Casa Winther is a modern villa in Umbria for guests who want to combine peace, nature and Italian food culture. Set in the countryside near Castel Ritaldi, the villa is surrounded by rolling hills, olive groves and wide views of the Umbrian landscape. It is an ideal place for families and groups of friends looking for a private villa with pool and memorable culinary experiences.

The house is owned by a Danish family and combines contemporary architecture with a calm Scandinavian sense of style. Bright interiors, natural materials and carefully selected design pieces, including Vitra chairs and Artemide lighting, create a relaxed and elegant atmosphere. From the rooms, terraces, garden and pool area, guests enjoy wide 360-degree views over the Umbrian hills, with the Apennine mountains visible to the east.

A stay at Casa Winther is not only about the house itself, but also about sharing good food and special moments together. On request, guests can enjoy a private chef dinner at the villa. Tiziana or Thomas prepare dinner directly at Casa Winther, with menus arranged according to the guests’ wishes. Dishes may include pasta, risotto, lasagne, meat, fish, vegetables, truffles, desserts or barbecue. It is a relaxed way to enjoy an evening at the villa without shopping, cooking or organising anything.

The cooking classes at Casa Winther are another highlight. Together with Tiziana or Thomas, guests can learn how to prepare dishes from the Umbrian and Italian culinary tradition. Handmade pasta, local specialities, sweets and cakes can all be part of the experience. The cooking class is suitable for adults, families and groups of friends, turning a holiday day into a shared experience of cooking, tasting and eating together.

Further food-related experiences can also be arranged. One of them is a truffle hunt with dogs, as Umbria is one of Italy’s important truffle regions, especially for black truffles. The experience can be combined with a typical lunch including a truffle dish, wine and water. Wine lovers can also visit nearby Montefalco, famous for Sagrantino and Rosso di Montefalco wines.

The large private swimming pool measures 14 x 7 metres and includes a shallow children’s area of 4 x 4 metres. The pool area is fenced, making the villa particularly suitable for families with younger children. The pool is heated in an environmentally friendly way through a solar system, which can gently increase the water temperature in sunny weather. The pool is usually open from early April until the end of October.

The spacious garden surrounding the villa offers plenty of room for relaxing, reading, playing and dining outdoors. A sauna with views of the countryside is also available. Facilities include WiFi, Apple TV, Bluetooth speakers, flat-screen televisions, a Nespresso coffee machine, washing machine, dryer, two fireplaces, a wood-burning stove, two barbecues and a table tennis table. Thanks to its architecture and design, Casa Winther is also part of the Urlaubsarchitektur community.

Besides cooking and food experiences, other activities can be arranged on request, including horse riding near Trevi, a Vespa picnic in the Umbrian hills, rafting on the Nera River and private transfers to restaurants, wineries and airports.

The village of Castel Ritaldi is about 4 km away and offers a bar, restaurant and grocery store. Spoleto, known for the Festival dei Due Mondi, is around 15 km from the villa. Assisi, Perugia, Orvieto and Rome can also be visited on day trips.

Casa Winther is a modern villa in Umbria with pool, perfect for guests who value privacy, panoramic views and authentic Italian cooking experiences.
