Owner profile
About the owner
Hi I'm Jan, I love living here and I particularly enjoy sharing my local knowledge and experiences with my guests -especially the local Fiestas and live music that makes summer here so special. My dream of working for myself and setting up a holiday business has become a reality with two ground floor apartments and lovely swimming pool. I have my own olive grove and my oil is available for sale. I live upstairs with two friendly dogs -Champ a golden Labrador who just loves people and Luna a sweet natured Labrador/Collie cross, who came to live with me after being rescued from a horrible owner. I also have five well behaved cats, boss of whom is Ginger my 3 legged cat. Latest editions to the family are six chickens and a cockerel so there there are fresh eggs for sale too.
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a guest house in this location
I first came to Trasimeno Lake 15 years ago on honeymoon and we fell in love with its unspoilt beauty and kept coming back. Later we decided to come here to live. When we first saw the house it took our breath away - the view was so enchanting and we just loved the style of the house. Upstairs was completed but downstairs was a shell - perfect for our plans to construct two holiday apartments. The position was ideal too, a hillside location half way between two villages, easy to find and within comfortable travelling distance of all Umbrian and Tuscan places of interest - and of course beautiful Lago Trasimeno (in fact we are close to three lakes). Despite being in the countryside the autostrada and mainline train station are only 20 mins away making it an ideal location for holidays.
Unique benefits of the property
I live upstairs so am on hand to offer help and local knowledge if required, which can help make for a trouble free holiday. I am happy to show guests local Fiestas or some of our hidden delights from tucked away restaurants & local vineyards to hot natural springs. Both apartments are equipped to a high standard and there are games, books, DVDs and videos, sky TV and WiFi internet access (particularly popular with older children). The two apartments are available for joint renting which means families and friends can holiday together at a discounted rate. There are plenty of walking & cycling routes nearby and we are very central for visiting all the Tuscan & Umbrian places of interest. Florence & Rome and the Tuscan & Adriatic coasts are accessible by car. In short something for everyone
