Villa Rosalia and the breathless sunsets between Tuscany and Umbria!
This post is also available in:
Splendid Villa Rosalia is located in Umbria, a region renowned for its medieval hilltop villages, unspoiled nature and food and wine tradition.
We are in Baschi, a historic medieval centre set on a rocky spike overlooking the Tiber, whose origins derive from Etruscan settlements and not far from the fascinating town of Orvieto.
The recurring colour of this villa is yellow ocher which creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, an intimate environment where you immediately feel at home.
The spacious, cosy rooms have air conditioning and French windows opening out onto the green garden. The house is furnished simply and plainly, with terracotta floors, wooden ceiling beams and windows that illuminate the living room which faces directly out onto the portico which is set up for outdoor dining.
Villa Rosalia consists of the main house and an annex on a lower floor.
The beautiful private pool, with a spectacular view towards the Cimini mounts, is located on a slightly lower level and is framed by a large garden composed of a green lawn, numerous plants, tall trees and flowers typical of the area.
The location of the house, in a particularly favourable position, allows guests to make short trips along the innumerable cultural and naturalistic itineraries that wind through the entire territory of this most mystical and green region of Italy.
Furthermore, the proximity to the main motorway junction facilitates travel to Tuscany and Lazio to visit the famous art localities, such as Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Viterbo and many others.
