About This Space
A closer look at the stay
About
Imagine stepping into a place filled with light! Light coming through the many windows, light reflecting on the copper trimming and decorations, light coming from the marble sculptures, light coming from the many paintings. Imagine being wrapped in the quite of the Umbrian countryside. Imagine being surrounded by an harmonious environment created by the hands of an artist that has custom made every piece of furniture, every lampshade, every stained glass window and has decorated and painted every inch of the house and garden. Imagine sleeping in a loft hanging over the living room and feeling cozy and protected! This is a special place where you will feel "special" and in harmony with nature! Your hosts vegan for almost half a century will gladly share their knowledge of alternative healthy living if you wish to.
