Paola emerges from the kitchen. Would we like tea, coffee, a glass of wine? I would like to say this is just like visiting friends, but how many of us have friends with infinity pools in immaculate Mediterranean gardens, or views that leave you breathless? Paola and Stefano Zocchi spent 2 years restoring the ruined “little palace” they bought in 2004.

The interiors are traditional and beautifully furnished. Outside, there is a shaded terrace, lawns, olives, roses, and the Umbrian landscape – the Tevere Valley, Perugia, Todi – is stretched out before you.
