Villa Caminata

In summary

Caminata is located in one of the most exclusive private country estates in Umbria, owned by the same family for generations. Renowned for its thousands of hectares of immaculate woods and olive groves, and for its superb valleys, lakes and rivers, it is the perfect place for a relaxing and tranquil holiday, offering impressive levels of comfort and elegance.

The name “Caminata” originates from the Italian word for “chimney” and refers to a villa with many chimneys. Caminiata is a former farmstead, beautifully restored and decorated in rich, warm colours that reflect the subtle shades of the Umbrian countryside.

Surely the most spectacular element of this villa is its lush garden with more than 3,000 plants that bloom at different times of the year giving a wonderful display of colours that change with the seasons. Caminata can accommodate up to 12 guests in the main villa and in the elegant cottage close by in the gardens.

Location

To reach the villa there are 3km of white gravel road. Please note that the roads are in good conditions but occasionally steep and with little stones as all the country roads, so they are not suitable for low-height cars.

Caminata has the unique advantage of being situated in the very centre of Umbria, an area where the simple pleasures of country living embrace art, history and architecture offering wonderful food and wine in nearby towns throughout the two adjoining regions of Lazio and Tuscany. Florence and Rome are within two hours’ drive of the estate and Siena, Arezzo, Assisi, Gubbio, Todi and Orvieto are all nearby. The region’s capital city Perugia is just 20 minutes away and offers a wealth of cultural activities. Other spectacular hilltop towns include Cortona and Preggio, the latter with its annual classical music festival, as well as the annual Montone Film Festival which attracts an international audience.
