La Segreta Farmhouse In Italy: 21st-century Modernity Meets Old World Charm

A little over ten years ago Eileen Holland and Lorenzo De Monaco launched La Segreta, a new venture set on a 70-acre nature preserve in the heart of Umbria. They started by restoring the rustic stone borgo that was already on the property. Theye invited their family, friends and clients to use the rental estate while exploring the region. Recently, they reinvented an historic farmhouse – a sophisticated mix of modern and traditional with every conceivable convenience – that was also on the property. Today, the La Segreta brand includes two luxury properties, a line of cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and hand-blended red wine (created from the grapes grown on our land). This is La Segreta – the secret heart of Italy.

Whether watching the sun set over the Tiber River Valley, sharing a meal in the rustic kitchen or relaxing by the fireplace after touring nearby hilltop towns, the ground floor is ideal for sharing time with family and friends.
