Tenuta di Boschi, Montegabbione, Umbria, Italy

Umbria is a very sought after area in Italy. Colin Firth lives here and Ed Sheeran has just moved in.

Tenuta di Boschi is a large manor house, perfect for weddings, hen or stag parties, large family celebrations.

The living area of the manor house measures 900+ sq m. In total, there are 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, a large salon with an open fireplace opening onto the vast terrace, dining room, kitchen, TV room, library and reading room.

The garden close to the house is full of olive trees, cypress trees, lavender, wild fennel, bay, and rosemary - a butterfly and bee paradise. Fire flies are abundant in summer. There is a formal garden to the rear of the house, and streams with cascades.

The heated 14 x 7 metre outside chlorine pool overlooks the valley, with a pump house and changing room with shower and WC. There is also a shower at the pool side.

The property extends to 220 acres. The property produces it's own olive oil, and we offer you the chance to use it during your stay - the best virgin olive oil in Umbria. There are deer, wild boar, hare and porcupine on the estate, as well as black truffles and porcini mushrooms. Apples, apricots, figs (black and green), cherries (black and red), peaches, almonds and walnuts grow in the grounds.

A washing and ironing service may be available, payable direct to the house keeper who comes in once a week to do a basic clean (included) in the living areas. Food shopping is available at a further small charge.

Electricity, fast internet, LPG gas, spring water and Sky television are provided. As well as central heating (radiators) there is underfloor heating on the ground floor and in the master suite. Water supply is guaranteed by two efficient private wells.
