Today it’s a model of high-end slow living, a quiet-luxe experience that’s more closely tied to the land and its history…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the Umbrian hills, thousands of private estate acres twenty minutes north of Perugia.
The rooms
Freestanding stone villas feature private gardens and swimming pools, while three deluxe rooms share a pool overlooking the Tiber Valley.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Swimming pools sit on manicured lawns against stone villas, looking out across forested Umbrian hillsides.
The baths
A heated hydromassage bath sits beneath vaulted stone ceilings, and customized massages are arranged directly in each villa.
At the table
Pergola tables look across the valley, and Ristorante Il Caldaro serves handmade pasta with estate-pressed olive oil.
How it began

The Carabba Tettamanti family painstakingly restored more than fifty stone ruins across their ancestral land, including a 13th-century water mill.
