Farmhouse Italy - these holiday apartments for rent, on an organic farm in Umbria, make a beautiful base for a vacation in Italy, with excellent holiday facilities and a large swimming pool.
Agriturismo Santa Maria is near San Venanzo, between the historical towns of Orvieto, Todi and Perugia. This is a family concern, run by French-Italian couple Daniel Boutet and Rosaria Iacovino (and children Emanuel and Francesco). Their home - and your holiday home - is a little uncontaminated paradise among oak trees and rivers in the green heart of Umbria.
The farmhouse is equipped for children and adults with disabilities, and all are most welcome. Santa Maria Farm is surrounded by oak trees and junipers. It comprises 50 hectares of land divided between organic olive groves and arable land. In season you can pick strawberries, mushrooms, wild asparagus, truffles and chicory. You can admire the eight magnificent Maremma horses, explore by foot, mountain bike or horseback and enjoy the 7 x 16 metre swimming pool.
There are two Umbrian holiday farmhouses for hire: Cerreto Alto and Cerreto. Cerreto is a stone-built 17th century house on a hill overlooking a quiet valley, and situated between two mediaeval villages. This farmhouse has a spacious entrance hall, with a big old fireplace. You can book the entire (740 square metre) house, or any of the six separate apartments - each of which has its own private terrace. Choose from 1, 2 or 3 bed apartments, all with their own bathrooms and all with use of a fully equipped kitchen.
