Il Berneto is a renovated family farmhouse in the Umbrian countryside: a rustic yet comfortable villa among the olive grove

An ancient rural setting

Il Berneto was built entirely of local sandstone as a farmhouse on the ridge of a plateau, on the ruins of the ancient Castel Brandetto: the original walls of the castle, dating back to the 11th century, are still visible in the back of the house. The property has belonged to our family since 1800, and has been loved and passed down through four generations. Recently the villa was carefully renewed to offer comforts, while still preserving the character and warmth of a rustic countryside home in a rural setting. Timeless materials, generous spaces, and thoughtful details reflect the charm of Italian country living, creating an inviting atmosphere where comfort and authenticity coexist.
