Set in the heart of Umbria’s countryside, Villa Altea is a beautifully refurbished stone-built villa including a medieval watchtower. A glorious villa for families and friends alike offering tranquility and calm in the countryside.
Its peaceful setting is conveniently close to Todi, Orvieto and Perugia where you'll find a great choice of restaurants, shopping, art galleries and nightlife; to Montefalco and the wine district of Umbria and to Spoleto and Assisi, for medieval architecture, white truffles, olive oil production and Franciscan itineraries through woods and hillside retreats of hermits.
The villa is very spacious. Interiors are carefully furnished in a traditional country style conserving the traditional charm of classic Italian life: wooden-beamed ceilings, pastel colours, terracotta floors and modern facilities. The house is split into 2 parts: the main villa and the cottage.
