Cielo Chiaro

Cielo Chiaro

Cielo Chiaro is set in two acres of olive groves in the hills above the Niccone Valley on the Umbrian/Tuscan border.

The house is in a cluster of three with half a wall shared with an Italian neighbour.

The area is rural and tranquil and the people are open, warm and welcoming to strangers. Popularly known as Tuscany's gentler sister, Umbria is a magical mix of charming and historical hill towns, breathtaking scenery and a unique concentration of artistic and architectural riches unrivalled in the rest of Italy.

The food is a combination of the sophistication of the North and the more rustic simplicity of the South. Orvicto Secco is the most famous export, subtle in character and unassuming in nature; a wine of renown for centuries.

Bookings are accepted for any time of year. Places like Siena and Assisi are always busy but many, charming villages remain gloriously empty out of season.

The Accommodation

The villa has three double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, one with a balcony overlooking the Niccone Valley.

The kitchen is equipped with a fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave, a dishwasher and a hob and oven. There are plenty of glasses, pots etc.

Water, gas and electricity are included in the rental charge. The house will be cleaned for your arrival and linen and towels provided.

Outdoors

The house is surrounded by mature trees, ideal for summer shade. The views are delightful.

The thirty-eight feet swimming pool is perched on one of the terraces in the olive grove so that you can enjoy the panorama. It is located about 100 metres from the house.

There are areas to lounge in and other quiet spots to relax. You are free to wander in the hills around.

There are opportunities to play tennis and go horse riding.
