This nature house is a farmhouse villa, located on over 14 acres of private land and part of a 350-acre estate belonging to the Montauto Castle, owned since the 12th century by a family from Florence. The house dates partly from the 12th century, partly from the 18th century, and was thoroughly restored in the late '90s while maintaining its rugged and robust character. It is located in an oasis of peace at an altitude of 550 meters, so it is not too hot in the evening, and is reached via a 1300 meter dirt road. Its crazy layout makes it cozy and practical for both a small family and larger groups of people.The living area is approx 770 m2, with several large rooms downstairs that can be used for different purposes. Central is the dining room with a 6 meter long table made from a chestnut tree from the forest, at which to work or eat.

The terrace with large table in front (facing southwest) gives an indescribably beautiful and distant view of more than 180 degrees of the surroundings, with the hills of Umbria in the distance . In the evenings you can sit in the deck chairs on the lawn and enjoy the dark, clear starry sky, and the breathtaking silence that is interrupted only by animal sounds (incl. that of wolves in the valley). Next to the house is a vegetable garden of over 20 x 10 meters from which is eaten throughout the year. From the house you can walk endlessly on the surrounding estate and the adjacent property (the total nature reserve is over 1,200 hectares), with on top of the hill the castle Montauto where St. Francis of Assisi once walked to stay in the small chapel.
