Description

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE (CIR CODE: 043052-BeB-00004). Immersed in the green territory of the Colfiorito plateau, Villa Cappelletti is an elegant villa nestled in a small borgo between Umbria and Marche. This old villa dates back to 1600 and the relationship between it and the rest of the borgo, which developed around the villa, serving it and the noble family who resided there, is immediately evident. The chapel of the borgo, the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, is at the back of the villa and attached to it. After the 1997 earthquake that shook Umbria and Marche, the villa was rebuilt and restored down to the smallest detail, enhancing its original architectural character. The rooms are spacious and welcoming, furnished in Art Nouveau style. The renovation undertaken by the owners has been very accurate and has preserved the original value and charm of the villa. The splendid panorama over the Colfiorito plateau, with its meadows, woods and cultivated fields, the absolute quiet of this pristine valley, the elegant rooms, allow guests to spend a relaxing period in contact with nature, in a domestic environment, pampered by the comforts of the house and the surrounding park. A beautiful infinity pool with comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas, a gazebo with lounge area, a bar corner, a hammock and fountains from where water flows directly from the mountain spring: everything has been designed for a holiday of relaxation and contact with nature, for guests to feel part of a family environment. The property is located about 5 km from the Colfiorito shopping centre, with restaurants, bars, supermarket, post office and bank, and about 4 km from the SS77 highway Val di Chienti where you can easily reach the main art cities and attractions of the regions of Umbria and Marche.
