Casa Ventinove

After many years of visiting Umbria and falling in love with its unique charm, we were finally drawn to buying a house here. Each visit left us more enchanted by the blend of sophistication and rustic allure. The locals are wonderful—welcoming and deeply passionate about their culture, traditions, food, and wine. The village itself has a distinctive character, and the views are consistently breathtaking. Umbria, often referred to as the "Green Heart of Italy," is renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and culinary delights. This region is a paradise for food and wine enthusiasts. With its rolling hills dotted with vineyards and olive groves, Umbria produces some of Italy's finest wines, including the world-renowned Sagrantino di Montefalco and Orvieto Classico. The local cuisine is equally impressive, featuring hearty dishes like truffle pasta, wild boar, and porchetta, all enhanced by the region's exceptional olive oil. Traveling through Umbria offers a diverse range of activities. History buffs will appreciate exploring ancient Etruscan sites, medieval towns, and Renaissance art in cities like Perugia and Assisi. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking and cycling through the verdant Umbrian countryside, with its rolling hills, lush forests, and tranquil lakes. For a truly unique experience, try truffle hunting with a local expert, or enjoy a wine tasting tour at one of the many picturesque vineyards. We visit as often as we can, enjoying the unique rewards of each season. Every trip, we check off a must-do place or experience, but our list keeps growing as we discover new restaurants, wineries, and hidden gems. We've made wonderful friends here, both permanent residents and fellow travelers, all sharing a love for everything Umbrian. We hope you'll fall in love with this place as we have. We've provided a selection of places and experiences we've enjoyed, as well as those still on our to-do list. We'd love to hear your feedback and any new discoveries you make during your stay. Casa Ventinove is a much-treasured family home, and we hope that its comfort and ambiance reflect that. We want you to feel at home, settle into the slow rhythm of life in Silvignano, and embrace the change of pace during your stay. Enjoy the local wines, savor the exquisite cuisine, and immerse yourself in the activities and culture that make Umbria so special.
