THE FAMILY OWNERS...

An illustrious family own all the land, far and wide, for miles and miles. The land consists of olive groves and vineyards, hills and woods. World class beauty.

This aristocratic family goes back centuries and owns many other properties, including in central Spoleto. Typical of a bygone era, their motto is about serving others - there is nothing this family won’t do for you. They go the extra mile.

Note that the land doesn’t look after itself. It must have caretakers to “clean” and cultivate it in order to ensure it’s safe at all times. This is a country mansion, in the heart of fields, olive groves, sunflower fields and woods. Always in a hot country, surrounded by foliage and trees, we must guard against fires. However, we are in luck because the lead caretaker is a professional fire fighter! And, like all country mansions surrounded by private land, he must live on site. This is a necessary and common practice but in no way does it interfere with your privacy.

He and his wife will silently look after the gardens and clean the pool each day - usually, these tasks are completed around 6am but if you’d prefer a different time, this can be easily arranged.

They live at the back of this enormous mansion in a completely independent part of the structure, which you wouldn’t notice unless told about it. They have their own private garden etc.

The caretaker is also employed to be on call 24/7 should you have an emergency or just want to know something. Otherwise, you need have no contact with them. They have cared for this property and its surrounding land for years and are totally reliable, efficient and completely unobtrusive. They understand perfectly the requirement of privacy at all times for our guests.

Your main entrance is at the front of this impressive mansion. So you need never see the caretakers unless you wish to.

I emphasize that while you are in residence, the surrounding land, the vast gardens, the fruit orchards, the pool, the pool house, the pergolas, the shady seating areas beneath trees and bushes, the spacious aia, directly in front of the villa, designed for parties and festivals, are ALL EXCLUSIVELY yours for the duration of your stay.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION...

ADAM HOUSE is extremely spacious and some of the rooms are enormous eg the sitting room is filled with comfy, squashy lounge furniture to seat 8 to 12 persons. Here there is also a large inglenook fireplace.

It’s a very grand suite with olde worlde charm, a spacious, elegant house, a family house. And it is full of comfortable places to snuggle in with a good book and a flute of Prosecco !

2 of the 3 bathrooms in this grand suite are very spacious. Indeed, one of them has a seating area by the window. The 4th bathroom is in the Pool House.

The Pool House has a rumpus room with a table and chairs. This space has been designed specifically for children to play games and use crayoning books. It’s also another cool place where adults can get together to escape the heat of the day. Here there is also a washing machine and ironing facilities.

It would be possible for someone to sleep in the Pool house although it clearly would not offer the comfort of the mansion ! And we wouldn’t advise it. Nonetheless, it can be a “den” or “man cave” to escape to. A place where you can be totally private. Certainly, it’s a writer’s haven!
