Villa Lucina

43.3480° N, 12.3300° E · Umbria, Italy

Villa Lucina sits on more than twenty acres of olive groves and woodland below the medieval village of Montone. It is a warm, lived-in house rather than a showpiece: a bookshelf-lined sitting room, a big kitchen, four bedrooms and a little tower room at the top with a view in every direction. The pool is edged with lavender and old olive trees, and Montone's restaurants and summer festival are five minutes away.
