Rural beauty and simplicity, Italian style.

Simplicity Italian style is never just plain simple. It is usually simple and beautiful and both the Casa Roccio and dell Arco, located within the Borgo di Pianciano estate are a case in point. The whole estate where these three houses are encompassed has been in the hands of the Bachetoni family since 1911 and also happens to be one of the leading olive tree farms in the whole of Umbria. It takes in the main villa, called Paradiso, built at the end of the seventeenth century and still is used by the family as a summer residence and several rural buildings.

Located 11 km away from beautiful Spoleto, the whole estate takes in 2000 acres of peaceful and totally unspoiled Umbrian landscape. There are literally thousands of olive trees around it – over 18,000 at the last count - as well as wild fauna, such as boars and pheasants. The three houses available for guests fit in perfectly into this typical northern Italian ambience and beauty, what with their stone walls both wonderful from the outside and inside and the shaded terraces being a must in the summer, whilst the swimming pool is actually a ten minute walk away by the main villa.

The houses are not just stones and mortar, though. They are also a way of life and here you can buy olive oil, meat and even truffles when in season. Please note, however, the houses are only available from March through to October, on a weekly basis. The Casa della Roccia and Casa del Cipresso take 6 people and larger Casa dell Arco takes 8.
