Tenuta di Murlo
The family-owned Murlo estate offers the ultimate Umbrian countryside retreat, with seven luxury villas, a charming apartment, three deluxe rooms and a romantic cottage scattered across thousands of acres of forested hills, valleys, lakes, olive groves and vineyards.
Villas vary in size, sleeping between two and 20 people. Many are old medieval buildings beautifully restored by the family to create private sanctuaries with landscapes gardens, private pools, refined yet relaxed interiors and breathtaking views of the countryside.
Stays can be as private or social as desired, with guests free to cook in their villa’s own well-equipped kitchen, request a private chef, or dine at the estate’s acclaimed restaurant, Il Caldaro. For those who don’t want a villa, the three deluxe rooms are close to the restaurant and share a pergola-shaded terrace and 18-metre pool.
Especially appealing is that Murlo combines the privacy of a villa holiday with the services of a luxury hotel, with the concierge team on hand to arrange anything from cooking lessons and in-villa spa treatments to wine tastings, cycle tours and truffle-hunting excursions.
