Large Estate with Comfortable Apartments



The estate is located in the Marche region, in the central part of Italy, very near the medieval town of Cagli, between Urbino and Gubbio, and the natural park of the Gola del Furlo. It is an oasis of peace and silence in the midst of an unspoiled nature, surrounded by cornfields, sunflowers, fruit trees, an olive-garden, woodlands and beautiful winding paths that may take you for long walks. It offers a magnificent view of Monte Petrano, Monte Nerone, Monte Catria and Monte Acuto. In the old days farmers who were working the land used to live at Vellaneta.

On the ground-floor of the country house there is a very well decorated guest apartment, Le Avellane, suitable for 4 persons.

The former hay barn has been made into are three apartments, each housing four persons. Each apartment has its own style and colour and is named after its position towards the sun: Aurora, Mezzogiorno and Tramonto (respectively sunrise, midday and sunset).

Apartment Vellaneta is on the first floor of the country house.

All the guests have at their disposal a spacious, elegantly decorated salon on the ground floor, with a library, a piano, a fireplace and several cosy angles to relax or read.
