This classic farmhouse is strategically located near Orvieto, famous for its
magnificent cathedral. From here, all of Umbria and Southern Tuscany is within
easy daytrip distance, including attractions like Viterbo, Todi, Perugia, Spoleto,
and Assisi. On days when you do not wish to drive, you can take a train from Orvieto
to Rome or Florence. The overall feeling of the Colonnette house is a
mixture of country elegance and modern furnishings, with a bent towards the hi-tech.
The main living space is on the upper level, including a large, open-plan living
room, a dining room with seating for 8-10, and a well-equipped kitchen. There
are three matriomonial bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath; two of the bathrooms
have a shower and one has a tub with hand-held shower. On the lower level
are two large bedrooms. Both are spacious and comfortable, but perhaps a bit less
"restored" than the upstairs bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has a matrimonial
bed (not divisible) and the other has twin beds than can be made up as a double
upon request. These two bedrooms share a bath (with shower only). Because the
quality of these bedrooms is not as high as the others, we don't recommend Colonnette
for five couples or ten adults. It is, however, a wonderful house for four couples,
or for one or two families with children. The outdoor spaces at Colonnette
are particularly appealing. Flowers abound, and the swimming pool is set in a
spectacular position, with a covered patio providing a wonderful spot for outdoor
dining. The owners have thoughtfully supplied the house with telephone,
fax machine, internet connection, stereo/CD player, washing machine, dishwasher,
satellite TV, ceiling fans, and window screens.
