The Loggia house with a large fireplace in the living room extends over 3 floors with stairs. It is cosy and intimate while being part of an ancient Umbrian Borgo from 1500 with a total of 6 houses.

The accommodation has a washing machine and tumble dryer in a common room and a lovely garden to relax in. Parking is available on site and you can fire up the barbecue in a dedicated communal corner for a pleasant evening of grilled specialities. In addition, a spacious and fully equipped kitchen in the house is at your disposal.
