Morleschio
Civitella Benazzone - Perugia - Perugia in Umbria
The villa is located in a quiet, rural area. The large village of Ponte Pattoli is just a 10-minute drive away and offers several restaurants, cafés, and a well-stocked Conad supermarket. Perugia can be reached in 25 minutes and boasts a pristine medieval centre and the fascinating underground fortress Rocca Paolina. Assisi is also close by. For those who wish to explore Tuscany, towns such as Cortona, Arezzo, Montepulciano, and Siena are within easy reach. Lake Trasimeno, Italy’s fourth largest lake, is also a lovely destination for a day trip.
The stone house is surrounded by ancient olive trees. In the garden, there is a spacious terrace with dining table and a gazebo, as well as a large pool, perfect for relaxing outdoors. The accommodation is entirely on the ground floor and easily accessible.
Inside, Morleschio has been carefully restored. Original wooden beam ceilings, exposed natural stone walls, and many cosy details create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The furnishings are comfortable and tasteful.
The upper floor is reserved for the owner’s family and is used as their holiday home. The pool may occasionally be shared with them.

Morleschio is perfectly situated for visiting the highlights of Umbria, Perugia (the mini metro from car parks off the ring road is inspired for those accessing the city centre,) Orvieto, Gubbio, Assisi, Narni and Montefalco. Alessandro is a perfect host - he provided us with names and directions to a number of local restaurants on our arrival and reserved a table for us on our first night. During our stay one of the toilets in the hose developed a leak which he had sorted very quickly. The house itself is very comfortable and with thick stone walls remained during the day and night which given the hight temperatures, high 30s, was a Godsend. The one criticism we would have is in relation to the external areas and maintenance of same. The pathway from the car parking area to the house is overgrown and full of weeds. I appreciate that we were the first rental of the season but this should have been addressed. The patio area is small and similiarly overgrown restricting views and making the access steps quite dangerous. In addition the patio furniture whilst quite new is not comfortable and would not encourgae long lingering meals. The pool is lovely - however the chairs/tables and recliners appear old and not the cleanest - would suggest they be replaced. Restuarants in the vicinity are plentiful. Villa Taticchi is a lovelyspot with very good food, and wine list, served in a garden. Osteria del Donca in Ponte Pattoli is somewhat quirky but a very good option and recommended. Braccesca Anima & Gusto is another good option for Pizza/pasta and meat - again in PP and quite close to Donca. For a more sophisticated experience II Castelllero Country House is recommended - restaurant is part of a larger complex that includes accommodation - rooms and apartments. Further afield Bosco has a number of good options - Bosco 131 is recommended (note this appears on various listing we have seen as Osteria del Bosco and has a web presence at that name. Finally for that special meal - food, wine and ambiance try La Locanda dei Golosi just outside Bosco. This property also provides accommodation. Our worst dining experience was in Trillogy - food was OK but the service was atrocious, food was delivered to incorect tables, could see it being returned to the kitchen. Its not that there were insuffient staffing levels, simply disorganised. Maybe we hit it on a bad night
