_{The award-winning film Enchanted April inspired the owners to rent a villa in Italy in the mid-1990s. Not only did they fall in love with Umbria, but after a year of searching, they immediately fell for the magical setting of Villa Santa Caterina.} 

_{“I felt I was on top of the world; I knew this was my corner of heaven.”
Marie Lerner, Owner of Villa Santa Caterina}

_{Villa Santa Caterina was the first property in the valley to complete restorations. The owners worked closely with a surveyor born and raised in the area to preserve the original character of the stone farmhouse and its outbuildings. Missing elements were sourced from similar properties of the same period.}

_{The owners travelled throughout Umbria and Italy to acquire the beautiful collection of antiques and furniture for Villa Santa Caterina. Guests can appreciate the artisan quality of the furnishings, from the painted chests from Val Gardena to the delicate crocheted bedspreads from Sicily and the elegant lamp shades from the Island of Burano.}
