The garden is large and the guests have private spaces to relax and enjoy candle-light dinners. The Internet point is under an old linden tree in the main courtyard: it is actually an Internet tree!

The view from the garden is wonderful and full of peace. Barbecue and complete outdoor furniture available. As we love animals, your pets are welcome!
Care for environment:
At Villa Aureli we try to preserve the environment and to offer our guests a stay consistent with the ecosystem. When the villa and the garden were made some centuries ago, there where no electricity nor gas, and chemical fertilizers did not exist. Both were therefore built in order to minimize
energy needs. The thick walls isolate the rooms from cold in winter and from heat in summer. The water pipes collecting rain from the roofs and leading it to the orangerie, to the fountain and to the water tank of the vegetable garden used to collect water for the garden without energy consumption. Modern life needs extra energy, so we provided to install a system of photovoltaic solar panels that covers the needs of all the apartments, including air-conditioning in Adolfo’s House, where the walls are not as thick as in the Villa.
We offer our guests meals prepared using the natural products of our farm, following the traditions of Umbrian cookery.
