Description

The Hamlet


Found in the heart of Italy in the Umbrian hills, near the Tuscan boarder, Prato di Sotto is a lovingly restored 14th century hamlet offering a range of boutique accommodation filled with comfort and style. It is Italian tradition with a touch of English charm. Where modern style meets traditional materials and kick-of-your-shoes comfort. 
Dating back to the 14th century, Prato di Sotto began its life as an olive mill before being lovingly restored over the past forty years. Sitting serenely on colle di Montecorona, Prato di Sotto enjoys uninterrupted views onto the valley below and across to Monte Acuto.
We want our guests to feel at home during their stay with us. Each house is designed with the guest in mind. The kitchens are fully equipped for self catering to facilitate the dining experience of your choice. However you wish to enjoy the Italian food and wine, rest assured that when you turn in for the night, you will sleep soundly in our top of the range beds and linen. Our 15 meter infinity edge pool provides a welcome break during the warmer days. And lastly, despite wanting to escape away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, we recognise that sometimes you just need to check in - the wifi provides a strong and reliable connection for streaming and video calls.




Casa Antica, sleeps 8


Casa Antica (the ancient house) is the largest of the houses and occupies the top two floors of the largest building in the hamlet. It is suited perfectly for entertaining and large groups and has four spacious bedrooms with large kitchen and living space. With four bedrooms, it sleeps eight with king and super king beds. With this house you have the option of converting the super king bed into singles, depending on your individual needs. The living area is open plan and spacious and entertaining can be enjoyed inside or on the terrace outside. The kitchen has both a hob and oven and a fridge/freezer. There is a ceramic Kamado Egg BBQ on the terrace which backs onto the central courtyard.


La Terrazza, sleeps 4


La Terrazza (the terrace) is aptly named thanks to the large expanse of terrace that the property enjoys, overlooking the valley below. It occupies the ground floor and sits below Casa Antica, boasting tall ceilings and the original architectural features. With two bedrooms, this house sleeps four with the option of a king and two singles or a king and a super king, depending on your individual needs. The living area is open plan and spacious and entertaining can be enjoyed inside or on the terrace. The kitchen has both a hob and oven and a fridge/freezer. There is a ceramic Kamado Egg BBQ on the terrace. The grape and wisteria covered pergola provide welcome shade during the warmer days.


Il Molino, sleeps 2


Il Molino (the mill) is our smallest offering in the Hamlet and was the original olive mill, (the old millstone now rests outside La Terrazza). It is a charming studio with an open plan living area and an en-suite bathroom. It overlooks the hamlet’s central courtyard and has its own private terrace. This house sleeps two with a king sized bed. The kitchen has both a hob and oven and a fridge/freezer. The décor takes inspiration from the buildings history, the olive with fresh green hue’s integrated into the interior colour palette.

La Capana, sleeps 2


La Capana is the smallest building but in our opinion equally as charming. It sits at the top of the property overlooking the other houses and out onto the hills. It’s setting is private and the interior spread across two floors with a private terrace. La Capana sleeps two with a king sized canopy bed. The living space is area plan and spacious and entertaining can be enjoyed inside or on the terrace outside. The kitchen has both a hob and oven and a fridge/freezer. There is a ceramic Kamado Egg BBQ on the terrace. Its exterior and pergola are adorned with roses which inspired the red and pink décor inside.
