Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting hamlet of Doglio, in the heart of Umbria, Italy, Podere Le Corone is a remarkable vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside. Perched on one of the most scenic hills overlooking Todi and Monte Castello di Vibio, this extraordinary estate has been a silent witness to centuries of local tradition since 1601. The property was acquired by its current owners in 1994, who have dedicated themselves to preserving the magic and authenticity of this exceptional place. The complex develops around a central outdoor courtyard and comprises a main house and 2 annexes, all restored with meticulous attention to original details, using materials and shades inspired by the Umbrian countryside to create a rustic yet deeply welcoming atmosphere. Surrounded by a vast 22-hectare estate dominated by an ancient olive grove of 6,600 trees, the property offers an extraordinary sense of seclusion and natural harmony. A beautiful panoramic swimming pool, a generous yard dotted with centuries-old olive trees, tall trees, fruit trees, jasmines, lavenders, and roses complete the outdoor setting. Guests benefit from high-speed Internet WiFi throughout the property, as well as ample parking facilities including 4 covered spaces under a shed and 6 uncovered spaces, accessible through an automatic iron gate at the end of an internal avenue bordered by olive trees. An EV Charging Station is also available on the property for electric vehicle owners.
