Vasciano - lovely old farmhouse, stunning views, Tuscany/Umbria border
Vasciano is an historic farmhouse, located on a hillside in the lovely, tranquil Niccone Valley. It has been beautifully restored to combine traditional features with modern comforts. The accommodation includes a self-contained flat, never let separately. It is surrounded by 5 acres of terraces, sensitively landscaped gardens, olive groves, fruit trees, & a private pool with spectacular panoramic views. There are 3 outdoor eating areas including a shady pergola & a scented loggia. The house is well furnished, with a fully equipped, recently modernised kitchen, a large dining room and a sitting room, once a small chapel. It offers extensive entertainment resources in the form of books, movies, piano, TV, wi-fi, a games room with snooker/pool, table tennis & darts, & a boules court. It is perfectly located for combining visits to the many historic towns in central Italy with peaceful relaxation in unspoilt rural surroundings.
The views from this villa are absolutely stunning!We couldnât believe the beauty of the landscaping and how green and lush everything was, definitely looks like something out of a movie. The inside of the villa was very rustic and charming but you are in the Italian country side high on a mountain which means there are some bugs inside and out. It wasnât a big problem but if you have a fear of spiders ( like one of our members does) then it might not be the place for you. It was a small price to pay for the absolute beauty of this place. The morning fog made it look as if you were above the clouds, we liked to have a coffee and watch the sun melt it away and reveal the view we all loved so much. We had a great stay at viscano and found it was a great base to visit many different places in Italy. Our daughter got engaged on this trip and the memories we made here will last forever.Thank you Piers and Carol.
Fantastic holiday , pool was wonderful , every need catered for .
The house is wonderful and the garden and loggia are fantastic . We also really enjoyed the games room .
The road is quite challenging and not for the faint hearted . The location is wonderful but being rural takes a little time to get to anywhere .
We have spend a great week at Vasciano, The house is beautiful , fully equipped with everything one can need .
View spectacular , flowers and herbs make wonderfull senses . unforgettable evenings watching the stars . during the day a fantastic pool or room game ,
One minus - to short for sure , one week is not enough!
