Welcome to Villa Jaja, a gorgeous 4-bedroom villa that began its life as a chapel in the lush green valleys of the Umbria, Italy.
Surrounded by rolling hills filled with mature olive groves and rugged terrain meeting the horizon, Villa Jaja embodies the Italian country lifestyle like no other; the marvelous stonework on display has been preserved and strengthened from its humble beginnings as a 14th Century chapel. The centuries-old original structure features thick walls and terracotta floors, the practicalities of which include cool respite from the summer sun and a blissfully quiet space to relax in.
Like any self-respecting property in Italy, Jaja features numerous outdoor spaces to enjoy the Umbrian countryside to the full; several patio areas are to be found within the sizeable garden area, planted with beautifully scented flowers and well-manicured shrubs and trees. Take your morning coffee down to the edge of the garden where a small furnished patio resides, surrounded by the border fence and affording a fantastic view of beautiful Italy. A stroll around the mingling sweet smells of the blooming flowers and leafy shade of the trees is almost too tempting to resist. A large stone paved terrace frames a swimming pool, the perfect remedy to keeping the heat at bay; submerge yourself in the cool waters after soaking up the sun from one of the sun loungers that border the edge of the pool.
Inside, despite the thick stone walls, a light and airy atmosphere is to be found here; lofty ceilings supported by thick, rustic wood beams span over comfortable and cozy spaces, warm and welcoming. There are no less than three living rooms spaces to lounge and relax in, so whether it’s enjoying one’s own company, or with friends and family, the choice is entirely down to you. Plush couches can be found in each lounge; the first resides where the chapel once existed, with white walls and high ceilings. The second living room contains a functioning fireplace, an ideal spot to retire in the evenings next to the merry crackling of flames in the hearth. An open-plan great room contains the third and final lounge area, complete with dining area and kitchen, as well as direct access to the terrace through the patio doors. Spacious and bright, each area of the great room enjoys large amounts of natural light and is tastefully decorated. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and is sure to cater to any culinary requirement; the dining area resides alongside, with a large dining table set for eight. Alternatively, should the idea arise to enjoy a wholly authentic al fresco experience, there are several options available, both overlooking the beautiful Umbrian landscape that unfurls before you.
Beautifully furnished bedrooms are filled with homely fittings, designed for the utmost comfort. Three of the four bedrooms are fitted with luxurious king size beds, while the remaining room contains two twin beds, and are all dressed with high quality linens that are sure to promote a restful night of sleep. All rooms are afforded their own en-suite bathrooms, two with showers and two with bathtubs, as well as individual air conditioning units to maintain a pleasant environment.
