Villa Bianconi is a remote old farmhouse situated in the midst of olive groves, woods and unspoiled nature and embedded in the green hills of Umbria.The origins of the building date back to the 14th century, when it was used as an observation tower due to its unique panorama. In the course of time the building underwent various constructional changes and in recent years the adjoining cottage was built. This cottage is for hire. Pictures of the interior and the site.
The closest village, Castellione, lies 2 km away, thus lending the Villa the unusual quality of total peace and calm. It is an island amidst the bustle of everyday life, a place where you can relax and forget about everything.
Yet for those who are also wish to enjoy the flair, activities and culture of the towns in the region, only 25 km away, the university town of Perugia has a great deal to offer. One highlight there each year is the Umbria Jazz Festival, where world-renowned artists perform. Other towns – such as Assisi, Spello, Foligno, Gubbio or Spoleto – can also easily be reached from Villa Bianconi. And even a day-trip to Rome (150 km away) is possible by car or bus.
