Nestled high in the luxurious Umbrian hills, overlooking the valley of Assisi and the surrounding hills between the Chiasco and the Tiber rivers sits the isolated, sprawling La Montagnola Estate, surrounded in its 17th century majesty by the dark green and silver of 6,000 olive trees. This is the domain of the Borgia and Medici family—an heirdom as ancient as Italy itself. Built over the ruins of a 12-century castle that was destroyed in 1298, the estate came back to life in the late 1600s, when the Baglioni counts established La Montagnola as a hunting lodge and summer residence.

I'm Vittoria and I run this family business since 1999, when we restored the 3 farmhouses. As an host, I can offer you the experience of a local and the passion for sharing the beauty of this piece of country side in the green hearth of Italy. I spent a lot of time to take care of the apartments and we keep them clean and in a good shape. Looking forward to meeting you all soon,

The family tends to three completely restored farmhouses which guests can rent. There is the hilltop Caprareccia, with its six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, private swimming pool and 360-degree view of Assisi. Halfway down the mountain, there is La Casa della Caccia, with its studio, one and two-bedroomed apartments, swimming pool, and hill views. And next to La Casa della Caccia, sharing its swimming pool, there is Il Poggio, with its one and three-bedroomed apartments and quiet hill country views. The New York Times calls La Montagnola a “staggeringly beautiful hilltop jewel.” The Washington Post was even more effusive, in a travel piece about the estate: “If this is country living,” the Post reported, “then sign this city boy up.”
