Jardins d’Amélie is a contemporary villa designed by a leading Italian architect, built on the cyclopean walls of Amelia, just fifty metres from Porta Leone and the historic borgo. Set on 2,000 sqm of private garden — orchard, two covered wooden pergolas, an outdoor dining area with masonry barbecue, an open-air lounge facing the valley — the property unfolds across 220 sqm of interiors, with a luminous living room, an open kitchen and four ensuite bedrooms, three within the main body and one in an adjoining dependance accessed from the garden. The materials are precious and partly reclaimed; the appliances are high-end; the climate is controlled throughout. The heated 12 × 2.5 metre pool (open 15 May – 15 October) overlooks the valley below.
Amelia is a strategic base in southern Umbria: Rome is 75 km away, Orvieto and Spoleto roughly 50 km, Perugia about 95 km. Within walking distance, the borgo offers the Saturday farmers’ market in the cloister of San Francesco, the Caseificio Vitto with its warm mozzarella, the Pasticceria Russo for hot sfogliatelle, and a handful of restaurants with outdoor tables.
