“Besides the advantages already mentioned, I enjoy here a cozier, more profound and undisturbed retirement than anywhere else, as I am at a greater distance from the business of the town and the interruption of troublesome clients. All is calm and composed; which circumstances contribute no less than its clear air and unclouded sky to that health of body and mind I particularly enjoy in this place, both of which I keep in full swing by study and hunting. And indeed there is no place which agrees better with my family...”    Pliny the Younger

Family Holidays

We designed and equipped the Garden House with a view to those things that, from our own experience, go to make a relaxing and enjoyable family holiday.  We spent years looking for the perfect holiday rental that we’d want to go back to time and again: that’s what we set out to create here.

We have three children ourselves, the youngest of whom was 2 years old when he first came here and the eldest of whom is now 18.  So, we can speak from our own experience of spending time here with kids across a pretty broad age range.

For suggestions for activities, sightseeing, and eating out in the area, see our pages on About Umbria and Art History.

Of the four bedrooms, two can be arranged either with a super-kingsize bed or with two singles, one has a kingsize bed and the fourth (which is on the ground floor) normally has two singles but can if required be set up with three singles or a double and a single:  see here.  Each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom.  A cot is available as are various other items of kiddy paraphernalia.  The pool (11m x 5m) is on a terrace below the Garden House.  Bikes are available.  For full details on how the house is equipped click here and to see the layout, click here.
