Property Information
Villa Mirabella is a wonderfully secluded farmhouse with a private pool bordered by wooded hills. The views encompass over five acres of estate lands and miles of surrounding countryside. This fertile farm yields wine, olive oil, fruit and honey, products that may be purchased directly from the owner who tends to the grounds daily.
The same owner runs a butcher shop in Orvieto, a 15 minute drive away. For three generations, his family has been offering fresh quality meats including their own homemade salami, sausages and porchetta. Needless to say, the villa comes with an outdoor barbecue and a furnished gazebo by the pool where you can savor your tender grillings.
The villa is furnished in a refreshingly simple, country style. All windows have screens. A laptop computer with wireless Internet access is available at no charge. For groups of 10 or more, the adjoining wing is opened. Maid service can be requested when booking.
In addition to the owner, a country cat lazily patrols the grounds. The honeybees are kept safely locked up in their apiary, 20 yards away behind the hen house.
The three mile long road to the villa is unpaved and bumpy. Sferracavallo, the nearest town with shops and restaurants, is a five minute drive away. Nearby Castel Viscardo offers a couple of good restaurants and an imposing castle. The village is renown for its handmade bricks that pave Siena's Piazza del Campo and Rome's Colosseum.
Secluded need not mean remote. Villa Mirabella is just 15 minutes west of Orvieto and 20 minutes from the A1, an excellent location from which to explore Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio.
Ancient Orvieto, with its majestic Duomo sits high above an outcrop of volcanic tufa, honeycombed with old Etruscan tunnels. Whether seen from afar or from within, the city is magical. Orvieto Scalo, a newer settlement on the valley below, offers train service to both Florence and Rome and is home to a mysterious Etruscan necropolis. Alviano, 30 minutes away, is an oasis for migratory birds with well maintained paths for walking and bird watching. Also within easy drives are Lake Bolsena, reached in 30 minutes; Cittą della Pieve or Todi: 45; Perugia: 60. Siena, Spoleto, Assisi or Rome are all within 90 minute drives, and Florence is reached within two hours.
