Italian Cooking And Wine Holiday

Umbria Region, Umbria, Italy

About the location

This wonderful hotel was once a patrician villa which dates back to 1780 and has now been converted into a stunning luxury hotel. Set in the grounds of an 80 acre estate among olive groves and vineyards the hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the delights of Tuscany and Umbria.



Over centuries the villa has been a residence for nobility and a centre of important agricultural history. Now converted to a wonderful 25 bedroom hotel split across 5 buildings, the villa has retained its original characteristics including beautiful fireplaces and frescoes providing the perfect balance between history and luxury.

Tastefully decorated rooms are spacious and light with well equipped bathrooms and all of the extra touches you’d expect from a hotel of this standard and is why its known as a leading small hotel of the world.

Centered right in the heart of Italy beside Lake Trasimeno and around 25km from the city of Perugia, this incredible luxury hotel is surrounded by rolling hills and is set in an area famed for having the finest wine producers and vineyards in Italy, with wine makers exporting their produce all over the world.

Pursue your interest in wines and explore the Estruscan village of Bevagna and the area of Montefalco, home to the famous Sagrantino wines and one of the world’s most renowned wine museums, the Lungarotti Foundation wine museum where you will be able to enjoy tastings.

You can relax and enjoy one of the hundred different massages, aesthetic treatments, and exclusive relaxation courses offered by the hotel’s Spa.
