Property Summary
Nestled on a gentle hill in Pieve Caina, a hamlet within the Municipality of Marsciano, in the heart of Umbria, Italy, La Vecchia Pieve is an extraordinary vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries-old architectural heritage with refined contemporary living. This three-storey stone and brick farmhouse, dating to the late 19th century, is distinguished by its imposing walls and characteristic small windows, originally conceived to retain warmth in winter and maintain cool interiors during summer. A meticulous renovation has honoured the original structure, preserving round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams, while the owners' discerning modern sensibility has introduced warm, welcoming spaces with a minimal aesthetic. Resin flooring animates the convivial kitchen, parquet and bleached ceiling beams lend elegance to the spacious bedrooms, and stoneware finishes define the bathrooms. The property offers complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. A private yard of 4,000 square metres of partially fenced parkland, rich with oaks, cypresses, olive trees, and lavender, provides a serene natural setting. The infinity swimming pool crowns the outdoor experience, while a dedicated parking area with 2 covered and 2 uncovered spaces ensures effortless arrivals and departures. La Vecchia Pieve is an ideal retreat for those seeking privacy, relaxation, and tranquillity in one of Italy's most culturally and naturally rich regions.
Outdoors
The expansive grounds of La Vecchia Pieve extend across 4,000 square metres of partially fenced parkland, set within a stretch of hilly Umbrian countryside. The vegetation is authentically local, featuring oaks, cypresses, olive trees, lavender, box trees, and a mixed grass lawn of approximately 1,500 square metres. The surrounding landscape shifts with the seasons, with arable land and vineyards painting the hills in shades of yellow and ochre during summer, while woodland flora including wild asparagus, dog rose, butcher's broom, hawthorn, juniper, holly, bay, strawberry trees, and blackthorn complete the natural tapestry. Stone and travertine steps connect the various levels of the property, making it easy to stroll through the grounds. Past the automatic entrance gate, a short dirt and gravel drive leads to the parking area. A well-kept green lawn surrounds the section of the garden between the parking area and the ground floor of the house, extending toward the pool area.
