Casivieri sits at the end of a valley, promising absolute privacy, in an idyllic setting of 40 acres with truly incredible views. Absolute peace and privacy is guaranteed as the villa is set well away from any road within grounds that include a truffle wood, olive groves, wild meadows, streams and a rich variety of fruit trees. Following many years of neglect the villa has been beautifully restored preserving the classic qualities of the structure, while making a superbly finished and luxurious home. If you can tear yourself away from the pool and recently completed professional tennis court, the local towns of Citta di Castello, San Sepulcro, Monterchi and Anghuiri are flush with adventures promising an unforgettable Italian experience. If that's not enough Florence, Perugia, Sienna, Assisi and the enormous Lake Trasimano are all within easy reach.


Understanding Umbria: Umbria is famous for its contrasts, stunning food, a rich tapestry of medieval towns, wonderful lake side beaches, brilliant walking and moutain climbing, couled with all the traditional images of Italy such as fields full of sun flowers and meadows awash with wold flowers. The people, not suffering too much from the influences of the cities are very welcoming and don't take an eternity to deliver your first beer after a long hot walk!

Local Help: The house is managed by 'Patrizia' and her three daughters who live just round the hill. Patrizia is a qualified walking guide and can take you on some wonderful routes through the best of Tuscany and Umbria. Her daughters are all excellent cooks who are happy to cater for lunches or dinners on request. They all speak English and are very willing to help.

The Climate: On the whole the region enjoys very comfortable weather. When is does get too hot Casivieri is situated up in the hills benefitting from the cool evening breeze.

The walls of the house are roughly four feet thick and all the windows are shuttered. On hot days the interior stays very cool allowing for pleasant uninterrupted sleep.
