Once you’ve wrenched your gaze from pool-side panoramas over the forested flanks of Monte Subasio National Park, and had your senses tickled by the sweet orchestra of lavender, Russian sage and Mediterranean herbs that assail you – strategically planted to waft their perfumes into the apartments – let wonderful hosts Ella and Alessandro welcome you to their 17-acre farm estate. Beautiful mural and decorative work embellishes these homely, colourful, bohemian interiors. Antique kettles and pots, bunches of dried herbs suspended from ceilings, well-stocked wine racks and flora ‘n’ fauna painted surrounds to mirrors and French windows, all lend themselves to a relaxed vibe, while an organic vegetable garden, and a yurt tucked away in the woods, add to the communal, convivial idyll. Treat yourselves to a meal prepared by chef Alessandro if you don’t feel like cooking. There’s WiFi if you need it but it won’t distract you from the views; lap them up from your balconied terrace. Better still, take the book of local walks provided, add a picnic, and head for the wooded hills.
What a magical place. Warm and inviting the moment my husband and I set foot onto Casa Rosa. Each morning we would enjoy our coffee from our private terrace, overlooking the most stunning views of the National Park, Mount Subasio. Casa Rosa is so peaceful and beautiful! We took many walks and saw some incredible wildlife(one of them leading to a waterfall!) In our month of Italy it's our favorite place we stayed at. The owners, Ella and Alessandro are the kindest and treated us to their local tips. It was perfect. Filled with fun, food, wine and history of Assisi. Can't wait to come back.
