VILLA ROSA is a 300-year-old farmhouse which has been fully restored and looks out over farmland across to the villages of Solomeo and Corciano and Perugia in the distance. It is a short walk from the village of Montemelino which is tiny but boasts an excellent, reasonably-priced restaurant. It is about 15 kilometres from Perugia and only 5 ks from the superstrada that connects Florence and Rome (we're about halfway between those cities).
This road can neither be seen nor heard from the house, but its vicinity makes VILLA
ROSA a great base for seeing Umbria and Tuscany. Montemelino is not serviced by
public transport, however, so a stay here only really works if you have wheels.
Cooking classes with a chef from "L'Osteria Il Gufo" in Perugia can be arranged on Sundays and/or Mondays. These mini-courses must be requested well in advance. A 6X12 metre salt water pool is available for the enjoyment of our guests. There are wonderful walks in the area as our property
