Immerged in the beautiful and peaceful Umbrian countryside stay magnificently Le Macee, a stunning farmhouse dated back to the late 17th century.
The house went through two restorations, the first done during the 70s and the second a few years ago by the current owners. The restorations were undertaken taking into account the uniqueness of the building and therefore a conservative architectural approach allowed the preservation of the original atmosphere of ancient terracotta floors and beamed ceilings typical of the traditional Umbrian countryside houses.
A sense of warmth and comfort was added by the modern facilities that the house got after those projects of restoration and refurbishment.
