The 1.5 hectare garden surrounding Villa Leone extends over several terraces of Etruscan origin that follow the natural slope of the land, embellished with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees and a very large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs located just a few metres from the first floor entrance. In front of the large openable windows on the ground floor are two areas for outdoor dining, equipped with umbrellas, tables and chairs with adjacent built-in barbecue and a convenient sink. On the first floor is a small outdoor living area, shaded by a pergola, with sofa and coffee table and a breathtaking view towards the tuff cliff and the Fortezza Albornoz of Orvieto. The perfect place, therefore, to enjoy a good glass of local wine in pleasant company. The 3-car parking area is located between the automatic gate and the entrance to the villa.

The rectangular swimming pool occupies a terrace located at a lower level than the house, in an extremely secluded position overlooking the expanses of woodland that surround the property. About 25 m from the house, it is reached down a flight of 21 steps. The pool, obtained from a historic agricultural fountain, measuring 3.5 x 5.5 m with a constant depth of 1.20 m, has chlorine purification, a metal ladder for access to the water and is lined with grey osmotic cement so as to confer a more natural aspect on the pool, with a border of grey stone: the typical “basaltina di Bagnoregio” while the solarium area is paved in terracotta. There is both internal and external lighting and the solarium is equipped with sunbeds, deck chairs, umbrella and a solar shower. A spring runs near the pool and the sound of the flowing water provides a pleasant relaxing effect. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday of October.

The two floors of Villa Leone are connected internally via a particular glass staircase but both have access from the garden as well.

The main entrance on the ground floor leads to a spacious open-plan living room, bathroom with hydromassage tub, dining room and kitchen with large openable windows giving direct access out to the two terraces, both set up as outdoor dining areas. The ground floor is completed by the 16th century dovecote tower used as a study, by the laundry room and by a double bedroom (with queensize bed) and a small hallway leading to the ensuite bathroom with shower.

Up 20 steps from the main entrance on the upper floor of the tower is a double bedroom (with queensize bed) with ensuite bathroom with shower. Facing the bedroom is an exit out to the garden with a delightful equipped pergola beside it. The house is equipped with underfloor heating while the bedrooms and the living room have air conditioning.
