Poggio Posillipo: Country House in the Heart of Italy

Two hectares of woods and unspoiled nature surround Poggio Posillipo: an ancient villa that combines the pristine charm of Umbria with Italian authentic search for excellence. Explore the heart of Italy through beautiful views over the rolling fields and characteristic medieval towns.

Nestled amidst the rolling hills and picturesque landscapes of Umbria, lies a countryside hidden gem. Poggio Posillipo is a charming house, standing as a testament to the region’s rich history and natural beauty. Surrounded by the flourishing nature and a serene atmosphere of beauty, the country house offers a truly unforgettable retreat for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.

The story of the house dates back to the 1700s and it still retains the same charm that characterized the architecture of the time. The hillock was first served by a mule track, which has been brought back to its rustic splendor and is now visible among the fields where tomato crops, orchards and cattle breeding have alternated over the centuries.

Poggio Posillipo boasts breathtaking vistas of verdant valleys, rolling hills and ancient fields: a landscape that changes with the seasons, creating a tapestry of colors that captivates the senses. Perfectly immersed in this enchanting scenario, the house has been completely restored with a conservative work that preserved the ancient south-east wall and the main characteristics of the original structure.

The interiors of the country house are a curious mix of ancient and new, where original brick walls and floors are combined with contemporary and comfortable furniture. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the exquisite fabrics to the curious objects scattered all around, recalling the regional rustic style. Everywhere in the house you can enjoy the beauty of nature and the warm light of the Umbrian countryside coming from the windows.

Poggio Posillipo is a heaven for the senses: the scent and the colors of the flowers perfectly blends with the warm shades of the house, in a mix of brooms, lavender and country flowers. Anyone visiting the Villa cannot fail to be enchanted by the serenity of this landscape. The contact with the nature is at the very heart of the experience: whether you decide to relax under the flowery portico, take a dip in the swimming pool surrounded by greenery or enjoy a tennis match, you will always be surrounded by the beauty of Umbria.

Poggio Posillipo is a perfect location from which to explore the heart of Italy: from the historic cities of Todi, Spoleto, Assisi and Perugia to hiking and biking trails that invite you to explore the nature and the lakes of Trasimeno and Bolsena. Whether you seek to unwind amidst nature's embrace, indulge in culinary delights, or explore the region's cultural treasures, Poggio Posillipo promises an unforgettable journey through the heart of Umbria.
