In the hills above Corciano, one of the prettiest hamlets in Umbria, amidst the green hills, the woods and the olive groves lies the tiny hamlet of La Posta di Confine. In this haven of tranquility, reached by a long white road that traces its way from the village of Mantignana through short and charming stretches of woodland, alternating with glorious views and glimpses of the natural flora and fauna of the area you are assured, when you reach your destination, of an open and quiet place in extraordinary surroundings.
The hamlet dates back to the 16th century and comprises the main farmhouse, now beautifully restored and incorporating both the owners accommodation and a stylish Bed & Breakfast with two very comfortable and meticulously detailed bedrooms. On the ground floor is a reception and here you can purchase local products including the owners homemade jams and a very delicious olive oil that is produced from the estates olive trees. On the first floor is a breakfast room with stairs to a galleried landing where you have a sitting area along with access to the two B&B bedrooms. The other half of the house is occupied by the owners, Roberta and Marco and their son Francesco.
In the garden grounds there are three beautifully appointed self catering apartments, a furnished terrace and swimming pool that takes advantage of the breath-taking views. All rooms and apartments are furnished with antiques collected by the owners from different antique markets over the years, along pottery from the different Umbrian potteries that the apartments also take their names from. Bed linens and draperies are made with Busatti fabrics, woven with looms and hand-embroidered, all of which play their part in producing a comfortable and elegant atmosphere in a pleasant and refined setting.

La Poste di Confine is a beautiful agriturismo run by Roberta and Marco near the small town of Mantignana about 2.5 hours drive from Rome. We were given the warmest of welcomes on arrival and our two week stay was nothing short of perfect. Although neither Roberta nor Marco speak much English, they made a huge effort to understand our every need. Breakfasts were always plentiful and delicious, the apartment (El Frate da Deruta)immaculately maintained, as was the swimming pool and gardens, and we enjoyed beautiful weather. The location is ideal for those wanting to explore Siena, Arezzo, Assisi and the Vale of Spoleto - all are within an hour of so of the property. Mantignana itself has a good supermarket and bakery where you can buy pizza to take home, plus a bank and a couple of small cafes. There is a nearby restaurant open in the evenings in the old part of the town. The one word of caution is that the unmade road leading to the property requires careful navigation (its very bumpy!) though our little Fiat Panda managed it fine. The house had a large and comfortable double bed and a separate single. Well equipped kitchen with gas hob but no oven or microwave. Highly recommend for couples seeking a sanctuary away from it all.
