Our home is a beautifully restored historic house in the heart of a lovely Umbrian hill town, Monteleone d’Orvieto. There is lots to explore in the area, we are right on the Tuscan border. Monteleone d’Orvieto is about a 2 hour drive from either Rome or Florence.
The space
Our home has all the modern conveniences but also rustic Italian charm. We have 2 large bedrooms upstairs (1 en suite). The beds are comfortable and the water pressure is excellent. The main floor is a living room, dining room and modern kitchen. The ground floor is an extra room with 2 folding beds, perfect for kids. The ground floor also has a utility room and half bathroom.
Guest access
Our house is 3 floors with stone stairs so probably not very good for someone with mobility issues.
Notes
We don’t have air conditioning, but several fans and all the windows have pull down screens. We don’t have cable, but have excellent WiFi with a Apple TV box, so you can access Netflix, Amazon, etc.
We have lots of guidebooks about the area and there is so much to see nearby.
We ask that you pay the house cleaner upon your departure. The cost is €60.

Neighbourhood
Monteleone is a small Umbrian Hill town. We have an excellent restaurant, Seven Cafe. They also rent bicycles and can arrange truffle hunting expeditions with their dogs. We can also arrange an Italian cooking class in the house if you like.
The town also has a butcher, post office, small grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, coffee shop, bar and a hair salon.
There are also seafood and fresh vegetable trucks that come through town a few times a week. Everyone is really friendly!
Getting to my home
If arriving by car, we are very close to the A1 freeway, exit at Fabro. Nearest train stations are Fabro and Chiusi.
Nearest airport
Rome Fumicino or Perugia
Getting around
You can walk to everything in the town, but to really see the area you will need a car.
The closest train station is in Chiusi, about a 20 minute drive away. You can get trains to everywhere in Italy from there.
