“The goal is to restore the rustic, authentic charm while combining it with modern comfort: this way guests can experience the slow, sweet life in the Umbrian countryside.”

“With a charm that is more polished than precious, Borgo della Marmotta is a 17th-century stone hamlet in the foothills near Spoleto, offering the allure of country living with the services of a high-end resort.”

“Villa della Genga and Borgo della Marmotta aren’t out of this world: they sit at the edge of the noise, yet just minutes from Spoleto. During the Festival dei Due Mondi, they are a perfect refuge for those who wish to alternate theatre, dance and music with moments of quiet, of introspection.”

“Borgo della Marmotta Farm Resort, a otto chilometri da Spoleto, con case coloniche che risalgono al XIII secolo e tante attività, dai bike tour al castello di Poreta ai trekking fino a Spoleto.”

“Farm resort with restaurant, spa, yoga room, and a park with a pool. Oil tastings are complemented by cooking classes and truffle hunts.”

“In the main house there’s a wonderfully cosy lounge and lovely breakfast room with beamed ceilings and intricate stonework, while outside a vine-clad pergola leads to the pool, and the 12,000 olive trees that surround the property.”

“The hamlet’s origins date back to the Middle Ages and a careful restoration set out to keep every detail alive, so much so that the ancient rural function of this hamlet is still clearly legible.”

“Original terracotta floors, exposed-beam ceilings, large stone fireplaces and walls in milky white and cream tones are the preserved elements of the traditional architecture, in harmony with classic furnishings highlighted by vintage pieces and prints by contemporary artists.”

“Villa della Genga and Borgo della Marmotta are two examples of integration between agriculture, tourism and culture. Choose the rooms at Villa della Genga, Pope Leo XII’s favourite hunting lodge. Excellent pitted extra virgin olive oil.”

“There’s no flash and pomp here; instead, expect a simple spin on luxury: rustic cobblestoned passages leading to charming rooms and pockets of lush garden, pots of lemon trees casting shadows on the terrace and vibrant bunches of wisteria hanging from pergolas.”

“This venerable 370-acre estate, in the family since 1673, lies in a landscape of tranquillity. Approach through olive groves and wash up in the hamlet of Poreta. This is a resort of the classiest kind.”

“Best organic extra virgin olive oil 2017: Villa della Genga (Umbria).”
