The splendid villa, Col di Casale, well maintained in every detail, is located near Montone in Umbria. The house was designed and furnished in classic style with numerous Italian and English antiques. Entering it is like crossing the threshold of a palace in which classic furnishings are the protagonists: rugs, paintings, candelabras, sofas, tables and beds. Beauty blends with comfort and Col di Casale emits a sense of great simplicity and harmony. The owners had in their mind the idea of a long telescopic view running through the house, creating a series of rooms, starting from the entrance hall and then opening up to the view of the valley with the large panoramic terrace towards pristine woods and hills. The sight of the property immediately makes you think of a Provenรงal house, surrounded by lavender, numerous types of flowers and climbing roses draping the front door. The house, originally18th century, is completely clad in stone and characterised by white-painted wooden beams, terracotta floors and large windows that light up all the rooms. The bedrooms are located on the first floor and are large, brightly-lit and comfortable, personalised by objects and warm colours on the walls and they have all air conditioning. The beautiful pergola, with direct exit from the dining room, and the heated private swimming pool with night cover, located on a lower level, allows you to better appreciate your moments of relaxation and tranquillity with breathtaking views. 6 km away are grocery shops, restaurants and bars. Thanks to its favourable geographical location, just a few km from the highway, you can alternate peaceful relaxation with interesting excursions to the numerous rural borghi in the immediate vicinity. Finally, the excellent network of road connections allows easy travel to the most important art cities of Umbria and Tuscany such as Gubbio, Umbertide, Cittร di Castello, Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Todi, Siena and Cortona. The house has two floors connected internally by a brick staircase.
The main entrance, on the ground floor, is composed of a series of three zones for use as a sitting room; up to the dining area, the whole area is open-plan with just a few steps dividing the various zones.

The ground floor is completed by a TV room, a bathroom with shower and a laundry room.
