About this property

Spacious Villa in Tranquil Setting with Solar Heated Pool, Views and Wifi

A large 200 year old stone-built former farmhouse on the border of Tuscany and Umbria, situated 1.5kms up a white road in a clearing on a beautiful wooded hillside with uninterrupted views extending across to the other side of the valley. It is secluded, private and tranquil but close to amenities. The house is ideal for those looking for a relaxing break in the heart of Italy with extended family or 2 or 3 family friends.

There are six attractive bedrooms (3 kingsize doubles and 3 twins), three bathrooms (2 with showers and 1 with a bath). A spacious and comfortable living room with TV and lots of DVD's for both adults and children and books (mainly english), dining room and well equipped kitchen with a 5 ring gas hob with 110cm electric fan oven, kettle, toaster, coffee maker, 1 larder fridge, 1 small chest freezer and 1 drinks fridge with ice compartment, lots of pots pans and utensils, arranged over 3 floors. There are 2 travel cots for babies (you need to bring your own bedding) and 2 highchairs. All the windows have mosquito blinds and all the bedrooms have fans.

Outside there is a private solar heated, saltwater chlorinated swimming pool (10mx5m) with built in steps in the shallow end and large established gardens surrounded by countryside. Beside the swimming pool is a roofed pergola with large travertine marble tiled table, perfect for long leisurely lunches in the shade and with lighting and lanterns (tealights provided) for evening meals. The wifi also extends to the pergola so you can catch up with work if required or keep your social media posts up to date!

There is also a pool house, where you can put away the sunlounger cushions and drying racks for towels and swimming costumes and a toilet.

The house is conveniently located for visiting all the key attractions in this beautiful part of Umbria and Tuscany. Our local town is 15 minutes drive away for supermarkets, pharmacy and ATM's. There are 2 great restaurants 10 minutes from the house, where you can either dine in or take away pizza's.

Sophie A.

Idyllic setting. Very peaceful surroundings in a beautiful old house.
11 of us (6 adults and 5 children) spent a week at Ca de Luca. The house is well equipped and typical of the region.The countryside is beautiful and very peaceful. Many larger houses in Italy are separated in flats with a shared pool - Ca de Luca was one of the few I could find that would accommodate us in one space. Luly was very helpful with enquiries and left us a welcome basket of food and wine for our first night. Two members of our party were very young (3 and 23 months) so it was a bit hectic watching them on the steps and stair cases but there were 6 adults, so we managed well.All in all a perfect Italian countryside property.

Charming characterful villa in quiet rural location ideal for large family
If you're the sort of person who demands flawless, contemporary, 5* hotel-like accommodation where you don't have to give a second thought to your water or electricity usage then this might not be the place for you. If, however, like us you want a charming villa, with bags of character, which really does have everything you need for a large family gathering in a very quiet rural location, then you won't be disappointed. The water supply is from the villa's own well, so in theory is limited. In practice, we were reasonably careful, and had no problems whatsoever. Likewise, as long as we didn't run the dishwasher, oven and washing machine all at the same time, the supposed electricity supply limitations were of no concern either. The house remained comfortably cool inside providing a welcome respite from the 36C temperatures outdoors. The pool is perfectly situated - there always seem to be some parts in the shade and others in the full sun at any time of day. We had a 6-month old with us, and had no problems keeping him comfortable despite the heat. The kitchen was small but well equipped. The chest freezer and separate beer/wine fridge got a lot of use! The location is very quiet - the last few hundred metres being along a steep, dusty gravel road. This just adds to the sense of isolation, although like us you may question whether you're on the right road on arrival! The weather was a little warm to do a lot of exploring of the area. However, we did make it to the hill top towns of Cortona, Gubbio and Monte Santa Maria Tiberina all of which we can thoroughly recommend. The countryside to the north looked particularly attractive. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were very sad to leave Ca de Luca. We rarely go to the same place twice on holiday, as we enjoy exploring new places. However, in this case, we may well make an exception.

We had a great holiday in San Pietro al Monte
We had a great time at the villa - comfortable house with a fabulous view. Lots to see and do in the neighbouring towns and some good local restaurants. The villa is in a perfect location off the beaten track but within easy reach of shops etc with a gorgeous swimming pool

About the host

Hosted by Luly Yorke

Host profile image
I fell in love with Italy many years ago when as a child I holidayed there often with my parents. As an 18 year old I went to live and work in Florence for 2 years and traveled throughout Tuscany and Umbria. My husband has a job which necessitates us moving house every couple of years, so we bought this house to be our "home" and we return as often as we can. We have our own apartment within the house which we use during the winter months, which is not accessible for our guests. In the Summer we open up the rest of the villa for rent and for 3 weeks we invite friends and family to stay with us.

Why they chose this property

Primarily we bought this house to call home and for us to be able to have all our friends and family to stay. We fell in love with the property straight away, despite seeing many houses and despite the fact it was very neglected. The garden had nearly overtaken the house, there was a colony of bats living in the house and it was filthy inside. Over a number of years, we made renovations and improvements and did a huge amount of DIY. This was a joy for us as the housing provided by my husband's job didn't allow for us to make any changes or make the house our own. Umbria is a beautiful region, not maybe the classic Italy that everyone thinks of, which is Tuscany, but it is less touristy even now 24 years after we bought the house and there are SO many beautiful villages and towns to visit close by or just enjoy the tranquil and peaceful setting and lounging by the pool.

What makes this property unique

It is over 200 years old and has beautiful views across unspoiled countryside. It is easily accessible, being only 1.6 kms up a white road (as they're called in Italy i.e. an unsurfaced track). Many houses will be a long way from a tarmac road (which the owners won't tell you in their adverts!), so it's easy to get to the local shops, restaurants or to travel further afield for sightseeing.
