Following the success of their luxury farm stay destination Il Fontanaro the owners have transformed a rural farmhouse 'Sunflower Springs' nearby into a haven of rural relaxation with laid back luxe apartments, a stunning infinity pool, and a handy location within walking distance of Pacino village.
Where Umbria and Tuscany blur together in a landscape of rolling hills, vivid sunflower fields and glowing sunsets, Sunflower Springs is as quintessentially Italian as they come. A far cry from the busy urban streets of home, parents will find it impossible not to give into their tranquil new surroundings, whiling away the days poolside soaking up the views or relaxing with a glass of chilled local wine, taking in the sunset from their private terrace. For those still struggling to truly relax the owner can arrange a visiting spa therapist to offer poolside treats or in cottage treatments so even the most pent-up new parents can truly indulge and unwind.
