Tenuta di Murlo

Tenuta di Murlo is one of Umbria’s most distinctive country retreats, a private family estate where historic character, natural beauty and low-key luxury come together with ease. Set just north of Perugia, it occupies a vast stretch of countryside shaped by woodland, olive groves, lakes, streams and gentle valleys, creating a wonderfully secluded atmosphere while still offering access to hill towns and the wider Umbrian and Tuscan region. The estate’s scale and setting give it a real sense of freedom, making it ideal for guests seeking space, privacy and a slower pace of life.

Accommodation is spread across nine luxury villas, each with its own style and personality. The villas have been sensitively restored from historic rural buildings and now combine traditional stone-and-terracotta details with more contemporary comforts. Expect generous living areas, fully equipped kitchens, private terraces or gardens, and, in selected villas, private or infinity pools.

The estate is well suited to both relaxed stays and active days outdoors. There is an on-site restaurant, and the wider grounds lend themselves to country pursuits such as walking, cycling, rowing, fishing and exploring the property’s tranquil landscape. Facilities are designed to keep the atmosphere elegant but unfussy, with the emphasis firmly on nature, comfort and privacy rather than a conventional resort feel.
