The neighbourhood and surroundings (See on Google Maps)
The medieval hamlet of Lugnano in Teverina is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Italy. Situated in the Province of Terni in southern Umbria, some hundred kilometres from Rome, Lugnano in Teverina is not far from the art towns of Todi, Spoleto, and Orvieto.
At an altitude of 450 m, the hamlet sits on the slopes of the Tibre Valley amid forests and olive groves.
A magnificent 13th-century collegiate church stands inside the village walls. The Convent of San Francesco was constructed at the foot of Lugnano in Teverina, at the site of the miracle of St. Francis. San Francesco, one of the first Franciscan convents, was built in 1228 and later restored in the 1970/80s.
Il Contrafforte is one of four apartments in the Convent of San Francesco that are available through Loc’appart. The monks' cells were converted into apartments and fitted with all the modern comforts, though great care has been taken to conserve their original charm.
The convent is surrounded by a large garden with a pool and a tennis court, and affords a beautiful view of the surrounding hills.
The apartment
Il Contrafforte is a large, open, and bright apartment on two floors that covers an area of 80 m².
The front door of the apartment leads into a big kitchen, whose shuttered window looks out onto the garden. The kitchen is fully equipped: gas burners, microwave oven, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, sideboard, and a number of kitchen cupboards.
On the same floor, the living room/dining room has a fireplace, chairs, and long table with benches. There are two windows that look out onto the garden and a ceiling fan with variable speeds.
The first bedroom is quite spacious and is furnished with a double bed, window (with a view of the garden), fireplace, and closet. It also has a ceiling fan.

From the living room, a wooden staircase leads to the second floor where there are two additional bedrooms, a sitting room, and a bathroom.

The third bedroom (also with a sloping ceiling) has two stowaway beds that are perfect for the kids, and a window that overlooks the garden.
