Palazzo Terranova is located hidden away up a steep, winding track on the fabulous hillside of North East Umbria near the Tuscan border. An 18th century mansion remodeled into an exquisite country house with landscaped gardens, vaulted dining rooms and high-ceilinged galleries with inviting sofas and bursting bookshelves, which added to its peaceful atmosphere, stunning position, and warm inviting interiors, makes it a perfect retreat for those who appreciate the good things in life. Its bedrooms are done out in carefully chosen pastel colours, with varnished or painted ceiling beams and terracotta floor tiles. Huge wooden wardrobes and dressers, low coffee tables and chairs, secretaries and writing desks, are part of the furniture that from all over Europe has been brought to uniquely decorate each one of them. Meals are served either inside, in the warm dining room, or outside on the terrace, under a parasol or a reddening sky. The restaurant is proud of its regional, seasonal masterpieces, which include plenty of local game and vegetables, herbs and soft fruits picked straight from the garden. For relaxing, the grounds and terrace provide ample space for outdoor wandering and the less active can enjoy the large drawing room and book-lined library, the piano room and the outdoor amphitheatre.
