All this makes for a privileged location for anyone who appreciates the rich flora of the countryside, ancient hamlets, little churches and old ruins where one’s imagination can run riot.

You can enjoy the Villa and its surrounds in number of ways:  swimming or simply relaxing beside the pool which has a splendid view of the valley below; going for walks on the lanes and tracks nearby. And much more ...

You can go foot-trekking, undertake cycle tours or horse rides. This way, you will get to see the more hidden side of Umbria and Tuscany – one that is unusual and surprisingly inviting. 

Since the days of Arianna it is a known fact that the best paths are those that follow the ancient trails. Here you can come across Etruscan remains, Tuscan monasteries with Umbrian artefacts, flora and fauna or the bush forests of the Macchia Mediterranea. 

For this reason, you are provided on arrival with maps and information on routes and trails in this area so that you can make the most of your stay here. You will discover a different world – by the simplest and most pleasurable of means. 

There are a number of cultural events to enjoy throughout the year: religious and historical festivals as well as ancient contests and folklore. They offer a unique opportunity of learning more about the traditions of the two regions and have their roots in the Middle Ages or even earlier in the pagan rites of the Italian people. These customs are still alive and well today in the hearts of the locals and are are revived each year for their – and our – pleasure.
 
And what's more...
Within an hour’s drive at the most, you can reach leading cities of art and culture: like Perugia, Spoleto, Assisi, Gubbio, Spello, Arezzo, Cortona or Siena...And if you want to spend the evening at Villa Stampa, you can relax with a book or enjoy good conversation – around the fireside with a cosy fire burning.
