Il Nido

A holiday cottage in Umbria - the green heart of Italy

Il Nido is a holiday cottage and part of our Podere (small farm) in Valle Pulcini. We are surrounded by the quiet and peaceful Italian countryside, and there are no noisy motorways or railways sidings hidden behind the hill. Our guests come here to relax, to walk, to paint, to listen to music and read as well as some gentle sightseeing in Orvieto, Citta della Pieve and other historic Italian towns and cities nearby. Some are relieved to be able to catch their breath during European tours centred on busy, expensive cities. Here they breathe fresh air, gaze at mountains and discover the joys of little Italian villages and the delights of meeting country people and seeing how they live. We introduce them to local food, our own olive oil, the wine of our friends, and the local knowledge that gives their stay with us its special pleasure.
