A ground floor self contained apartment in a rural setting, 3 k from delightful Spello, 20 mins from Assisi, 40 min from Perugia. Ideal for four people, with disabled person access and amenities, plus some gym equipment. We are Andrew, from the UK, teaching at a university in Rome, and Elena, a teacher in a high school nearby. Four kids, and lots of four legged animals, many of which have been adopted. These include, six sheep, peacocks, ducks and chickens, and Lola the donkey. I am a beekeeper, so there are bees too (not too near!). Nearby Spello is a well-preserved, authentic medieval town with Roman walls, the Baglioni Chapel and the famous Infiorate (flower petal festival). Assisi is a UNESCO world heritage site, and a must (particulally in 2026 as it is 800 years St Francis' passing). We can prepare an itinerary for you, with tips of places to visit, restaurants and so forth, and even offer lifts as one of us has to be here for the animals (our completely separate apartment is on the top two floors), so if we can arrange, you could avoid renting a car. A trip to the summit of Monte Subasio with it's wonderful views and wild horses, is a treat. Perugia airport (Ryanair flights from London Stansted) is about 20 mins away. Or, from Rome Fiumicino, 3 hours.

Comments: We have a family farm, mostly made up of adopted four-legged friends, I am a beekeeper. We have a ground floor independent apartment with two double bedrooms.
Comments: For any further details, let me know. I will load/send more photos
Comments: We can offer Airport pick up and lifts.
Helping out with feeding the sheep or with the olives if you like, but not a condition during your stay.
We have 20 acres, 300 olive trees, so not quite a garden so to speak.
Comments: If you'd like to give us a hand with feeding the animals, harvesting the olives (beginning of November, 2026), or mucking out the sheep, that would be much appreciated!

Comments: I am from the UK, Elena and I are teachers, me in a Uni in Rome. This will be our first experience of an exchange. Elena and the children haven't experienced London at Christmas, and to visit 'nonno' in Oxted. I will be available for transport too.
