Tucked away in the rolling hills of Umbria, Tenuta di Murlo is one of Calliope Collective’s most enchanting retreats—a private estate where time slows, landscapes inspire, and every experience feels deeply rooted in place. With over a thousand hectares of untouched countryside, Tenuta di Murlo offers a rare balance of refined comfort and authentic Italian tradition. From vineyard walks and truffle hunting to candlelit dinners in centuries-old farmhouses, this three-day escape invites you to immerse yourself in the flavors, history, and natural beauty of Umbria—all from the serenity of your own villa.

Itineraries

Day 1

Morning

Enjoy breakfast with fresh estate-baked bread, local cheeses, and fruit on your terrace—overlooking the Umbrian hills. Take a gentle walk through Murlo’s ancient olive groves and cypress-lined trails.

Afternoon

Settle into the rhythm of Murlo with a guided wine tasting of the estate’s own vintages. Stroll through the vineyard and learn about their organic practices before sampling rosé, La Baccicaia, and full-bodied reds.

Evening

Dine at Il Caldaro, the estate’s atmospheric restaurant housed in a restored 14th-century farmhouse. Indulge in a menu that celebrates seasonal ingredients and Umbrian traditions. End the evening under the stars or with a fireside drink back at your villa.

Day 2

Morning

Wander the dewy Umbrian woods with skilled truffle dogs, uncovering nature’s hidden delicacies beneath the forest floor.

Afternoon

Venture out for a half-day visit to the hilltop towns of Perugia, where cobblestone streets and centuries-old churches await.

Evening

Return to Tenuta di Murlo for a private chef experience in your villa. Learn to prepare classic Umbrian dishes and enjoy a slow, elegant meal paired with wines from the region.

Day 3

Morning

Spend the morning poolside or opt for an energizing activity such as fly-fishing, horseback riding, or a round of golf at the nearby Antognolla Golf Club.

Afternoon

Explore one of Umbria’s lesser-known gems, such as the medieval town of Gubbio or the ancient Etruscan site at Orvieto. Wander through cathedrals, artisan shops, and quiet piazzas before returning to the estate.

Evening

Toast your time in Umbria with a sunset al fresco dinner on your villa terrace—complete with sweeping valley views, flickering lanterns, and the comforting stillness of the countryside.
