UMBRIA COTTAGE
UMBRIA, ITALY
UMBRIA, ITALY
Dreaming of an authentic stay in Italy? A secret gem, right in the heart of Collazzone, a characterful medieval town, Umbria Cottage is a cosy two-bedroomed find in historic Umbria. The décor is a nod to Italian design of the 70’s, with clean lines and superb attention to detail. Perched high above the Tiber River Valley and on the edge of the village, it has dreamy views over the pool of rolling hills, yet the entrance is off the bustling piazza just across from Collazzone’s medieval towers. The best of both worlds. A local pizzeria a short walk away, as well as a traditional pasta shop, a rosticceria (think succulent eggplant, roast chicken and artichokes) and a salumeria with specialties such as wild boar sausage. San Lorenzo is Collazzone’s patron saint, so the local church bears his name, as does the ancient Roman monastery in the nearby hills. Sound idyllic? It certainly ticks our boxes!
