Podere le Corone 14

Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of Umbria, Podere Le Corone is an extraordinary vacation rental set in Doglio, a charming medieval hamlet just 5 km from Monte Castello di Vibio, Italy. Perched on one of the most scenic hills overlooking the Tiber river valley, this magnificent estate is embraced by a vast 22-hectare property dominated by an ancient olive grove of 6,600 trees, where centuries of tradition and natural beauty converge in perfect harmony. The complex has been lovingly restored by its current owners since 1994, preserving every original detail of its ancient stone architecture while offering all the comforts expected of a refined country retreat. The property develops around a central outdoor courtyard and comprises a main house and 2 annexes, all finished with materials and tones inspired by the Umbrian countryside, resulting in a rustic yet deeply welcoming atmosphere. Guests have access to a stunning panoramic swimming pool, a generous yard dotted with tall trees, fruit trees, jasmines, lavenders, roses and potted blooms, and a wide range of outdoor spaces designed for relaxation and convivial dining. Reliable internet Wi-Fi connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Parking is generously provided, with 4 covered spaces under a shed and 6 additional uncovered spaces accessible through an automatic iron gate at the end of an internal avenue bordered by olive trees. For guests traveling with electric vehicles, an EV charging station is available on the property, offering a convenient and sustainable option for recharging.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Podere Le Corone are among its most captivating features, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, privacy, and al fresco living. The panoramic swimming pool is positioned at the rear of the property, approximately 20 metres from the main house, set on a lower terrace and reached via a staircase with wooden steps. The non-heated pool measures an impressive 12x6 metres, with a minimum depth of 1.50 m and a maximum of 2 m. Its tub features a stone edge with an internal PVC coating and 3 internal steps along one side. The purification system is chlorinated, and the pool is equipped with internal spotlights and a cold water shower. A wide stone-paved solarium surrounds the pool perimeter, furnished with sun loungers, deckchairs, and umbrellas, all shaded by centuries-old olive trees that ensure a tranquil and restful atmosphere. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October, and the open views of the surrounding countryside promise breathtaking sunsets throughout the season. Directly accessible from the kitchen and dining room, a very large porch shelters an outdoor dining area furnished with chairs and tables, complete with a mobile barbecue and a mushroom stove for cooler evenings. The central courtyard is furnished with a table and chairs and serves as the natural heart of the property, while various benches are placed throughout the grounds to invite quiet contemplation. The farmyard, where wheat was once threshed by hand under the sun, has been transformed into a convivial outdoor space equipped with tables, chairs, and umbrellas. A wood oven is also available among the outdoor cooking facilities, making the exterior of Podere Le Corone as functional as it is beautiful.
