Villa La Macchia

Perched atop Monte Santa Croce sits a 6000 hectare family estate, where you'll discover this exceptional villa in Umbria. Restored from the ruins of a medieval church, inside you'll find every modern comfort. Plush furnishings and diaphanous curtains lend lightness and elegance to the heavy wooden beams overhead. Outside you'll marvel at the 360 degree view of the valleys below, perhaps from the infinity pool perched on the edge of it all.
Here your every comfort is the staff's concern - they can help you arrange spa services, wine tours, or provide hotel services (choose the vill'otel option to have breakfast provided!) You might take many meals at Il Caldaro, the on-site restaurant, or cook in the sweet country-style kitchen. You must dine outside on the stone terrace, where the fragrant gardens make every meal more beautiful.
Hiking, fishing, and golfing opportunities surround this holiday villa. The nearest supermarket is found in Umbertide, and not much farther is Perugia, the capital of Umbria. If you're longing for the culture and historic sites, be sure to visit this pretty town by the Tiber River; in the summer, look out for the jazz festival.
