About us

We are Sylvia and William, the new owners of Polmone Turismo Verde.

In our previous lives we both worked in the ever-hectic aviation industry. By a twist of fate we ended up here and after a year we are still 'landing'.
Polmone is a magical place, as anyone who has ever been there will agree. It is located on a hill and all around you look into the valley where cows graze and wild boars regularly pass by. You feel like you are in a paradise, the tranquility of the surroundings descends on you and you cannot help but go along with that tranquility. Each of the four apartments is warmly decorated and welcomes you with a homely atmosphere. A perfect base for...nothing at all! But that would be unfair for Umbria, also called the green lung of Italy. This province begs to be discovered, begs to be tasted. Umbrian cuisine is simple but elegant and very tasty, just like its wines. Its cities are compact, down-to-earth and welcoming. In Umbria you don't feel like a tourist but a guest.

What are you looking for in your vacation

Whatever you want to do on your holiday in Italy, a place where you feel at home is very important. Polmone is such a place. A wonderful base for a brisk walk, city trip or a visit to your new favorite restaurant. Or, as many guests do, stay here and relax by the pool with a good book. Polmone will make you forget all the stress and will remain in your memory as that beautiful place where you didn't have to do anything and where you could relax. That's certainly how we experienced Polmone during our frequent visits, and the chance to continue our lives here was like a lottery ticket for us!

A place to catch your breath

We want others to experience this feeling too. Polmone is a place where many people have come to themselves. Where you can start to give a different direction to your life, as happened to us. An authentic place where you can and can be yourself!

Casual hospitality

At Polmone you experience casual hospitality. And if there are enough guests, we will fire up the wood oven to let you taste the now famous Polmone pizza.

Do you want this too? At the bottom of this page you can see if there is still an apartment available for you.

A sustainable holiday destination

Polmone is not just a nice place in the middle of a hill, it is also a place that is largely self-sufficient. There are 34 solar panels on the roof and there is a heat pump. Solar water heaters help with hot shower water and delicious drinking water comes from a private well that is 128 meters deep under the house.
The latest installation is a Wallbox Copper SB 3-phase charging station with which we can also facilitate guests with an electric car. In this way, Polmone tries to leave a CO2 footprint that is as small as possible.

Living in the rhythm of nature

Even in the low season, when we are still busy, mainly alone, we can thoroughly enjoy the small and large things in and around our house. Waking up in the morning with mist in the valley from the rain shower the day before. The busy buzz of many bees visiting the small yellow flowers that open especially for them in the morning hours. A curious fox walking across the still wet lawn and the chirping of many birds announcing the day. In the evening the ever-changing sunset and the beautiful white Chianina cows that sometimes graze around Polmone for weeks and then change their lawn for a while. And at night there is an extremely clear starry sky where you can even see various star nebulae with the naked eye.
