Location : Orvieto / Umbria / Italy
Borgo Santa Maria is a vacation resort achieved through a skilled and accurate restoration of four rural houses in Umbrian style built in stone and brick in the past centuries. Look website www.borgosantamaria.it Today, after the restoration and renovation of the complex into nine apartments, each apartment has been given a name evoking its function in the past.The fascination of the old rural house can be felt upon entering the houses, whose walls are characterized by warm and mellow colors which create a special atmosphere. The ceilings preserve the original wooden beams and terracotta tiles. The atmosphere of the living rooms, with their terracotta floors, old brick fireplaces and old restored furniture, is warm and inviting. The kitchens have built-in cabinets decorated with ceramic tiles. The interior doors, as in the old rural tradition, have iron latches in place of the more modern handles. The furnishings are completed by colored curtains, which give an unusual light, and by framed pictures and hanging crafts, which will catch your attention. In addition to the details of the old tradition, the structure offers many modern comforts such as: appliances, a safe, double-pane windows, satellite TV, and decentralized heating. The resort is about 800 m. from the town of Santa Maria, where you can find a supermarket, newspapers, a pharmacy, pizzeria and restaurants.
