About this house rental
Locally known as Monticchio Vecchio,The Main House is the oldest building on the property and was lived in by the Calzoni family. Due to its large scale we allow it to be used by guests and friends for special occasions.
The large living room opens onto its own private terrace and has direct access to the pool. Cool throughout the summer, this is where you come to escape the sun and simply relax or play cards. The room retains a natural grace, with its high ceiling, tall columns and the old mangers running down two of the walls.
Situated at the base of the tower is the kitchen. True to form, it is a place where everyone seems to gather. The island provides a natural divide to allow the ‘cook’ to perform in front of his audience. Outside there is a shaded terrace and BBQ. Off the kitchen is the dining room where the table seats twelve. One whole wall is taken up with our quirky collection of various bits and piece; once described as “high kitsch”!
There is a 20 by 5 meters swimming pool shared with the other three units.
A Memory: We moved into the house in June 2003 and never thought it would be 15 years before we had a toilet or heating in the building!

This is a beautiful place to have a holiday in Umbria. It is off the beaten track but within easy distance of Perugia. You can also travel further afield to Florence, Rome and Assisi. The accommodation is lovely and very individual with some amazing art work throughout. The pool is stunning with gorgeous views over the countryside. What makes this place special though are the hosts Andrew and Hugue who make all visitors feel so welcome. It’s a real gem and go there if you can!!

Casale Monticchio is an oasis in central Umbria. A beautifully and lovingly restored farmhouse, we found it to be perfectly positioned to explore the many hill towns of Umbria (far less touristy and crowded than Tuscany) while also enjoying the quiet of the countryside and the amazing infinity pool. The layout of the apartments was fantastic as we could each have our own 'space' then come together for dinner each night. It is ideal for couples, families and/or gatherings of friends. We have already booked the entire place next year for a friends big birthday!
