Villa SpinaltermineItaly, Umbria

Villa Spinaltermine is a wonderful property full of light and reached via a private road.

The grounds and gardens include sitting and eating areas and an ancient olive grove. Spinaltermine is a private estate and nature reserve that covers 2,700 acres of Umbrian countryside on the border with Tuscany. This is the green heart of Italy, a land of rolling hills, vineyards, olive groves and woods of oak and chestnut.

The villa’s interiors are furnished with a mix of antique and modern pieces that share a neutral palette. The library is accessed through French doors, and the dining room mixes a modern table and chairs, an antique urn and original stone walls with aplomb. The equipped kitchen has a beamed ceiling, industrial-style windows and a breakfast bar.

There are four bedrooms in the main house at Spinaltermine, and one in the guest house. In the main house, three of the bedrooms have double beds and ensuite bathrooms, and one has two twin beds and a bathroom. The guest house has a bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom.
