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.
Lo Scalone is one of four apartments in the Convent of San Francesco that are available through Loc’appart. Each apartment was converted from the monks' ancient cells and fitted with all the modern comforts, though great care has been taken to conserve its 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
Lo Scalone (25 m²) is a small but cleverly laid-out two-floor apartment.
You enter the apartment via a kitchenette that is equipped with gas burners, a fridge, and a few cupboards.
The living room is very cosy with its fireplace, small sofa (which could serve as a spare bed), coffee table and window overlooking the convent's church. A wooden staircase leads to a small landing with doors to the bedroom and bathroom.
The beautiful bedroom has a sloping ceiling and a window overlooking the church. In one part of the bedroom, the ceiling drops to a height of 1.25 m.
The bathroom has a shower, toilet, as well as a window that overlooks the church.
