The Murlo Estate is one of the most exclusive private country estates in Italy, owned by the same family for generations.
Renowned for its thousands of hectares of immaculate woods and olive groves, and for its superb valleys, lakes and rivers, it is the perfect place for a relaxing and tranquil holiday, offering a high level of comfort and elegance.
Situated in the enchanting Umbrian valley, the Estate offers a wide selection of possibilities for its guests with: 6 luxury villas, a charming apartment, 3 deluxe rooms and 2 romantic cottages, all elegantly furnished and offering superior levels of comfort.
The Estate's restaurant, Il Caldaro, is housed in a stunning medieval farm house rebuilt over the ruins of a defensive tower dating back to the 14th Century and now transformed into a stylish restaurant.
Il Caldaro offers traditional Umbrian dishes but revisits them in a modern style, always with great
care in maintaining and highlighting the genuine flavours of the ingredients. The wine cellar has a strong focus on local labels with particular emphasis given to boutique, quality producers, as well as obviously paying homage to the great wines of Italy.
This two bedroom apartment, with 2 king-size double bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms, is a part of a Villa. It has an independent entrance and is perfect for two couples or a family of four. The apartment is well equipped for self catering with a dishwasher, fridge and oven as well as a washing machine, iron and ironing board supplied.
The swimming pool is shared if the villa is occupied.
With its light-filled kitchen and French doors leading onto the terrace, it offers you an amazing chance to enjoy the surrounding Umbrian countryside and has spectacular views over the Antognolla golf course and castle.

Region
For a long time Umbria lived in the shadow of its illustrious neighbour Tuscany, but in recent years this delightful region, known as the ‘green heart of Italy’, has come into its own. It continues the characteristics of Tuscany as it rumbles southward towards Rome, a land rich in agriculture both on the higher plains and in the fertile river valleys. Matters were helped by the runaway bestseller book ‘Under a Tuscan Sun’ which was based on the very southern edge of Tuscany in the town of Cortona where Tuscany meets Umbria but which brought this region to public attention.
Umbria is also a stronghold of remnants from the Etruscan dynasty that ruled Italy before the Greeks colonised it – Perugia, the regional capital, was an Etruscan fortified town for example, and there are remains of this obscure culture of which so little is known to be found. It was perhaps inevitable that such a glorious region could not stay forever in obscurity. Umbria offers the visitor the full swathe of good Italian experiences. Fascinating hillside villages such as Gubbio, considered the most perfect medieval town in Italy, Orvieto with its other worldly Cathedral, and Perugia, the graceful capital of the region, bask in a landscape of lakes, forests and, in the far distance, the Apennine Mountains dusted with snow.
Local Area
Murlo has the unique advantage of being situated in the very centre of Umbria, an area where the simple pleasures of country living embrace art, history and architecture offering wonderful food and wine in nearby towns throughout the two adjoining regions of Lazio and Tuscany.
Florence and Rome are within 2 hrs drive of the Estate and Siena, Arezzo, Assisi, Gubbio, Todi and Orvieto are all closeby. The region’s capital city Perugia is just 20 minutes away and offers a wealth of cultural activities that include opera and the famous Umbria Jazz and Eurochocolate festivals.
Other spectacular hilltop towns include Cortona and Preggio, the latter with its annual classical music festival, as well as the annual Montone Film Festival which attracts an international audience.
