Villa Edera

This enchanting restored hamlet with 360 views of the valley is perched on a hilltop with breath-taking views on the valleys. Surrounded by 6.5 hectares of forests, figs, and pomegranate and olive trees, it’s actually just three kilometres from a small town in the region of Perugia and incredibly close to the Tuscan boarder. The property dates back over 500 years, however it has recently been completely renovated. The entire property provides absolute peace and quiet: although it feels remote and private, the property is within easy reach of the attractive Perugia and Assisi villages of the Region and offers some unique vistas on the surrounding green hills of Umbria. The houses are filled with light while rooms have beamed ceilings and windows overlooking the park with olive groves and pomegranate trees. The interior is airy and spacious and has been decorated in a classical style.

Local Area Details - 

The area where the hamlet is situated is called the Niccone Valley, part of the Upper Tibery Valley, from the Tiber River, which runs through the entire length of the valley for fifty kilometres. The Niccone Valley is named for the stream that flows through it, spilling into the Tiber River at its eastern terminus near Umbertide. Part of the valley is in Umbria and part is in Tuscany; at either end are the Umbrian towns of Lisciano Niccone and plain Niccone, and a small section from Mercatale to La Mita is in Tuscany. The Upper Tiber Valley is the northernmost Umbrian territory. Wedged between Tuscany and the rugged mountains of the Marches, this region has a unique cultural and social character. The people of this region have been master hunters and gatherers for centuries. Wild mushroom varieties (porcini), tartufo bianco e nero (white and black truffles), cinghiale (wild boar), coniglio (rabbit) are foods typically found on kitchen tables. The Tiber River runs through the entire length of the valley and provides the valley with great fertility. Still largely farmed with tobacco, each year sees more fields turned over to produce and feed for livestock.There are eight leading towns in the region. The hill towns of Citerna, Montone, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, and Pietralunga are sleepy hamlets with magnificent views with one or two good places to eat and some memorable art in their local museums and churches. Their real attractions, however, are the vistas from each town, the joy of the winding drive up to each hilltop location and searching out a place to sample the local food and wine. Citt di Castello, Lisciano Niccone, San Giustino, and Umbertide are valley towns bustling with the energy of daily Italian culture and are the leading towns for art, culture, great restaurants.
