There is an elegant and wonderfully-unfussy atmosphere running throughout La Spighetta, which is entirely fitting in this simple and rustic Umbrian setting. A colour scheme of muted greys and cream set the tone and balance the contemporary stainless-steel kitchen and fabulous marble bathroom, which has a walk-in shower and claw-footed bath. Outside, there are plenty of shady and sunny spots to eat, relax with a good book and sun loungers surrounding the pool. The infinity swimming pool, which sits perched on the hillside is surrounded by a stone terrace on two sides and nothing but the threshold to the immense rolling countryside on the others.
