This is an exquisitely restored medieval home found on the border between two of Italy’s most historic and picturesque regions, those of Umbria and Tuscany. But like the famous local wines we’re certain you’ll find this villa has done nothing but improve with age. Inside, the rustic interior with its leather furnishings and exposed timber provides a deep sense of comfort, whether you’re gathered in front of the wood-burning fireplace with a glass of red or sat at the writer’s desk in the small library waiting for the muse to strike. Fortunately, inspiration is not hard to come by. Stepping outside you’ll be stunned by the beauty of the rolling verdant countryside, a permanent backdrop that can be equally enjoyed from the alfresco dining table as from the dazzling pool and sundeck. The atmosphere is only heightened by the numerous trees and flowering plants that seem to frame every view. Add to this easy access to the beautiful lakeside towns around Lago Trasimeno as well as amenities like a home gym and sauna, and it’s fair to say this really is all that you can ask for.
