The Hamlet

In Umbria, near the border of Tuscany, perched on a hilltop in the Niccone Valley lies this enchanting estate. This holiday villa benefits from incredible 360° views of the valley and is set on 6.5 hectares of private mature grounds complete with forests, fruit trees, and olive groves.

The property dates back to the 16th century however it has been recently updated and offers modern amenities. This wonderful retreat offers a peaceful and relaxing setting, ideal for weddings or large groups. This luxury villa is made up of five different buildings: 2 detached stone houses and 3 guest cottages. Each building offers a traditional living plan complete with a kitchen, living, and dining. The stone house situated to the left of the main courtyard includes 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

The stone house to the right of the main courtyard offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Genisteae cottage offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Lemon Grove cottage offers 1 bedroom with en suite bathroom. Lastly, Il Piccolo cottage includes 3 en suite bedrooms.

The two stone houses face one another with the main courtyard in between them and the three guest cottages are set in the gardens surrounding the stone houses. The layout for the accommodation is ideal for larger groups, ensuring comfort and privacy for up to 26 guests. In addition to the five buildings for accommodation, there is a chapel in the gardens with a wonderful dining and lounge area for guests to enjoy together.

The estate’s interiors are meant to bring you back in time. The decor remains true to the property’s history with traditional furniture, beautiful rustic kitchens, and vintage tapestries and rugs. The estate is surrounded by magnificent landscaped gardens that inspire a sense of wonderment. The villa is a wonderful place for families and entertaining. The large pool is surrounded by the gardens and is set beside the private tennis court, perfect for an afternoon of fun and relaxation.

Whether you would like to enjoy a cooking class at the property, experience a large Italian family style dinner in the courtyard under the stars, or throw a lavish wedding ceremony, this villa is suited for all occasions.

Behind one of the stone houses, just beside the chapel, it is important to note that there is a small private house owned by a single American man who comes once or twice a year either alone or with a few friends. This man is very discreet and is used to the property being rented out by guests. There has never been an issue with past guests due to this circumstance.
