Description
The property accommodates a total of eight people with six in the main house and two in a small detached cottage alongside which has its own bathroom and kitchen. The Main House has all the original features you would expect of an ancient Italian farm house ~ vaulted ceilings, terracotta floors, beams, and a big open fire place. Set back from the house by some five metres is a separate little single storied Cottage providing independent accommodation for two people. It has been cleverly designed to provide a double bed, small kitchenette and a bathroom with shower, loo and sink. This Cottage is ideal for those in a family or group seeking a degree of independence. It is for the exclusive use of whoever rents the main house and will not be rented to anybody else at the same time.

Gubbio is a really great Umbrian/Roman town with a mass of things, other than just frescoes, to see. Take the cable car to the top of Monte Ingino and visit the Basilica di Sant’Ubaldo. Whilst here discover how Saint Ubaldo lost three of his fingers! Come in May and experience the Corsa dei Ceri that makes the Palio at Siena look like a tea party. Come in May as well and watch the Palio della Balestra ~ the crossbow archery competition. Make sure you see the Eugubine Marbles, the mummified remains of local saints in the Duomo, the Botte dei Canonici ~ the largest wine barrel ever made, the Porte delle Morte (doors of death), the skeletal remains of the wolf that shook hands with Saint Francis (yes Francis came here as well) and finally ensure you obtain a “patente a matto†~ a licence of madness from having walked around the Fontanna del Matti. There are in fact some superb frescoes and stained glass windows in the church of San Francesco as well! Cafes, lovely restaurants and some great shops abound in the town, so if culture is not your thing then just enjoy the good life of modern Italy instead.

French windows from this room lead out onto the terrace at the front of the house. The kitchen at the other end of the ground floor is fully equipped with double sink, gas stove, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and a breakfast table. The marble worktops provide plenty of space for culinary experts. At the back of the kitchen a door leads into a utility room with a washing machine, shower, basin and loo. An external door from this utility room out to the side of the house makes it suitable for use from the swimming pool as well as providing a downstairs cloakroom. A stone terracotta tiled staircase leads to the first floor of the house and a large landing. There is a full length French window on the landing which looks out over the front garden and the pool.

Note's on exterior
:
One of the great features of Colbiancale is the lovely covered terrace that runs along the full length of the house. This terrace is within a few metres of the swimming pool and the tiled roof creates a lovely shaded area in which to relax and dine. Al fresco meals here provide the very stuff and memories of that dream Italian holiday. The swimming pool is conveniently positioned directly in front of the house. There are stylish teak sun loungers and umbrellas. There is a lovely spacious 2 acre garden that surrounds the property with olive and fruit trees which makes it a haven for children to play in and explore. From all parts of the garden there are magical unspoilt views of green fields and mountains and fabulous country walks that lead directly into the surrounding nature reserve.

Notes
:
You really are the heart of cultural Italy here. There are a mass of things to see and do within just one hours drive of Colbiancale. The towns of Gubbio, Assisi, Perugia, Citta di Castello, Spello, Spoleto, Todi and the wine centres of Torgiano and Montefalco, to name just a few of the delightful attractions are all a short drive away. Siena, Firenze and Roma are also both easily accessible as well. Lago Trasimeno, which is the largest lake in the Italian peninsula, is just a short drive away with lots of things to do on and around the lake and ferries to the islands as well.
One of the pleasures of this part of Italy is the occurrence of village festas that celebrate purely local traditions and historic events. There is often very little publicity about these events as they are designed to cater for the local villagers who will of course know about them anyway! You are very likely to stumble upon travelling opera, musical concerts and innumerable gastronomic extravaganzas which will amaze and delight you! On the other hand there are a number of world famous venues and events for which Colbiancale is ideally located for visiting.
