Notes on accommodation
The elevated position (500m above sea level) means that even in mid-summer the air is clear and there is a light breeze. The interiors remain cool, thanks to the 60-centimetre-thick stone walls. In cooler weather, the property has full central heating and working fireplaces (additional charge).

Outside
The free-form pool is large (14m x 7.5m, depth from 60cm - 190cm) and extremely well maintained. Guests have exclusive use of the pool. It is surrounded by flagstone paving and lawn and there is also a large paved area surrounding the villa with a generous supply of outdoor furniture. The loggia on the upper level is a charming, shaded seating/dining area with great views. There is a private parking area for guests with an electronic gate. The grounds are well illuminated for safety and to add to the night-time beauty of the garden.

Coast/Beach
Lake Trasimeno is within half an hour's drive and offers water sports and ferry trips to the islands for walking, beaches and restaurants.

Special interest holidays
The villa would be ideal for special interest tours (painting, yoga, walking etc) because of the large communal room at guests' disposal.

The nearest airport for guests from the UK is Perugia (45 minutes), served by Ryanair from London Stansted. Other suitable airports are Rome Fiumicino, Rome Ciampino, Florence, Pisa, Ancona and Forli, which are 2 - 3 hours away.
