COLONICA

Colonica offers three comfortable appartments that have been restored in traditional Umbrian style:
Barbacane, Bertesca and Torre Colombara:

Barbacane

Sleeps 4 guests (plus 1 as necessary). This 56m2 apartment is simple and well-appointed internally, and also offers plenty of outdoor space. Two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor with antique wooden floors offer spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. These are complemented perfectly by the ground floor with its pretty kitchen, lovely bathroom and a relaxation area. The kitchen gives onto a pergola-covered external area which is ideal for meals and for enjoying the large, peaceful garden.

Bertesca

Depending on their needs, guests can opt to use either part or all of this pretty 88m2 apartment, which sleeps 4. Partial use includes access to the two ground floor bedrooms, one with antique bunk beds, both of which have access to the garden, and which are connected via a vestibule to the bathroom. Full use combines these rooms with the kitchen, old stables, an external portico and a stone barbecue in front of the apartment.

The Colonica once housed no less than 5 families plus a small grocery shop for the inhabitants of Calcina Alta. In the 1500s the Torre Colombara was built on the site of what was probably an ancient Etruscan tomb, and the stables were then added at ground level for the “vaccine e la somara” (cattle and donkey), on top of which was built a kitchen in typical Umbrian style, with a large fireplace, and which led directly to the bedroom. Building work continued until as late as the 1900s, adding further stables, wine cellars, storage, bedrooms and kitchens.

This smallholding is closed in antique style, the stone walls seemingly rising from the depths of the valley to keep watch over the house and its garden. An external portico offers shade and welcome respite from the heat of August, while two beautiful pergole and a further portico offer direct access from the appartments to the garden.
