In Città della Pieve,
half way between Rome and Florence
(both easily reached in a little over an hour), one will
find Villa Cerqualto, at the border of Umbria and
Tuscany.
A luxurious and romantic private residence where up to 8
guests can stay. With the exception of high season,
it is also possible to rent out a part of the villa.
Villa Cerqualto is completely
restored using only natural
and organic materials, beautifully decorated with antique
furnishings of a German aristocratic family, and surrounded
by great oak trees and a lovely garden.
The house is about 200 years old, warm and welcoming, positioned
on a rolling hill from which a marvelous
view can be seen,
inviting you to tranquility and peace.
A low chemical pool surrounded
by an olive grove is provided
to our guests for a hot summers day, fully furnished with
wooden lawn chairs and umbrellas.

A few steps from the kitchen terrace is the wooden pergola
with a tiled roof and overgrown with Roses, Jasmine and Vines.
The large table seats up to 12 guests and is sheltered by
to much sun or the occasional raindrop.
A stone built barbecue with integrated
basin and fridge is alongside. A natural terrace/ridge gives
shelter from cool wind in the evening or early and late season.
A small kitchen garden provides you with herbs, tomatoes and
salad for your dinners under the stars.

The farm which wraps around the villa extends 8
hectares (about 16 acres), where we produce organic
wine and olive
oil.
The House is situated on the hills near Tuscany,
311 slm, between Monteleone
d´Orvieto and Città
della Pieve, few kilometers from Cetona,
San Casciano de Bagni (hot springs),
Orvieto, the wildlife isles of
Alviano and Montepulciano,
near Chiusi, an Etruscan
town.
By train (station is 10 min.
far from the house) you can reach Rome
and Florence within 1
and 1/2 h. A lovely cultural and panoramic road drives
you to the seaside of Tuscany,
Santo Stefano and Monte
Agentario (it is about 90 km far from Villa Cerqualto).
You can easily reach the Bolsena Lake,
a volcanic lake shortly after Orvieto, the most important
Etruscan town in Italy.
Perugia, Assisi,
Montefalco, Siena
and Arezzo (Antic market) can
be reached in about 40 min.
Trasimeno Lake is very near:
you can rent a boat to visit the lake's islands enjoying delicious
fish restaurants. Many events in summer like
jazz Festival or the Palio in
Cittá della Pieve are worth a visit.
