A farmhouse nestled among gardens and olive trees

Nestled high in the luxurious Umbrian hills, overlooking the valley of Assisi and the surrounding hills between the Chiasco and the Tiber rivers sits the isolated, sprawling La Montagnola Estate. Built at the turn of the 20th century, the Caprareccia is a sandstone traditional country house where you can enjoy a breath-taking view of the Umbrian valley. The farmhouse is divided in two spacious separate apartments, the Blue and the Green apartment. Nestled among gardens and olive trees, both apartments have their own gazebo for outdoor dining and barbecues where you may catch a glimpse of colorful pheasants roaming through the garden as the sun begins to set. A few steps from the house, there is a swimming pool to enjoy those beautiful summer days. Follow the traditional country road lined with old pine trees and ascend the stairs lined with flowers to a lovely porch at the main entrance of this classic farmhouse which has been divided into totally independent apartments that feature personal entrances on opposite sides of the building. Both the apartments take their name from Cultivar of olive trees. Outside the house, enjoy wandering through the pristinely groomed garden which extends to the ancient olive groves and a woodland area. Just a few steps from the house, feel free to relax in the 38 X 16 ft. swimming pool with fellow guests. We offer a gourmet cooking class where you can unlock the secrets of traditional Italian cooking. Join us for a three hour interactive course in La Montagnola’s master kitchen where you will prepare home-made gnocchi with tomato sauce that melts in your mouth as well as the crispy and delicious “Torta al Testo”. These staples of Umbrian cuisine are just a few of the delightful dishes you will prepare and enjoy as part of this entertaining class. Don’t miss it!
