Cerro Cottage is a holiday home, owned by friends of ours. They are away for much of the year, and, therefore, this beautiful home is available on the holiday rental market when they are not there.
Part of a fortification for the Duke of Spoleto in the 1600s, it is 9 kms from central Spoleto.
EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOUR USE – PRIVATE POOL…..
Please note that one side of the pool, where you see the rail, there is a steep drop. This means that children must be supervised at all times.
6 X 3 metres large
1.2 metres deep
With wide sunbathing/lounging space around 2 sides of the pool
LOCATION….
From central Spoleto, it takes about 15 minutes to reach this extremely pretty, detached cottage. About 4 miles along a quiet country road, sensationally beautiful countryside tumbling below, as you gently meander skywards, you reach a plateau on the hill-side. Turn left and follow an easily driveable country lane (that’s slightly bumpy for the last minute or two) for aprox a further 1 km, along a mountain ridge that joins the tiny hamlet to the “mainland” and skirts a deep valley of vineyards, poppy fields and olive groves between the 2 points.
In a fairy tale hamlet, consisting of just a few other abodes, Cerro Cottage stands alone, all its windows and its large terrace looking out onto yellow seas of sunflowers, illuminating the hill sides with their candescent shimmer, and blood red oceans of poppies that daub the land in vibrancy and drama.
On the other side of the vast chasm, the road from whence you came continues to wend its way to the top of purple tipped mountains that soar above the valleys, stretching towards the blinding, deep blue heavens, while casting sun drenched reflections amidst the rippling grasses and searing the landscape with heat and beauty.
Enveloped by sun, colour and mesmeric views, embedded in a golden tapestry, as far as the eye can see, this is all “yours” for the duration of your stay.
Assisi, Gubbio, Todi, Orvieto, Trevi, Montefalco, Bevagna, Spello, Perugia are all just a hop, skip and a jump away. Rome is about 1 hr 15 mins by car or 1hr 20 mins by train from Spoleto train station.
INTERIOR OF CERRO COTTAGE….
Stepping from the blinding splendour of this quintessentially Umbrian world, into this magnificent stone cottage, you enter a state of tranquillity and elegance. A magnificent sitting room and dining area beckons your senses to take a break and to be calm in the cool interior.
The furnishings are up-market, comfortable and practical, all designed to enable easy living!
Up 5 shallow steps is the fully fitted kitchen with work surfaces, a dish washer and all the usual gizmos.
On the ground floor, directly off the sitting room is a double bedroom with a large double bed.
Directly off the kitchen is a dining area and a shower room.
From the kitchen, up a sturdy spiral staircase, is a corridor, which opens onto 3 more double bedrooms (each with a large double bed), one of which contains an extra single bed.
One of the double bedrooms on the upper floor is down 5 steps.
Most of the windows have spell-blinding views.
The cottage is fully equipped as a home rather than as a holiday rental. So, staying in this house, you will want for nothing. Indeed, this is the closest to Paradise that anyone could want for.
A BEAUTIFUL FRUIT GARDEN !
