It stands on the ridge of a high hill, sheltered by the shade of pine trees and a great oak. From here your gaze roams freely over the Umbrian countryside: fields, woods, hills that change colour through the day, sunsets to the west and, on the clearest nights, a sky full of stars.
Ours is a secluded home, yet close to everything that makes this part of Umbria special: Gubbio, Umbertide, Perugia, Assisi, Città di Castello, the walking trails, the markets, the villages and those lesser-known places that often stay with you longer than the most famous sights.
We lived here for many years, season after season. Summers and family days went by here, unforgettable moments that are part of our story.
When we decided to restore it, we did so to make it more welcoming and ready to be shared, without losing the character it already had.
That is why the house brings together our grandmothers’ furniture, objects found with patience, carefully restored details, traces of the past that still sit well alongside the present. This, for us, is the charm of the house: a balance of care, memory and taste.
We remain deeply attached to this house and to the land around it. If you wish, we’ll be happy to suggest walks, villages, places to see, experiences to enjoy and the small spots we love. Always with the discretion that, for us, is part of hospitality.
On arrival you’ll find a welcome basket of seasonal produce, chosen from small local farms. What’s inside changes through the year, following whatever the countryside around us has to offer at that moment.
In winter the house welcomes you with cosy rooms and warm materials, while in summer windows on different sides of the house encourage natural ventilation, letting in the air and the breath of the hills.
Dimora Campaola invites you to slow down, to look outside, to spend time together, to take your time: that’s why you won’t find a television in our apartments.
Wi-Fi, on the other hand, is available. Because Dimora Campaola is also the right place to work remotely, host a retreat, stay a few extra days and balance focus with rest.
The house has external wall insulation, solar panels, a photovoltaic system and an electric vehicle charging point. These choices improve comfort, reduce consumption and help us take care of the place in a practical way.
The reclaiming of furniture and materials comes from the same way of thinking: keeping what has value, restoring whenever possible, and choosing carefully what comes into the house.
For us, sustainability means above all this: making things last, respecting the place and continuing to live in it with care.
Tell us what you’re looking for: we’ll be happy to work out together which option best suits you, your timing and the way you’d like to experience Dimora Campaola.
