A stunning stone villa perched amidst the breathtaking landscape of Umbria, Villa Montana is a special spot indeed. A dazzling swimming pool admires the serene mountainous surroundings, after which the villa is named, with opulent sunbeds on a terracotta terrace. Sit back and sip on a cooling drink as you read your book, or admire the speculator sunsets as the skies turn a dusty pink with the sweet smell of lavender across the manicured lawns.

As you enter the two-story villa, neutral tones and soft fabrics await - plush cushions on opulent sofas beckon you to sink into them and relax. The rustic-chic sitting room with its cool terracotta floors, beautiful beamed ceiling and soft stone fireplace is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. Walk into a beautiful Italian kitchen and admire the pretty pale yellow walls, magnificent marble surfaces and endless array of appliances. Once you’ve cooked up a storm, you can relax and unwind whilst dining al fresco in the magical gardens.

Four enchanting ensuite bedrooms have been elegantly designed, with dashing pastel colours of orange, lilac and blue. Consisting of four king beds, with one room converting to two single beds on request, the villa is ideal for families with children.

Just moments away from the hilltop town of Assisi, famous for its magnificent medieval Basilica of St. Francis, a UNESCO world heritage site, there is plenty of history to discover in the surrounding area. Also known as the green heart of Italy, Assisi abounds in endless delicious local produce, such as olive oil, truffle and a large variety of Italian wines - sampling these is a must when visiting this hidden treasure of Italy.
