The owner of this glorious villa surrounded by rolling Tuscan countryside is an author and it might not be a surprise to learn that she's heavily inspired by the stunning landscape. In fact, one of her books uses this very address as a location within the plot. Recently renovated, many of the traditional architectural features have been retained, including the wooden ceiling beams, stone archways and antique marble bathtubs, but contemporary flourishes can also be spotted quite easily, such as the vast collection of decorative items and artwork. Given the glorious climate that this part of the country enjoys, you'll probably want to spend as much time outdoors as possible and you're presented with plenty of ways to do just that. The oak dining table on the loggia is a sophisticated spot for alfresco meals, while there's also a heated swimming pool surrounded by olive trees and a tennis court elsewhere on the grounds that will help you work up an appetite. A quick glance at the landscape will let you know that you're in a truly isolated position here. In the locale, there are plenty of scenic walks, medieval castles and historic hilltop towns to visit, while the city of Perugia takes about forty-five minutes in the car to reach.
