7 kms from central Spoleto

Bought by a wealthy Roman, the tiny village now consists of 5 luxury suites, restored to the highest standard and equipped with everything you can imagine that befits a mediaeval setting.

Each suite 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 borgo, 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, Spoleto Splash has been a secret place for world famous celebrities, seeking solace and discretion. Now, however, Spoleto Splash 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 CISTERNA…..ideal for 2 – 3 persons.

A two floor cottage with a private terrace + garden. Plus aircon.

Located near the church, its name comes from the ancient cistern of rainwater on which it was built.

On the first floor there is a living/dining room with fireplace and a separate kitchen.

On the ground floor there is a twin bedroom with a bathroom.

Approaching this cottage from the village street, you enter a short, pretty alley that leads directly to the side of the cottage, where there is a patio area. Rounding the corner of the cottage, you alight on the main patio, directly in front of the main entrance to the cottage.

You enter the cottage into an open plan sitting/dining room with a fully fitted kitchen.

At the top of a short set of steps, from the sitting/dining room, is another entrance/exit. This door opens immediately onto a large garden, along one side of which is a disused church. The other 2 sides of the garden flank the village lanes. On this floor is also the double bedroom + bathroom.

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 arrive here.

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.

ACTIVITIES…..

In the immediate vicinity to the village, there are many artistic and cultural events eg the Spoleto Festival and Umbria Jazz in July. Indeed, there are cultural events all round the year.

You can ride horses through the mountains, play Golf or go wine and/or olive oil tasting.

Guides and/or drivers are available, by request. Quotes given in advance.
