Property 10533

Location and Surrounding Area

Located on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, this magnificent villa is ideally located to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Secluded in the hills that straddle Umbria and Tuscany, between the medieval cities of Arezzo and Perugia and within easy reach of Lake Trasimeno, this exclusive four-bedroom villa is the perfect retreat for unforgettable day trips to the most beautiful towns in Umbria and provides a unique opportunity to admire its splendid landscapes.

The villa is a few kilometers from Perugia, Umbria’s largest city. Its historic center rises in a helter-skelter of cobbled alleys, arched stairways and piazzas framed by churches and palazzi. Reminders of its lively past are everywhere, from ancient arches and medieval basilicas to Renaissance frescoes. But while history reverberates all around, Perugia knows how to party: university students pep up the nightlife and fill café terraces, while music-lovers swarm to the city in July for Umbria Jazz, one of Europe’s top jazz festivals.

In just one hour by car, you can reach Assisi, best known as the birthplace of Saint Francis of Assisi. With the plains spreading picturesquely below and Monte Subasio rearing steep and wooded above, the mere sight of Assisi in the rosy glow of dusk is enough to send pilgrims’ souls spiraling to heaven. It is at this hour, when the town is shrouded in saintly silence, that the spirit of Saint Francis can be felt most keenly. However, you don’t have to be religious to be struck by Assisi’s beauty.

In one hour and half by car, you can reach the medieval town of Montepulciano. Standing high atop a hill not far from Siena, the town of Montepulciano boasts elegant Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, charming squares and breathtaking views over the wonderful Val d’Orcia. In just one hour by car, you can also reach Montalcino, extremely well-known for the production of its Brunello red wine, one of the world’s most appreciated Italian wines.

The villa is a few kilometers from Lake Trasimeno, a splash of inky blue on the hilly landscape. Italy’s fourth-largest lake is a prime spot if you want to tiptoe off the well-trodden trail and slip into the languid rhythm of lake life. All around the 128-square-km lake, olive groves, woods of oak and cypress trees, vines and sunflower fields frame castle-topped medieval towns such as Castiglione del Lago and Passignano, draped along its shores like a daisy chain.

Property 10533 is 53 km from Perugia-Umbria San Francesco d’Assisi International Airport, 140 km from Florence Amerigo Vespucci International Airport and 251 km from Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.
