Stallina, Montone - Perugia

Stallina is a fantastic Tuscan villa in the hills on the Umbrian-Tuscan border between Città del Castello and Perugia. It is a property composed of three individual houses, in one lives the owners. Stallina is the smaller of the two rental villas on the property. The two villas are not rented to different groups of people.

On the lavender producing Pereto estate where the villa is located, is a pretty pool, found in a secluded area surrounded by plenty of local plants with a view to the nearby fields. At the pool is a covered furnished terrace to relax out of the warm Tuscan sun.

The smaller, ivy covered, two floor cottage is surrounded by plenty of plants, to one side is a small terrace furnished with table and chairs to dine al fresco. It is shaded by two lovely tall trees.

Inside is a brightly coloured open plan room, with a mezzanine floor. It is paved with the original terracotta and has a traditional ceiling of wooden beams and terracotta tiles. To one side of the room is a lounge with a comfortable wooden sofa for two people and two leather armchairs around a large fireplace for the cooler evenings.

The kitchen and diner are located under the mezzanine floor. It is a traditional Tuscan villa kitchen built-in with wooden doors and a stone sink. It has modern touches of gas hobs, a tiny oven and a small fridge with internal icebox. In the centre of the room is a wooden table with chairs for four.

On the mezzanine floor is the first of the two bedrooms. It's a double room with a low bed and an antique chest of drawers. The room slopes down to one side where care needs to be taken by taller guests. A wonderful, intricately worked iron railing provides protection over the living area below.

The second bedroom is off a small hall, from where there is also access to a large bathroom with tub with handheld shower. The bedroom is a spacious double room with an antique iron bed. In the room is a simple, antique wardrobe with a matching unit with shelving. Double glass doors provide access to the small terrace.

The owners live on the property but do not share the pool. There is also a small shop selling lavender products on the property.
Note that there are 7 cats and 2 dogs roaming freely on the property.

2 double bedrooms

The mezzanine floor is not indicated on the floor plans.

The salt cleansed pool is located to one side of the garden slightly below the villas. To get to the pool area there is a slope and some steps in the perfectly maintained garden. It has a large paved sun deck dotted with several comfortable sunbeds which look out to the simple views of the surrounding hills with forests and fields.

To one side of the pool there is a pretty stone building which has a fridge to keep drinks cool and a stereo. Attached to this is a lovely pergola shading a table with chairs.
It is 5x12 metres and 1.3-2.3 metres deep. It's open from May to September, weather permitting.
