Description
4 bedroom stone villa, artistically restored, with original Italian period features & modern amenities. Beautiful private pool set in landscaped gardens- breathtaking views all over the hills and the valley. The local town (with supermarket, restaurants, bars and twice weekly market) is km away & you are close to Perugia, Assisi, Florence, Gubbio, Sienna etc
The house is all yours for your stay. 4 bedrooms, comprising two doubles with ensuite bathrooms, one normal double and one twin. There is one additional large family bathroom in travertine marble with bath/shower. Two of the bedrooms have walk in wardrobes.
The kitchen is very well equipped so that keen cooks can make the most of the local produce. It has an oven, dishwasher, hobs, kettle, fridge, freezer, Nespresso machine, Magimix etc. The large, secluded swimming pool is for your sole use, as are all the grounds. The lovely garden has many different areas for enjoying the sun or shade. At night you can turn off all the lights and enjoy the vast expanse of starry skies. There are several different terraces, two of which are al fresco dining areas so you can choose where to have your meals or sundowners. There's a large BBQ too.
Private parking space right next to the house.
We also are well equipped for babies, with two cots, a high chair, changing mat etc. There is WIFI and TV (but no TV service at the moment) and a DVD player, or bring your cables and plug in an ipad etc. There's a stereo system and CD player through which you can also play your Ipod.
We have a lovely helpful housekeeper (who's also a professional chef) who can cook for you or even teach you some classic Italian dishes. We have a gardener/general manager who is just 5 minutes' away to look after any of your needs.
The views, the food, the people, the weather- life is truly beautiful in the Italian countryside. If you can manage to tear yourselves away from the house, garden and pool then we are ideally situated to enjoy the traditions and delights of both Tuscany and Umbria. There are the treasures of Perugia, Florence, Assisi, Sienna, Gubbio etc. or you could watch the hustle and bustle of market days in one of our more local towns, while enjoying a cappuccino in one of the many cafes. For the more active, there are the beaches and boats of Lake Trasimeno, you could canoe on the River Tiber, or head off for a walk in the surrounding hills.
Perugia is the nearest airport- a 25 min drive away. Otherwise, Bologna, Ancona, Rome and Pisa are all around 2 hours away. There are several main train stations within 30-45 min and a small local one 15 minutes away.
