About this property

Private, Exclusive, Lake View, Large Private Pool. Private Landscaped Gardens

Nestling in the Umbrian Hills close to the Tuscany border and Lake Trasimeno, stands this comfortable farmhouse. The house is a short drive to Cortona, a magical hillside town.
The large swimming pool (6x12 m) is the focal point of the extensive, professionally landscaped gardens. Surrounded by lavender, roses, flowering sage, rosemary, conifers, olive trees, the house has views to the mountains, the lake and the town.
This former farmhouse is made of traditional stone, and expertly renovated by Italian artisans. Internally the walls are a mixture of old brick, rock and white walls. The furniture consists of comfortable beds, large sofas and antique tables.
Activities in the local area include horse riding, walking, sailing, The area is also steeped in historical interest Etruscan tombs, Hannibal legends, Medieval hilltop towns.
The ground floor is for rent, the top floor is used for our family holidays, and shall not be occupied during your stay. This is totally private, and you shall be the only guests


Exclusivity, your own pool 12x6m shady terraces (3) and amazing vistas of the lake and town The wisteria and jasmine covered terrace downstairs, provides welcome shade from the mid-day sun, whilst looking out to the pool. The new pergola at the end of the pool provides shade between dips. Flowering sage, lavender, olive trees, all provide a backdrop for this beautiful location.
Cortona is a 15 minute drive away, with it's cobbled streets, huge cathedral, specialist shops, many Tuscan restaurants selling authentic Tuscan food, and the delicious gelateria's selling their home made ice cream.
This house is available for rent from Spring to Autumn.
There are many attractions in the summer, Trasimeno Blues, Umbria Jazz, and many events (free) in the Piazza. There is also a Friday Market 8-1pm.


Sitting in the Piazza drinking cappuchino in the morning, or prosecco in the evening is one of life's little pleasures.
Regardless of whether this is a romantic break, or a family holiday, there is something for everyone, the children can play in the piazza whilst eating home made gelati. Whilst the adults plan their evening meal.

This area caters for all. Whether you are an opera, antique, chocolate, food, history or culture fan then all of these are available. WIne and olive oil are also grown and sold in this area. An example of local wine is Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

What's on?: The calendar for this area is amazing, from antique shows, weekly markets, chocolate festivals, jazz festivals, blues festivals, and in addition opera, and other classical music extravaganzas, this area is never dull.

An itinerary would, perhaps include, breakfast on the terraces, a visit to Sienna, Assisi, Cortona or Passignano, and home for lunch and a siesta by the pool. Aperitvo at the Piazza and then an evening at a local restaurant sampling from the amazing menus of local foods.

The central location of this house, means that all of the great centres are within easy travelling distance by train or car.

There are also outlet stores for Gucci and all the other major Italian Brands at Valdarno, and Valdichiana for slightly closer outlet shopping experience.

Specialist delicatessens can be found at all major towns, from Tuoro, Passignano, Cortona and Castiglione del Lago to name the most local.

Mooie vakantie!
We hebben zeer genoten van onze vakantie in Italië en het verblijf in de villa. Alles voldeed aan de verwachtingen. Het huis is voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt en goed schoon. Het grootste pluspunt van het huis was voor ons het zwembad, we hebben hier veel plezier gehad met elkaar. Het enige minpuntje is de toegangsweg. Er zijn veel bezienswaardigheden in de omgeving die makkelijk te bereiken zijn. Voor ons was Assisi het hoogtepunt. De communicatie met de eigenaar (Susan) en de beheerder ter plekke (Katarina) verliep zeer vlot. Bedankt voor een heerlijke vakantie!

A piece of paradise in the Umbrian hills!
We spent a wonderful week enjoying the peace and beauty of the Umbrian countryside from the comfort of Susan's beautiful home above Lake Trasimeno. The weather was warm for mid-September, and we refreshed ourselves in the pool most afternoons. The house is pleasant and comfortable, but it is the expansive gardens, outside seating areas, and incredible views that made the experience truly exceptional. Susan was friendly and responsive throughout the booking and rental process. I hope to return someday!

Een prachtweek
Het huis was alles wat we er van verwacht hadden en meer, ook de tuin en het fantastisch zwembad. Alles is aanwezig, inclusief welkomstpakket met brood, beleg, fruit en Prosecco. Vlotte communicatie met de lokale host. Als er al een minpunt is dan is dat de toegangsweg, doenbaar met de wagen maar niet ideaal voor motoren( 700m steil gravelpad). Er is geen airco maar de dikke muren houden het lekker koel binnen. In de stadjes rond het meer kan je lekker eten en drinken. Er is een overvloed aan Engelse boeken en brochures om de streek te leren kennen voorzien.

Rustic, peaceful, Central
Great place to stay if you want to spend a week gazing at a view, swimming in a big pool all to yourself and visiting sites of Tuscany and Umbria. Very nice indeed.

Zwei Wochen im Paradies
Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht. Alles ist unkompliziert und freundlich. Der Garten und die Aussicht sind unbeschreiblich schön, der Pool perfekt. Etwas außerhalb auf einem Hügel gelegen, aber die Zufahrt ist gut machbar und durch das Dorf in Sichtweite fühlt man sich auch nicht abgeschieden. Viele tolle Orte in weniger als einer Stunde erreichbar - z.B. Assisi, Perugia, Arezzo (hat uns am besten gefallen) , Cortona und natürlich die hübschen Orte am See (filmreife Sonnenuntergänge auf der Seeterrasse im Restaurant Lido in Passigiano) und die Isola Maggiore. Auch ein Tagesausflug nach Rom war dabei, geht auch mit dem Zug, aber mit dem Auto ist es flexibler, Fahrzeit ca. 2 Stunden. Ich hoffe, dass sich nicht eines von den niedlichen Katzenkindern, die auf dem weitläufigen Gelände leben, in die Koffer unserer Kinder verirrt hat. Thank you, Susan, for a wonderful time in Italy!

About the host

Hosted by Susan

Host profile image
We are a family of 5, three girls, my husband and I. We used this house for our family holiday home, the girls had the downstairs (rental unit) when they were teenagers, and needed to emerge later in the day.The downstairs is cool in summer, due to the enormously thick walls. We like relaxed living, and hopefully we have managed to embody this in the home in Italy. We are happy to answer any questions.

Why they chose this property

When we were looking for a property to buy in Italy, we wanted good transport links, some culture, local facilities. When we approached the house the sun was shining on the ochre walls, and we knew we wanted to buy this property. We have completed sympathetic renovations, but the biggest works were the gardens and pool. We love Italy, and there is plenty to do, also doing nothing is so easy. The restaurants are fabulous, and relatively inexpensive. the wine is world class. There are various festivals all summer, trasimeno blues is the one we love. also perugia jazz for those who love open air, and free music. A train ride to Rome, is an experience, as is car ride to the coast. The locals are warm, friendly and helpful.

What makes this property unique

We rent the downstairs of our house, when we, and nobody else, is there. The house stands alone but not isolated, it has an amazing view of the lake and the woods, but is a slow 15 minute walk into town, or a couple of minutes by car, The town has a good selection of shops and at the same time has a few incredible restaurants. this is a perfect hideaway, listen to birdsong, and a perfect place for active kids, who want to make noise.
