If you and nine of your nearest and dearest have been thinking about getting away together and are looking for a perfect fall escape, then we have a dream group vacation rental. Situated on a vineyard and a resort amongst the lush countryside of Umbria, just 7km from the beloved town of Assisi, with incredible amenities, plush interiors, lots of big old fireplaces and other gorgeous original features, Villa Assisi has all of the ingredients necessary to unwind in properly cosy autumnal style. Relax, visit the spa on site, sample local wines and other harvest delights, explore the stunning surrounding scenery and beautiful towns of Umbria, play tennis or padel on the free courts, pay for a round of golf on the resort, and generally make the most of the charms of Italy during the fall!
Villa Assisi can accommodate up to ten people comfortably in five bedrooms with five bathrooms and is located 2km (1 mile) from the town of Santa Maria Degli Angeli, 7km (5 miles) from Assisi, 22km (13 miles) from Perugia, and within day-trip distance of both Rome and Florence with the right planning. It is, therefore, a property that is not only finished to an exceptionally high standard, plush, and stylish – the perfect place to curl up with a good book and an excellent glass of wine by the fire or on the patio overlooking the vineyard and the rolling green hills – but also perfectly positioned for days of exploration and adventure during your time in Italy.
The property itself, though, will give you ample reasons not to go anywhere else at all – you’ll barely want to leave! Villa Assisi and the resort on which it is located have truly extraordinary amenities including the aforementioned golf course, tennis and padel courts, and a spa for the exclusive use of guests of the resort. This spa is the perfect place to unwind on an autumn escape boasting hot tubs, a soaking pool, sauna and steam rooms, a cold plunge, lounge areas, and more. Having easy access throughout your vacation, whenever you please is the ideal way to unwind and stay cosy and could be paired with brave fall swims in your private pool (technically closed for the season from the 15th of September but it can be opened outside these dates upon request before arrival) for a truly wholesome time. In addition, the owners offer some incredible services (at an additional fee) to further enhance your stay and your time at Villa Assisi including cooking lessons with a local, authentic Italian meals prepared for you in your villa by a professional chef, and personalised tours of the surrounding area.
Then there is the villa itself, which is a charming historic stone building that boasts spacious interiors, high ceilings, original features like exposed beam ceilings, brick arches, and big old fireplaces, and more. The interiors are tastefully decorated in gorgeous, high-quality antique furnishings with lots of careful little touches such as interesting works of art, pretty light fixtures for soft and cosy lighting throughout, and elegant gilt mirrors.
Five pretty bedrooms (all of which are en suite) provide a welcoming place to lay your head each evening in antique beds done up in plush linens. A perfectly equipped kitchen (with a dining table, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave, stove top and oven, toaster, and coffee machine) and a dining room that seats all ten guests, as well as a dining area outside all make for a perfect space to enjoy leisurely meals of harvest delights. While the spacious living room with its elegant chesterfield armchairs and sofa and roaring fireplace is the ideal place to chat late into the night and play games or to simply get stuck into a great read.
With prices starting at €384 per night, Villa Assisi is perfectly designed and set up for a dream autumn escape with some of the people you love most in Italy!
