Le Crete
Clients have already fallen in love with the classic rural beauty of the landscape around the town of Orvieto, and many of them have returned time after time to the lovely La Cassetta We are very happy that the owners of this well-established favourite have now offered us La Crete built in the same local style of La Cassetta, but there the resemblance ends!
Within the traditional farmhouse walls, the owners have created a house that is completely in tune with today. The customary architecture of thick stone walls, wooden ceilings, and brick arches remains reassuringly intact, but there is a more modern, lighter touch with colour and decoration.
With pale wood floors and 42" plasma TV, the sitting room extends for the full length of the villa and some prints of Rome ibn in the entrance hall add a classical touch.
The kitchen is spectacular - an air-conditioned ultra modern glased-in room of breathtaking Italian design, a dream work space for any keen cook!
All bedrooms have excellent en suite facilities. On the first floor there is a ery spacious double bedroom and twin bedroom with three further self-contained bedrooms in the guest annexe.
The layout of the garden contributes greatly to the suitability of this property as a family holiday villa – the lawns are flat and descend gently to the beautiful long pool – equipped with a jet current and electric cover to retain the heat of the day.
Set into a gently sloping hillside, the villa commands pleasing views over the gentle countryside – the perfect backdrop to outdoor meals and relaxation on the vine covered terrace.
With bedrooms in the main house and a further three in the separately accessed annexe, this house is ideal for parties wishing for 'separate but together' accommodation, families with older children or a luxurious base for a family.
The house exudes just the right amount of quiet charm to make it very hard to leave when the holiday is over.

Food Hamper
Can be arranged for an additional cost payable locally. For guests who are arriving late or who recognize they may be delayed and arrive with no time to do shopping. Shops are shut on Sundays, so the aim of the Food Hampers is to provide two light meals and two breakfasts, to allow guests to go out for one meal, then do more shopping on Monday.
