OVERVIEW

Built into a hillside and surrounded by olive groves, this contemporary stone villa was designed to fit into its natural setting and has the latest environmentally friendly technology. It has a very private location but is only a 10 minute drive to the lovely village of Passignano sul Trasimeno.

All on one level, the villa’s layout accentuates its position above the lake and boasts expansive windows and soaring vistas throughout. It has a minimalistic decor, with stylish contemporary furniture and touches of modern art. The open-plan living, dining room and kitchen have direct access outdoors, promoting fluid indoor and outdoor living. The large space has a comfortable sofa, armchairs, a fireplace, and a Smart TV. The kitchen revolves around a huge island and is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances. All in a row to benefit from the views, the three bedrooms have a modern elegant decor, large ensuite bathrooms, and wall-to-ceiling windows.

Guests can choose between several outdoor living spaces, including the pool area with its heated saltwater infinity pool with a baja shelf and whirlpool seats, a sitting and dining area next to the villa, and a rooftop terrace with a fire pit, ideal at sunset when the panorama over the lake is particularly breathtaking.

On easy outings from the villa, you can take boat rides and do watersports on the lake, partake in wine tasting, and wander through the alluring villages in this authentic lesser-visited area of Italy.

Things to do
  • Umbria has an enormous variety and number of traditional feasts throughout the year. The local communities treat these events as an opportunity to confirm their roots and identity and it is a wonderful opportunity for tourists to experience genuine expressions of Umbrian culture and folklore.
  • In Perugia, be sure to see the frescoes by local artist Pietro Perugino in the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria and in the town hall’s Sala del Cambio. Step back to ancient times at the Etruscan arch and Etruscan well. Enjoy the lively atmosphere at the large fountain, the Fontana Maggiore. Sample the chocolates named for the city. Perugia plays host to international visitors with its acclaimed annual Umbria Jazz Festival, held each July. A wildly popular chocolate festival every October pays homage to the city’s sweet side. Perugina Chocolate Factory and Museum in Perugia: Any chocolate lover can take a trip to the nearby Perugina factory and visit the museum and take a guided tour of the factory. Free entry.
  • In Assisi, you’ll want to visit the famous basilica dedicated to Italy’s patron saint, Francis. Frescoes by Giotto vividly tell the story of St. Francis’s life. In the Piazza del Comune you’ll find a church inserted into the remains of the ancient Temple of Minerva. Above town stands the Rocca Maggiore, a fortress that protected citizens during attacks. For a dose of nature and spiritual contemplation, walk to the hermitage, the Eremo dell Carceri.
  • In Todi you’ll find all the main sights conveniently concentrated onto the Gothic Piazza del Popolo, which is itself set over top of an ancient Roman cistern system. Below town is the striking Renaissance church of Santa Maria della Consolazione.
  • Gubbio is known for its palio, the Corsa dei Ceri, a spectacular run held every year on May 15, in which three teams run through throngs of cheering supporters up much of the mountain from the main square in front of the Palazzo dei Consoli to the basilica of S. Ubaldo, each team carrying a statue of their saint. Gubbio is so perfect, it looks like a medieval movie set. The main monuments and sightseeings of the city include the Roman Theatre which is still in use for performances, the massive Palazzo dei Consoli, the duomo and the Palazzo Ducale. Gubbio’s Roman theatre is a dramatic setting for summertime, open-air performances.
  • In Spoleto, visit the Roman theater and the archeological museum for a view of ancient Umbria. Go see the pre-Renaissance frescoes by Fra Lippo Lippi and Pinturicchio. The church of San Salvatore is one of Italy’s oldest and is set within the remains of an ancient Roman temple. Spoleto offers up culture, dramatic performances and musical concerts during the Festival dei Due Mondi.
  • In Orvieto, don’t miss the fanciful Gothic Duomo, which soars seven stories high. Inside are magnificently vibrant and graphic frescoes of the Apocalypse by Luca Signorelli.
  • For children: Maridiana is a farm that breeds Alpacas, angora goats and selected sheep, situated in Tiber Valley approximately 10 minutes from Umbertide.
  • Citta Della Domenica Park: A wonderful zoo / adventure land on the outskirts of Perugia. It features both domestic and wild animals, various play areas and a train. It is a lovely day out for the family with young children. www.cittadelladomenica.com
