Villa Molinazzo

Villa Molinazzo is located just twelve miles from the picture perfect town of Orvieto and is conveniently situated within daytrip distance of Montelpulciano, Pienza, Montalcino, and all of the enchanting hill towns of southern Tuscany, as well as all of Umbria. Popular destinations include Todi, Spoleto, Assisi and Perugia, but it is also possible to wander away from the beaten tourist track to explore treasures like Civita di Bagnoregio, in Lazio, or the spectacular gardens of Villa Lante, near Viterbo. On days when you don’t want to drive, you can take a train to Rome in about an hour and a half. The closest towns are Montecchio and Guardea.

Villa Molinazzo is a luxuriously restored stone farmhouse. The excellent taste of its owners is reflected throughout the house in a wonderful balance of antique furniture combined with modern conveniences, including wireless ADSL internet access and air conditioning.

Surrounded by rolling hills and olive groves, the property consists of two adjacent stone houses: the main house sleeps up to ten guests and a smaller guest house sleeps four. Various outdoor spaces include an elegantly furnished “loggia” with comfortable couches and open views over the countryside, a second outdoor living room and a pergola just off of the kitchen furnished with table and chairs for fourteen people. A few steps from the house is a panoramic swimming pool, another furnished patio and tennis court. The house is surrounded by a manicured garden of roses, lavender and other flowers.
