Holiday apartments with a garden and a pool, in an idyllic location surrounded by nature with a panoramic view

Greppo is a house in a beautiful location on a hill at 450 metres above sea level, near Rotecastello in Umbria, between Todi, Orvieto and Perugia. The house is surrounded by about 20 hectares of land with olive trees and offers a beautiful panoramic view.

The old stone house was carefully restored and three inviting apartments and one annex were created. The annex is a guest house exclusively for one of the apartments. All the apartments have their own heating with methane gas, household appliances, fully-equipped kitchens, bedlinen and hand towels, crockery, cutlery and glasses. The interiors and the furnishings have been selected to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay. The apartments are near each other but are completely independent. They can be rented individually or all together, providing ideal options for larger families or groups.

There is a swimming pool on site for all guests. It measures 14 x 7m and has a maximum depth of 1.80m and a minimum depth of 1m. It is open from June to mid-September, depending on the weather. There is also a SPA, with whirlpool, sauna and hammam, it's open all year round. A large garden is also available.

Rotecastello is a medieval gem with a watchtower. It is easy to get to it and the surrounding hills, valleys and other small medieval villages, away from mass tourism.

"Casa Greppo" is a beautiful farmhouse nestled in the hills at 450 m above sea level, near San Venanzo, in the more traditional and lesser-known Umbria, between Todi, Orvieto and Perugia.

The "Podere Greppo" farmhouse stands on a 20-hectare property surrounded by olive groves, arable land and woods in a dominant position offering a magnificent panorama. In the foreground is Rotecastello, a medieval jewel with its watchtower, all around hills, valleys, colourful fields and many other small medieval villages absolutely off the classic tourist routes.

For example, Civitella dei Conti (2.5 km), a tiny village perched on a hill that preserves the remains of a fortress, other small, pretty villages such as Collelungo (4.5 km), Poggio Aquilone (5 km), which also offers the possibility of a walk along the Fersinone stream, Montecastello di Vibio (10 km), a small jewel, not surprisingly the permanent summer residence of international art stages and home to the Teatro della Concordia, the smallest active public theatre in the world!
Nearby, it is possible to visit Todi and the Tiber River Park. Other nature reserves can be found on Lake Trasimeno and on the Colfiorito plain. Many other suggestions can be found at the offices of the local Pro Loco in San Venanzo or on the 'Monte Peglia e Selva di Meana' website. The local Volcanological Museum and the San Venanzo Park are worth a visit.

If you want to explore more, you can reach and visit Tuscany in a day trip, e.g. Arezzo, which is 100 km away, or Rome, which can also be reached by train from Orvieto; this also makes Il Greppo an ideal starting point for visiting the most fascinating towns in central Italy.
To the delight of your children, you can easily visit Città della Domenica, a splendid park designed for children, which houses, among other things, a famous reptile house.
Life in the surrounding area, observable from its panoramic position above the valleys and small villages, seems to flow at a quiet and meditative pace, but if you decide to go there, you will soon discover that there is actually a lot of life there; throughout the year, various 'activities related to culture, traditions and tourism' follow one another and often overlap: meetings of international scope such as, among the best known, the Spoleto Festival, the International Festival of Todi, the Festival delle Nazioni in Città di Castello, Umbria Jazz;Folk festivals with concerts, fairs and dance music, highlighting the variety of Umbrian cuisine, with tastings of wild boar and game dishes, truffles, cured meats and grilled meats of all kinds, and then performances of Umbrian traditions with historical re-enactments and costumed processions, and market exhibitions that periodically fill the historic centres of almost all the towns in the region, such as Perugia, Arezzo, Todi and Spoleto. Further information can be found on the IAPT Ufficio Turismo Umbria website.
