Villa Pavone E, Montone

Villa Pavone is in the middle of a 120-hectare agricultural farm which stretches over a verdant valley at the same height of the secure medieval hamlet of Montone, a small village which is listed as one of the most beautiful hamlets in the world.

Almost the whole land of the farm is actually pasture or range, being used to breed cattle of the famous Chianina breed. Cultivations and breeding of animals are developed with organic methods. The old countryside houses have been restored to host guests in small apartments which still keep the simple warm and cozy furnishing style of country homes.

At your arrival at the villa, you will notice a group of age-old buildings in grey stones surrounded by the verdant countryside scenery. Porticos and outdoor staircases render the façades picturesque. In front of the villa, there is a large courtyard around which the outdoor spaces available to all guests are distributed: the swimming-pool, the sun-drenched area, the gazebo, the barbecue, and the playground for kids.

You will be greeted by the kind and friendly proprietors: they will soon make you plunge into the relaxing atmosphere of a simple and tranquil vacation where you will be in contact with nature and all the activities developed in the countryside.

All around you will soon notice that the animals are kept free: a couple of some splendid peacocks and several cats, just to begin with. And there also the shelters under which cows and calves are placed, kept in outdoor areas not far from the houses so that you can easily feel in the air the perfume of stables, typical of real life in the countryside and not a trait invented by tourist tales…

An extraordinary resource of the farm is the spring of mineral water which flows not far from the house: its temperature is the same all year round, which means it comes from deep underground. During summer you will find it delightful and unique to get fresh water straight from its source!

Also in the place, it is possible to purchase products from the farm, vegetables, salamis, and homemade sweets, not mentioning the opportunity to taste super-size grilled steaks taken from the Chianina breed. Breakfast and dinner is available upon booking.

The farm is located within a natural reserve area where hunting is forbidden. Mountains bikes are available for you to visit the place and surroundings. In the farm, you will also find a lake where you can go fishing and a bocce field. You may also see all the activities which are run inside the farm, especially apiculture. As guests of the farm, you will be able to attend and have a discount on a thermal bath establishment in Umbertide, only 5 km (about 3 miles) away.

In the small reception hall of the farm, you will find all the information regarding tourist activities of the region and a socket suitable for laptops and internet connections.
