Borgo di Pianciano

Simplicity Italian style is never just plain simple. It is usually simple and beautiful and the Casa Roccia, Casa dellÁrco, and Casa del Cipresso, located within the Borgo di Pianciano estate is a case in point.

The Borgo is part of the estate which has been in the hands of the Bachetoni family since 1911 and also happens to be one of the leading olive tree farms in the whole of Umbria. Located 11 km away from beautiful Spoleto, the Borgo is surrounded by a totally unspoiled Umbrian landscape. There are literally thousands of olive trees around it – over 18,000 at the last count - as well as wild fauna, such as boars and pheasants. The three houses available for guests fit in perfectly into this typical central Italian ambiance and beauty, what with their stone walls both wonderful from the outside and inside and the shaded terraces being a must in the summer, whilst the swimming pool is close to the three houses.  

The houses are not just stones and mortar, though. They are also a way of life and here you can buy olive oil, meat and search for truffles when in season. Please note: the houses can be rented all year long on a weekly basis. The Casa della Roccia and Casa del Cipresso take 6 people and larger Casa dell Arco takes 8.
