Casa Rosa Assisi

CASA ROSA is a traditional stone farmhouse set high in the green hills of Umbria, some 10 km (6 miles) Northeast of Assisi. The house is divided into self catering apartments – one large holiday apartment occupying the whole of the first floor of the original farmhouse, two smaller apartments sharing the ground floor, a small cottage in the converted stables, a two bedroom apartment and a studio apartment in a new extension. Each apartment is completely self-contained, with its own kitchen and bathroom, and its own balcony or terrace. All the apartments are simply but comfortably furnished, beautifully decorated, and have full central heating. There is a spectacular swimming pool, shared by the apartments, it is located a little way above the house in a marvellously tranquil position with panoramic views over the national park. The pool is bordered along one side by lavender, local herbs and a large cherry tree; on the other side is a wide terrace paved in local stone with sun-beds and deck chairs for lounging and sunbathing, here there is also a barbecue and gazebo. Around the house is a small farm of 18 hectares (44 acres) – roughly one third cultivated, one third pasture, and one third wooded with planted trees.
