Welcome

Casa Cattani provides a rare opportunity for 4-5 people to have exclusive use of a secluded historic farmhouse on the Tuscany-Umbria borders. The stone house dates back over 700 years when it formed part of the estates of the Castello di Pierle.

Surrounded by over 5 hectares of mixed oak/chestnut forest and 120 ancient olive trees, Casa Cattani enjoys superb views and total seclusion, peacefulness and privacy. But, perched within walking distance of the village of Mercatale, is close enough for you to feel part of village life. Immediately below, at the head of the rural and tranquil Niccone Valley, lie the twin villages of Lisciano Niccone and Mercatale, while the distant views extend across the forested hills of Umbria to the hilltop villages of Castel Rigone and Preggio.

Lovingly restored, Casa Cattani currently offers an ideal haven and a convenient base to explore the rich history, culture and wild landscapes of Umbria, the Marches and western Tuscany. The ancient market towns of Umbertide (Umbria) and Cortona (Tuscany) are only 30 minutes drive away, while 45 minutes drive will take you to the spectacular hilltop Etruscan city of Perugia, the Provincial capital, and the location for one of the world's premier jazz festivals (Umbria Jazz).

Casa Cattani is furnished comfortably but not antiseptically like a show home – it feels like a well-loved and comfortable family home because it is one. We want you to feel as if it were your home for a short while, and for your stay to be relaxing and memorable. We politely ask all visitors to restrict any smoking to outside.
