It feels like you are miles from anywhere, and yet Perugia is only 20 minutes away. When you approach La Terra del Nomade you realise how superb the location is – a tranquil and beautiful setting in which to unwind and recuperate from today's busy life. From a quiet country road you turn up a short 'strada bianca' winding uphill to the property, which has 360 degree views of rolling hills and fields, dotted with the occasional farmhouse. Once the home of Umbrian farmers, the buildings have been sympathetically renovated to conserve some of the original architectural elements while reinterpreting others in a more contemporary flavour.

La Terra del Nomade means the 'Land of the Nomad' which at first seems to be a contradiction given that a nomad by definition travels without attachment to any particular place. But the owner, a musician and artist, wants to provide a place where one is able to stop and rest along one's journey – to serve as a respite for mind, body and soul.

The property consists of the original farmhouse (parts dating back to the 15th century), now organised into three separate apartments, plus two outbuildings providing detached accommodation. A large (14 x 6 metre) swimming pool is located conveniently in the centre of the buildings, surrounded by 150 square metres of stone paved patio with chairs and loungers, mostly in the sun but there is also a covered area. The swimming pool has an unusual earth coloured coating which helps to integrate it well with the rural surroundings.
