Poggio Le Martore 14

Poggio Le Martore is a splendid country house located in the heart of Umbria, a unique border land characterised by a rich culture of good living and good food, just a short distance from the lively art city of Orvieto. The villa, clad in local stone with most of the walls covered in beautiful evergreen climbing plants, was designed with modern criteria while maintaining the classic style of the area. The heart of the house is the spacious open-plan living area with comfortable sitting room, dining room and kitchen, furnished with soft sofas, satellite TV, fireplace, chairs and table where you can all eat happily together, facing the outdoor dining area under the portico with barbecue. All the bedrooms are on the upper floors, furnished with taste combined with warm colours that create a welcoming atmosphere, and all are equipped with air conditioning. Poggio Le Martore lies within a 2-hectare, fenced estate with olive grove, plants, tall trees and flowers that colour the area in the different seasons. The swimming pool, for the exclusive use of guests, is about 20 m from the house and is located at a slightly higher level. Everything contributes in giving the house an appeal that is even more accentuated by the garden which is completed by a shady outdoor living space where you can play bocce or table tennis or just simply relax in the outdoor sitting area with a good glass of wine. The house is 18 km from the Orvieto motorway exit and very close to southern Tuscany. Not far away are numerous attractions you can visit: Orvieto, Narni, the Marmore waterfalls, the archaeological area of Carsulae, Amelia, Todi and, in Tuscany, the beautiful little towns of the Val di Chiana, such as Montepulciano, Cetona or Chianciano Terme, or the borghi of the nearby Val d'Orcia, such as Montalcino, Pienza, San Quirico, Castiglione or Bagno Vignoni.

Park:
The 2-hectare, fenced garden surrounding Poggio Le Martore is planted with olive groves, various types of trees, herbs, palms and splendid evergreen climbing plants and flowers that seem to embrace the house. Leaving the sitting room through the main door, you come to an area under the portico, set up for alfresco meals with a brick barbecue and equipped with chairs, table and benches. Behind the house is an area shaded by large trees where you can play bocce or table tennis or just simply relax while sipping a good glass of wine in the outdoor sitting area with friends. From the entrance gate, a row of trees flanks the driveway up to the house and the 5-car parking area.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
