The whole property is connected to mains water, so the water from all cold taps is SAFE TO DRINK.

This is the perfect location for a family holiday, a romantic getaway, and for seeing all that Umbria, Tuscany, and Marche have to offer or just enjoying the large pool and the wonderful 360-degree views of this un-spoilt country.

The restoration of this old farmhouse was completed, by us, in 2017. It was the farm building to a much larger property, now known as Villa Baroque.

We are located just outside the village of Badia Petroia , up a tree-lined road some 8 km west of Trestina, 45 km North of Perugia in the Upper Tiber valley.

The middle third of this property was first built as a defensive watchtower and dates from the 13th century. It formed part of a line of towers running along, what was then, the border between Umbria and Tuscany.

The two adjoining sides of this building are believed to have been added around 300 years ago. The left side was, until recently, a tobacco drying tower and the right side was mainly used for animals, staff accommodation, and storage.


The property upstairs has 2 very large en-suite bedrooms which face east and, through the French windows with Juliet balconies, you can see the swimming pool and the wonderful panoramic views.

Both bedrooms have US Queen size double beds, bedside tables, chest of drawers, double wardrobe, and HDTV. There is also a single bed and a full-size cot available.
The en-suite marble bathrooms have walk-in showers, sink, bidet, and toilet.

We can also provide a baby bath and high chair if needed.
Downstairs, there is a separate toilet with a sink.

The Lounge has a Log burner, queen sofa bed and single chair, coffee table, and HDTV, with access to the patio and garden via French windows.

There is a large, fully equipped kitchen/dinner, with a large table and chairs to seat 8 people, dishwasher, electric cooker, electric hob, microwave, and fridge freezer, with access to the parking area via French windows.

The utility/laundry room houses a washing machine and a central heating/hot water boiler. The gas central heating is available at an extra charge.

The whole property is fully Air-Conditioned which is available at an extra charge.
The 16m x 5m Swimming Pool is 1.2m to 1.8m deep and is serviced and cleaned weekly.

The 18m x 6m Sun deck faces east, so having the sun all day. It provides a wonderful panoramic view of the Nestor valley, the hills all around, and the Apennine Mountains.

The property is accessed through electric remote-controlled gates with a video camera to the 8 car parking area. Inside the property, there is a video screen to show you who are calling and buttons to open the main and side gates.

For your safety and security, the whole property is protected by a security alarm system and all rooms have built-in fire and smoke detectors.
