Bought by a wealthy Roman, the tiny village now consists of 5 luxury cottages, restored to the highest standard and equipped with everything you can imagine that befits a mediaeval setting.
Each cottage is at a discreet distance from the other and has its own private garden and/or terrace. This arrangement ensures maximum privacy for all the guests. And, none is more than a 1 minute walk to the large pool.
There is also a Veranda, in the midst of the village, consisting of a large sitting/dining room with a double sofa-bed, a fully fitted kitchen with dish-washer and a shower room. There is a vine-covered pergola, a pizza oven and a BBQ. The Veranda can be used as an extension for your friends who may wish to visit you and stay for a night or so. And/or, it is used by the guests to meet each other on neutral territory and to eat together without messing up their own cottage !!
To date, this village has been a secret place for world famous celebrities, seeking solace and discretion. Now, however, it has been launched onto the holiday rental market so that you too can experience living like a celebrity – but, not at celebrity rates. Go on, pamper yourselves!
SUMMARY OF CASA VICOLO…..ideal for 4 – 5 persons.
Located in the heart of the village, but still only 1 minutes walk from the pool and the gardens – very private – in the small square in front of the Church.
On the ground floor there is a kitchen with fireplace and a big living/dining room with fireplace.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms (one double room + 1 bed-sitting room) with two bathrooms.
A very pretty terrace looks onto a beautiful panorama of mountains and wood.
HISTORY…
The village was built around the year 1000 AD along the Flaminia route, which departs from Rome towards the North of Italy. It was populated by countrymen and the site was a refreshment place for the troops and the messengers of the Pope along the route towards the North of Italy and Rome.
In the centre is a church built in honour of San Michele Arcangelo in 1500 AD.
It is probably the 2nd oldest inhabited village in Umbria, after San Mamiliano. Both these villages are off the Flaminia, the main road that leads directly to the heart of the mediaeval city of Spoleto, a tiny city that pre-dates Rome.
LOCATION…..
Leaving Spoleto and turning right onto the Flaminia, you follow the beautiful, sweeping curves of the Flaminia, mountains and valleys, dipping below the road, as you wind your way upwards towards the village. After 6.5 kms, you leave the Flaminia and wend your way upwards for a further 5 minutes until you come to a stop and here you are.
The village is at 750 meters above sea level, and, it is surrounded by mountains and woods. It is 120 km from Rome, 200 km from Florence, 50 km from Perugia and 7 km from Spoleto, a medieval town with many works of art, cultural activities and a vast selection of restaurants.
This is the ideal location to visit the center of Italy (Umbria, Toscana, Marche and Lazio) and to enjoy a truly natural and exquisitely beautiful environment.
From Spoleto : shuttle service on request.
