Villa ' Pian del Rocchio ' - Beautiful Country House in a lush Umbria plateau

In Umbria, the green heart of Italy, there is a place that speaks to you with tranquility and peace. A place where you are embraced by nature and history. Where you realize that above else, being on vacation means getting closer to yourself.
Villa Pian del Rocchio is a place designed to accommodate the interest of the people staying there, to respect their inclinations and their wish to stay where they feel truly at ease.
- Villa Pian del Rocchio has a geometry architecturally defined as 'spontaneous' - typical of the old country homes shaped over the years by adding on new living spaces to satisfy the changing needs of the large farming households that lived there.
- The Villa is in five blocks: three central ones (the Tower, the Hearth, the Kitchen) and two side ones (the Dining Room and the Veranda). The entire 'daytime' is on the ground floor, and the upper floors, with 5 bedrooms, house the 'night-time area'.


THE GROUND FLOOR: The ground levels have floors in 'cotto fiorentino' - Florentine-style fired brick. The doors and windows are in solid chestnut, with roll-up screens.
- The Villa is furnished with beautiful pieces all restored to perfect condition. Combined with the charming colors of the upholstery and wallpaper, they create a warm, family atmosphere.
- The Sitting room is furnished with comfortable sofas and armchairs, plus a spacious built-in bookshelf that also contains a stereo system and satellite television. The large fireplace gives ambiance character and warmth.
- The Dining room has two large windows, one looking out on the garden and the other on the flowerbed with its specimens of 'antiques roses'. The walnut table seats 10-12 guests. A comfortable, colourful 'Dormeuse' for a relaxing afternoon siesta in the cool shade of the house complete the furnishing.


The Game room has two game tables (backgammon, cards, bridge board games and bidding box are available) as well as a harmoniously old-fashioned regular billiards table.
- The spacious yet cosy hi-tech Kitchen is completely furnished and equipped with a large oven and range, a refrigerator/freezer with ice dispenser, a built-in microwave and dishwasher.
- The large cool and sheltered Veranda, adjacent to the house, has a large, rectangular wrought-iron table easily capable of accommodating 12-14 guests for all outdoor occasions.
- The Parlour area has a 'guest bath' and the ground floor Laundry room is equipped with washer and ironing supplies.

THE FIRST & SECOND FLOOR (Mansarda): The bedrooms all have warm, light oaken parquet floors and beds may be quickly rearranged to suit the Guests' needs.
- Of the four first-floor bedrooms with en suite bathroom, one has a double bed and the other three have twin beds.
- The fifth bedroom with en suite bathroom, on the mansard level, is particularly large with a double bed.
- The bathrooms are all delightfully decorated with precious matching tiles, with large showers and ceramic sinks. The marble-lined bathroom has a whirlpool bath.
- All the bedrooms have private terraces that look out on two small lakes, one to the north and one to the south of the Villa, and offer a splendid view of the surroundings.

Amazing villa with lovely hosts
We had a fantastic week in Gaetano’s home, the villa is very comfortable, the pool is amazing and it’s a great location. The air con is a godsend and the house is really well appointed-we loved playing billiards, table tennis and table football! Gaetano speak fantastic English and was really helpful with recommendations etc. He and his wife stay in a smaller property on the same site but this did not bother us at all as they left us to have the run of the villa and complete peace. I can highly recommend staying here

Fabulous Villa
The villa was perfect for us, the pool was lovely and the house very practical for 2 families. Gaetano was on hand for any questions we had - he stayed in a little house to the side of the villa within the garden, with his wife Clara who we didn't get to meet. This is very much a family home with personal items around the house and the layout is good. Understandably the billiard table is not for use by children. The garden is a good size and allows plenty of room for the kids to run around - it is fully fenced and well kept. Gaetano was extremely generous with his time and recommendations and looked out for the kids. We had a fabulous week and I'd fully recommend a stay here.

Lovely italian home
We had a lovely time. The property is as described and the kitchen is very well stocked, making meal preparation easy. Views from the property and particularly the balconies are lovely. The pool is a great size, especially if you have older children. Geatano was very helpful including showing us the best restaurants and take aways in town. The ravioli from the fresh pasta shop he took us to was outstanding.

La nostra vacanza è stata molto piacevole, grazie anche alla posizione della struttura, che oltre ad avere una vista stupenda, è facile da raggiungere e godi di una posizione comoda. Struttura accogliente ben tenuta e molto ben pulita. Il Sig. Gaetano e la Sig. Clara, presenti in modo discreto nella proprietà, sono stati sempre disponibili ed accurati nelle indicazioni fornite. Un posto che sicuramente consiglierei.

Alle luxe, alle ruimte, echt genieten
Wat een prachtige plek! Het huis en de tuin bieden weids uitzicht. Je bent echt van de wereld en toch ben je met tien minuten rijden bij winkels en restaurants. Een paar prachtige steden binnen een uur rijafstand maken de locatie compleet. De tuin is mooi ruim, het zwembad is opvallend groot, je kunt altijd ergens zon of schaduw vinden. Het huis zelf is riant en het ontbreekt aan vrijwel niets; we hebben hier zelf ook veel gekookt en gebakken en altijd buiten gegeten. Huis en tuin worden supergoed bijgehouden, ook tijdens de vakantie, en de eigenaar is goed aanspreekbaar. Dit waren twee zalige weken!

Fantastic house with plenty of space for 10 persons. Very well equiped.
Fantastic place with a wonderful view over the Umbria landscape. We really enjoyed every day of our 2 weeks stay. Very nice and big pool with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. Beautiful garden where you could find calm places and shadow. Several places for eating outside. You find many small nice towns close to the house and it was a big challenge to ride our racing bikes when you come from a flat country like Denmark. It was the second time my son and his family stayed here and the first time for me and my wife. And we are convinced that we will be back later. The host family Zapulla took care of everything in the garden and pool - and all kind of request we had were immediately answered. If you want to enjoy Umbria we strongly recommend you to take a stay at Pian del Rocchio into consideration. Bjørn Larsen, Denmark
