Villa Gioianna


WELCOME Imagine staying in an historic villa atop a hill in the Umbrian countryside - listening to birdsong as you drink your morning coffee on the terrace, sipping an aperitivo at dusk under a gazebo smothered in jasmine, and being looked after by warm, friendly hosts. That's a vacation, an idyll, an oasis of tranquility. Enjoy the gentle pleasures of a house furnished with European antiques, comfortable beds and down-filled sofas. Cool off in a tiled swimming pool set in an olive grove. Linger over a meal grilled in an open fireplace over olive-wood coals. And, if you can tear yourself away from this haven, close by you can explore some of the most beautiful medieval villages and towns on this planet, together containing an estimated 20% of the world's artistic heritage. You could build a lazy day around a superb lunch at either a modest family trattoria or a sophisticated restaurant, or visit an outdoor market or shop selling antiques, hand painted ceramics, linens, leather, woodworking and other fine crafts. Or, just head out the back door on a country walk through a landscape seemingly cut and pasted from a Renaissance masterpiece. We welcome you with the traditional hospitality of the Umbrian people. Come, be our guest
