Property 1605885704 – SAN GIOVANNI DEL PANTANO

6 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Umbrian countryside, this magnificent six-bedroom villa is ideally located for exploring the region’s cultural highlights and natural wonders. Surrounded by ancient olive trees and rolling hills, this exclusive family-friendly farmhouse is the perfect getaway for unforgettable day trips to Umbria’s most beautiful towns. It provides a unique opportunity to admire splendid landscapes while soaking up the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

The villa is just a stone’s throw from Perugia, Umbria’s largest city. Its historic centre rises in a jumble 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 enliven the nightlife and fill café terraces, while music-lovers flock to the city in July for Umbria Jazz, one of Europe’s top jazz festivals.

The villa is a few kilometres from Panicale, on the eastern slope of Mount Petrarvella and overlooking Lake Trasimeno. Among the town’s most important landmarks are the 15th-century fountain, the Collegiata di San Michele Arcangelo, a fine example of Umbrian Baroque architecture, the Palazzo del Podestà with its high tower visible from the valley below, and the Cesare Caporali Theatre, one of the smallest theatres in the region.

The villa is also a few kilometres 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 escape the well-trodden path and embrace the tranquil rhythm of lake life. All around the 128-square-kilometre lake, olive groves, oak and cypress woods, vines, and sunflower fields frame castle-topped medieval towns such as Castiglione del Lago and Passignano, draped along its shores like a daisy chain.

In less than 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 rising steep and wooded above, the sight of Assisi in the rosy glow of dusk is enough to uplift pilgrims’ spirits. 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 moved by Assisi’s beauty.
