Larco sits on the soft green hills above Piegaro, Italy, reworked by Special Italy – Special Umbria as a compact yet open country house. The two-bedroom retreat keeps the bones of a 16th century farmhouse while leaning into 21st century comfort, from heated pool to covered terrace. Guests move between cotto floors, resin surfaces and wide garden views that anchor daily life in the Umbrian landscape.
Podere Sirolo sits just outside Città della Pieve, Italy, a country house conceived by Special Italy – Special Umbria as a calm base in the Umbrian hills. The team replaces an old farmhouse with a new rural retreat that leans into natural materials, soft color and an easy connection to the landscape. Guests step into a villa for eight where comfort, handmade craft and long views set the rhythm of each day.
La Marea sits among the rolling fields of Magliano in Toscana, Italy, a contemporary country house shaped by Special Italy – Special Umbria.

Inside, the studio layers warm textures, generous furniture, and vivid color so long days drift easily between interior rooms and outdoor terraces.
