Set in the Umbrian countryside, this charming home is the perfect place to relax with family or friends. Every nook and cranny oozes character – it feels inviting and traditional. We love the large bathtub, ideal for a post-sightseeing soak, and the kitchen has everything you need to cook Italian classics. That said, the biggest draw is the infinity pool, from which you can admire the Apennines hills in the distance. Fancy an alfresco aperitif? The terrace has you covered. Location-wise, the picturesque Lake Trasimeno is less than 10 kilometres away, while Cortona, Perugia, and the wine mecca of Montepulciano are all driveable in under an hour.

Local guide


About Lake Trasimene

Many battles have been fought on Lake Trasimene's banks, most notably between Hannibal and the Romans in 217 BC.
