Villa Bellissima is a 300-year old farmhouse that was newly restored into a luxury farmhouse in 2008. Set in a picturesque valley halfway between Rome and Florence, with extensive views over the Umbrian countryside, Villa Bellissima offers the best of both worlds — an idyllic rural setting, with modern amenities and a central location.

The property is accessed via an unpaved road of 2.5 miles. Guests are 15 minutes from charming Cetona and San Casciano dei Bagni, where you can pamper yourself at the famous Fonteverde Spa. Visit Montepulciano, Orvieto, Todi, Perugia and Siena. Villa Bellissima is eight miles from Orvieto, and you can travel by train to Rome in less than an hour. There is a quaint small village within hiking distance and facilities for horseback riding and golf are located nearby.

The owner has thought of everything. All of the bedrooms have fireplaces and wall safes; four have king-sized beds and two have two twins that can be make up as kings. Each bedroom has a large en suite bathroom; four have Jacuzzi tubs and walk-in showers; two have large walk-in showers but no tub. Every bathroom has a hair dryer. The swimming pool has a heated Jacuzzi. There is even an ice maker, which is unusual in Italy!

The owner is warm and welcoming. She lives on the adjacent property, enhancing guests' experience with her vast knowledge of the area and her friendly hospitality. She is a professional guide and can organize many special services, including car and driver, babysitters, grocery deliveries, massage, cook or chef services. If you want to have a barbecue, she will be sure the local butcher gives you the best cuts of meat. She offers you free estate wine throughout your stay and will arrange one free night for the cook to come in and make pizzas in the wood-burning oven.
