About the villa

With a pool house encompassing a kitchenette, the villa’s fifth bedroom, and a terrace for al fresco lunches, and with long lawns for lounging in the sun, the views from the exceptional swimming pool area are a timeless panorama of olive groves and rolling countryside. The main house is higher on the hillside, enjoying the same splendid outlook from a delightful covered dining terrace and from its three first floor bedrooms. And, separated just enough for added privacy, a studio suite houses the fourth en suite bedroom and its own sitting room. Named for the magnificent sun dial in the property, La Meridiana is a spacious and special place, featured in House & Garden and furnished throughout with beautiful fabrics, prints and paintings, and carefully chosen objets d’art. Relaxation comes naturally here, enhanced by inclusive cook service; and for active leisure, the villa has table tennis and shares a tennis court with a sister property. Restaurants at the pretty lakeside village of Colle di Tora are just a 13km drive from the villa, and Rome is just an hour (and a world) away.

About the area

Near Orvieto, Todi & Northern Lazio

Average weather

In the south, an Umbria holiday comes dotted with honey-coloured stone farmsteads and sprinkled with olive groves—this region is not called ‘Italy’s green heart’ for nothing. The towns are a must-see for cathedral connoisseurs: there’s nothing restrained about the façade at Orvieto, yet one simple rose window is all that breaks up the classy simplicity at Todi. All of southern Umbria’s villas are within day-trip distance of Rome, too: the station at Orvieto has a fast link with the capital.

Essential Information

Please note that there is a European tourist tax payable on arrival to the House Manager. This only applies to guests over 12 years and the amount varies from €1 .50 to €5 per person and is set by the local council. Further details will be advised prior to arrival

Having a barbecue in Italy is one of the best ways to cook your food but you may find that due to long drought periods in high season barbecuing may be restricted in some areas. You will be informed if this happens by your house staff or local representative.
