ARCA orizzonte

ARCA orizzonte | A Modern Design Escape in the Heart of Umbria

Discover the Art of Slow Living.

Perched on a serene hillside in Cerquiglino, ARCA orizzonte is a bespoke architectural sanctuary designed by Ark-Shelter. The villa’s silver-grey patina harmonizes beautifully with the ancient olive groves of Gualdo Cattaneo, offering a sophisticated retreat for those seeking peace, and privacy.

The Space:

Minimalist Soul: Floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundaries between the sleek interior and the rolling Umbrian landscape.

Organic Luxury: Experience the warmth of natural wood paired with modern amenities, creating a "shelter" that feels both protective and infinitely open.

The Terrace: Your private front-row seat to the golden hour, overlooking the "Green Heart of Italy."

Explore the Surroundings:

Beyond the quiet hills of Cerquiglino, ARCA orizzonte is perfectly positioned to explore the timeless beauty of Umbria:

- Bevagna & Spello: Wander through flower-lined medieval alleys and Roman ruins in Italy’s most beautiful "borghi."

- Montefalco: Sip the world-renowned Sagrantino wine in the "Balcony of Umbria."

- Todi & Assisi: Immerse yourself in the spiritual and architectural history of these majestic hilltop cities.

- Design & Wine: Visit the nearby Castelbuono winery, a modern sculpture in the vineyard that mirrors the architectural spirit of your stay.

Paradise for gravel cyclists

Umbria offers a rugged and greener alternative to Tuscany, replacing the iconic rolling hills and white roads with forests and mountain trails. While Tuscany is known for its classic elegance and open panoramas, Umbria provides a quieter, more authentic experience with steeper climbs and untouched nature. It is the ideal destination for gravel cyclists who love the Italian atmosphere but seek more physical challenge away from the crowds.
