Casa Andrea, Orvieto - Orvieto in Umbria

A smart two-storey stone villa rising out of the heart of an organic farming estate, Casa Andrea is a stylish bolthole particularly well-suited to couples who wish to holiday together. Here, you can while away the days exploring the cliff-top city of Orvieto, home to a 13th-century cathedral and the National Archaeological Museum, or strike out into the Umbrian countryside on the complimentary bikes that are provided for guests.

After a day’s exploring, the villa and its peaceful gardens are a sanctuary. Pull up a lounger by the private pool to catch the sun’s last rays, or enjoy the views of the gently sloping fields at sunset from the sofa on the main terrace. Inside, the recently renovated villa seamlessly blends the new with original features such as the lounge’s exposed stone wall. Communal dinners will be a joy to prepare, with an abundance of homegrown farm produce for the table and plenty of space for convivial evenings.  When it’s time to retire, you’ve a choice of four beautifully furnished double bedrooms for some well-deserved rest.

Our Thoughts
We love this villa for its situation on a working organic farm estate, giving an authentic taste of the Umbrian countryside. Not only is the stylishly renovated property a tranquil retreat, but it offers a farm-to-fork experience to our guests, who are able to purchase produce such as milk, eggs, cheese and meat for their meals. The owners also include a free guided tour and tasting at a local organic farmhouse that produces delicious goat’s cheese.

Notes
Four bedrooms. Four en-suite bathrooms, plus guest cloakroom with WC. There are five mountain bikes for guests’ use. The estate is protected from hunting, so is a sanctuary for lots of wildlife.
The owner has installed an electric car recharger with solar panels. This means that it is possible to recharge an electric car for free during sun hours (8:30 – 18:30).
Parking - on site.

Pool
The swimming pool is directly outside the villa, on a partly fenced and paved terrace. The water is reached by a metal ladder. The pool measures 8.5x3.5 metres with a depth of 1.0x1.45 metres and is chlorine cleansed. The pool is open from June to September.
