Additionally, each bedroom has large en-suite bathroom facilities.

La Serena features professionally-designed spacious bedrooms/suites – with private balconies or outside space.

A large dishwasher, two fridges and a freezer are available plus two ovens and a microwave oven – a washing machine is also available included in your rental fee. House cleaning is also included!

There are both indoor and outdoor dining areas that comfortably seat 14 people giving you lots of choice for sociable meal-times. A comfortable lounge area with a large TV screen, satellite TV, Blu-ray and DVD players & Wii Games Station.

La Serena is ideal for a family gathering, friends re-union or that special group get-together. La Serena has been used by companies as a professional venue for company or department meetings or a training get-away - with a large meeting room, breakout areas and equipment available.

For a relaxing self-catering holiday, La Serena is the perfect base for visiting cultural and spiritual places of interest and for immersing yourself in the rich history of the surrounding medieval cities of Perugia, Assisi, Todi and Orvieto.

The stunning Lake Trasimeno is very close-by with safe and beautiful beaches, watersports and wonderful views. Lots of interesting lake-side places to explore for children from 0-99!!

Family Stay
This property was a great location for a small family reunion. There was plenty of room and the pool and property were beautiful. The kitchen has everything you could need. And the views from the balconies are stunning.

Fantastic vacation in La Serena, Umbria
We stayed for a full week in La Serena. We were 8 adults and 6 kids. It was very comfortable and spoiling, the pool is fantastic and the rooms are very comfortable and well air-conditioned. Large and specious dining room, large and very well equipped kitchen. Excellent location in the heart of Italy, close to Perugia, Asisi, Tuscany and much more, in a beautiful spot. Only few minutes driving to local grocery stores as well as bars and other shops. Also 15 minutes from a lovely water park whichr the kids loved! Gunter and Gill were totally attentive to our needs and responded very quickly to calls and mails. Thank you Gunter and Gill, you made our family vacation great!

La Serena
Nine of us enjoyed a wonderful 2-week holiday and the property is well appointed particularly in the kitchen. This property used to operate as a cooking school/B&B, there are almost too many kitchen cupboards and too much stuff but this shouldn’t be taken as a criticism, it’s just a slight pain when looking for something specific. My criticism would be for the outside space, this is not well planned or designed. The BBQ and pizza oven are at the back with no lighting so I found myself cooking with a head torch. Once the food is cooked, it is then walked round to the front to be eaten. There is no back door straight into the kitchen. The pub table at the back is uneven and again no lighting so not an option for alfresco dining. This property is not cheap and as such it should provide better options for utilising all of the space both inside and outside. An absolute must if you visit is the old castle on the hill behind. It’s literally a 5 minute walk and you will be greeting with a small self catering hotel, a warm welcome and wonderful food. We ate there several times, once for a BBQ and another for a wine tasting with food. This place should be in the guide book of what to do in the area @La Serena

Great family vacation in Umbria
This well-maintained, spacious house is centrally located to a number of venues and activities. The estate is an excellent choice for an extended family or large group of friends. We had 13 people including 5 children and had more than enough space. The kitchen is well stocked and even boasts an industrial sized meat slicer. The wood-fired outdoor pizza oven is a nice perk. There are two large refrigerators. There is no automatic ice cube maker. The dining room and most bedrooms have wall mounted air conditioning units that provide area coverage. There is a washing machine, but drying occurs on racks. We were there in July. Clothes dried in 20 minutes. The pool is exquisite! The owner and others are courteous, very responsive and addressed any concerns quickly. The property manager, is available via text and promptly replies. The groundskeeper/handyman cleans the pool twice per week and keeps the grounds in top shape. The conscientious housekeeping staff comes in once per week to change bedding and provide clean towels. We had a wonderful stay in beautiful Umbria and highly recommend La Serena.

Umbria Villa
The villa was spacious, well equipped kitchen and bedrooms. The outside was well manicured with a lovely pool, pizza oven and gas grill. Gill was delightful and answered all questions and met us to do a walk thru of the the villa. She even left us dinner the first night of our arrival and was always available when needed. . Much appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Günter Seibl

Host profile image
La Serena is owned and managed by Günter Seibl who took over the property from Derek & Stephanie Mather in December 2020. Working in Online Marketing, he enjoys doing various kinds of sports in his free time - as well as visiting wineries and restaurants.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at La Serena and will be glad to help with any questions or requests you might have.

Why they chose this property

Where else would you find a region like Tuscany - but without mass tourism? This is perfect Italy as most people imagine it. For all lovers of food, wine and olive oil, it is like a paradise on earth.

Our area offers a fantastic mixture of beautiful landscape (perfect for hiking and mountainbike tours), amazing towns and villages (rich in art and history) and an ever-growing list of very nice restaurants and wineries.

What makes this property unique

La Serena is very strongly built, totally earthquake-proof and stays naturally cool in summer and naturally warmer in winter. Many local friends with older properties want to come and see or stay with us in winter in order to warm up! :)
After recent renovations, we can also provide air conditioning for hot summers and a pool heating for spring and autumn guests.

Our guests say that La Serena has that 'WOW' factor and all want to return for at least another holiday - the reality they find is always better than they imagine from the publicity!

Our guests also say that we provide a very warm personal welcome and stay on-hand for any questions or issues.
