The accommodation is in the apartments of the farmhouse “La volpe e l’uva” , a little corner of paradise just 4 kilometers from the historic center of Perugia ( Umbria, Italy).
It is a quiet, peaceful oasis, an ideal place to relax and unwind surrounded by the Umbrian hills, valleys and medieval villages. Our property consists of 10 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and orchards.
