Apartment Description
DESCRIPTION
The “Antica Posta of Vallelunga” country-house is located in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, at a 15 minutes from Perugia. Surrounded by the hills of this land, the structure lies in Vocabolo Vallelunga of Badiola where the roads to Orvieto, Lake Trasimeno and Citta della Pieve converged. Between the 13th and 16th centuries, this merging of roads marked the old via Orvietana which linked Perugia to Orvieto, Lake Bolsena and the Francigena way.
This junction was also characterized by the presence of an edifice, the country-house in question, where Benedictine monks gave shelter to wayfarers, merchants, pilgrims and their horses.
Now transformed by its owners into a country-house marked by elegant furnishings and attention to detail, the Antica Posta offers 7 apartments, all very recently restructured. The facility, situated in the heart of Umbria, is very close to cities like Assisi, only 25 minutes away by car, and to all of the more important Tuscan and Umbrian cities of art including Todi, Spoleto, Spello, Gubbio, Citta di Castello, Arezzo, Siena, Cortona, and Citta della Pieve. Rome is an hour and a half away by train from Perugia’s Fontivegge station, as is Florence. There are 2 golf courses near the country-house: the golf club of S. Sabina, 6 kilometers away, and the Golf club Lamborghini, at 20 kilometers. A supermarket, bakery and newsagent are only a few minutes away by car.
All the apartments have linen for the bedrooms, pillows, blankets and linen for the bathroom. In all the kitchens there are plates, glasses, cutlery, pots, pans and all the necessary in order to pass the vacations without problems.
The owners have sought to re-create a family atmosphere in all seven of the country-house apartments, in order to satisfy those guests who wish to enjoy both the quiet of country life and the refinement of an exclusive facility.
THE STRUCTURE
What characterizes the Antica Posta of Vallelunga, besides nature and the green that colors the entire valley, is without doubt the elegance of its furnishings, the refinement and taste for the antique which the owners have put into the restoration of the country-house and its furnishing.
Each apartment is completely independent, and the kitchens are equipped with electric ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers (the kitchen of grapes apartment has electric oven and fridge), and all that a family might need. Some of the apartments also offer the use of a fireplace.
The structure, surrounded by the green of the countryside, boasts a private garden of one hectare, two large parking lots and a 16 x 18-6-meters swimming pool.
The owners have preserved various original features of the apartments such as arches, wooden beams, old stones, the fireplaces and all else that confers on the structure an aura of the past, an effort that can be noted both inside and outside the complex, where harmony has also been preserved between the surrounding vegetation and the elegant exterior structure.
MELOGRANO
The 7 apartments are distributed between 2 outbuildings and the main Villa.
A the first floor of the Main villa we found the apartment Melograno, the largest of the three apartments on the first floor. The Melograno is composed of a living room with kitchen equipped with electric oven, dishwasher and refrigerator, and a large loft where one can relax with a book or watch television and where we find a sofa-bed. In the sleeping area we find a single bedroom, a large double bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
