This romantic nature house at Agriturismo Borgo Poggiolo is for two people, 31 m² and overlooks the rolling hills of Umbria, is immersed in nature and is perfectly quiet between Orvieto, Todi and Perugia, perfectly halfway between Rome and Florence and near the border with Tuscany.During the renovation, the landlord has preserved the authenticity and rustic charm of the small "castle" from the XVII century. It is located in the little arch (arco) that connects the two parts of the house. An external stone staircase leads to the covered porch in front of the apartment. There is both morning and evening sun. A sitting room with wood stove and a double bed, a well-equipped kitchen and a bathroom with shower. Right by the cottage is a private terrace in the garden. The spacious swimming pool (6 x 17 meters) is shared with any other guests of the agriturismo. There is a table tennis table, boules court and you can do archery. The hosts are Italian-Dutch and are happy to advise you on excursions, delicious local restaurants, stores (San Venanzo 10 kilometers), markets, wine/olive oil tasting or horseback riding at a local riding school.
Nature and surroundings
This nature house is an ideal place to catch your breath or laze in the garden with a good book and bird sounds in the background. A fantastic area for walking or mountain biking to explore the quiet Umbrian countryside with its hilltops, valleys, forests with streams and waterfalls. The area, far from any industrial influence, falls under the nature reserve 'STINA', Monte Peglia e Selva di Meana, and will be a surprising discovery for nature lovers. If you are lucky, on a walk you might come across a wild boar, a porcupine, hares, a deer, squirrels and foxes. Locals forage for mushrooms, asparagus or truffles. During the dark evenings of June, you will see thousands of fireflies everywhere. At night you only hear owls and nightingales and really nothing else. The area of Monte Peglia has recently been declared a World Reserve of the MAB Unesco Biosphere. Near Montegiove is "La Scarzuola," ex Franciscan monastery founded by Saint Francis of Assisi (1218) and purchased in 1956 by the Milanese architect Tomaso Buzzi, founder of the current open-air theater complex.
