats the radiators throughout the whole house.
A plunge pool (3x7 m) is available for the guests from mid May till mid September. Your private terrace gives you all the privacy you'd want.
There are no hidden costs. All costs are included in the price: end cleaning, electricity, heating (gas and/or firewood) and bed linen (towels for every day should you want that) etc.
A vacation should be relaxing and we can help you make your stay as relaxed as possible. We know the area, speak Italian and can show you the places to go to that you would not normally see and book for you if needed.
Play golf and go horse riding a 5-minute drive away, while cycling, hiking and walking are possible right on the doorstep. In season, pick mushrooms locally in the forrested hils. Restaurants are very affordable, and the local olive oil excellent.
Public transport does not come to our location. You will need a car; you can rent one from any of the agencies at the airports you can use to fly in.
The Perugia airport is the closest by at 50 min, but also Firenze, Bologna, Pisa or Rome are all close by, with the furthest a 2,5 hour drive.
When you want to dine out we offer a taxi service (for a small fee) where we bring you to the restaurant and pick you up again (in the villages surrounding our place). This way you can enjoy the food, wine (maybe a little Grappa) etc. without having to worry about drinking and driving.
In case you don't want to go out at all, we can arrange a gourmet dinner served in your own apartment for you as well. Naturally, breakfast or lunch won't be a problem either.
On the day of your arrival, the first necessities will be waiting for you and if you want, we will get you the groceries you may need up front (just let us know what).
