The recent renovations have further distinguished the property by conferring upon its exterior a distinctive fortress style, a building technique rooted in the Middle Ages, while the integration of solar panels and a photovoltaic system reflects a deep commitment to environmental responsibility.

The outdoor spaces of Tenuta Bellafonte are as impressive as the interiors, offering a variety of environments designed for relaxation, dining, and enjoyment of the surrounding natural beauty. The fenced garden, approximately 1,500 square metres in size, is a luxuriant tapestry of many types of flowers alternating with well-kept lawn areas that wrap around the house in every direction.

Additional porticos accessible from the living room provide 2 further furnished relaxation areas where guests can unwind in complete tranquillity. On the first floor, positioned between the pool annex and the sleeping area, a large panoramic terrace furnished with sofas, armchairs, tables, and sunbeds offers an ideal vantage point for enjoying an apéritif while taking in the spectacular views of Monte Subasio and the vine-covered hills, particularly at sunset.

This exterior pool area, partly paved and partly lawn, is equipped with comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas. For added convenience, the annex includes a bathroom with shower and a small kitchenette.

The dedicated Emma Villas customer service contact for this property is Alessandra Masci, reachable for any emergencies or further information required during the stay.

The surrounding landscape opens onto breathtaking panoramic views of the Umbrian hills and the Tiber valley, placing San Rocco in one of the most scenically privileged positions in the region.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of San Rocco are nothing short of extraordinary, designed to invite you to spend long, leisurely hours in the open air while soaking in the spectacular Umbrian panorama. The centrepiece of the garden is the superb private swimming pool, a non-heated rectangular pool measuring 10 by 5 metres with a constant depth of 1.60 metres. Lined in PVC and equipped with internal lighting, salt purification, and 4 Roman steps for easy water access, the pool occupies a privileged panoramic position overlooking the surrounding green hills and the charming hilltop town of Montecchio. The adjacent solarium area on the lawn is furnished with sunbeds, deck chairs, a cold shower, and an umbrella to provide welcome shade during the hottest hours of the day. Please note that the swimming pool is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday in October. Extending over 2 terraces, the green lawn is punctuated by colourful flower beds interspersed with trees, a vegetable garden, and carefully maintained hedges, creating a rich and varied natural landscape. The portico adjoining the house serves as a magnificent outdoor living space, equipped with a large table, chairs, benches, a wood oven, and a built-in barbecue, making it an ideal setting for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners enjoyed in the fresh air. The pool is located on the same level as the ground floor of the house and can be reached from the portico, which is approximately 7 metres away. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you will find upon arrival.
