Villa La Corte is located on an isolated hill just outside the tiny village of Castel dell'Aquila, in the heart of southern Umbria. The house, dating back to the 50s, has recently been renovated. Completely clad in light exposed stone, it features rooms of great charm and elegance, finely decorated in delicate shades of gray and white, with wooden furniture and carefully matched accessories. The multiple entrances on the ground floor make it continually accessible from the outside. The large living room, which includes the comfortable lounge and dining area connected to the professional kitchen, expands out onto the large portico in front and onto the adjacent swimming pool, consenting full use of the lovely well-tended garden. At the centre of an area of high natural value, in which culture and history harmoniously combine with ecologically intact and scenically beautiful environments, within a radius of a few kilometres you will discover treasures of undiminished charm like Orvieto, Todi, Spoleto, Perugia, Assisi and Norcia as well as the beautiful Marmore waterfalls, the famous archaeological area of Carsulae or the suggestive fossil forest of Dunarobba. Castel dell'Aquila, about one kilometre away, will be the reference point for your daily shopping.
