A big family celebration in an Italian hamlet

If you’re looking for an impressive house party destination this autumn, then hire a whole Italian hamlet so that guests can sleep in their own houses, but get together for events and parties in the outbuildings, the grounds and by the pool. Borgo San Biagio is a medieval stone village on a hilltop in Umbria that has accommodation for up to 20 guests.

The hamlet was lovingly restored by its passionate Italian owner who will organise events and activities (including weddings in the former chapel), parties, cookery lessons, truffle hunting, cycling outings and visits to local historic towns.

Borgo San Biagio is available for groups of 16 from £3,153 to £6,350, and groups of 20 from £3,800 to £7,495 per week through CV Travel. Tel: 020 7401 1039.
