Description
Property Summary
Nestled on a gentle hilltop in the verdant countryside of Umbria, La Martinella is a magnificent 17th century stately home offering an exceptional vacation rental experience near Passignano sul Trasimeno, Italy. This imposing residence takes its name from a noblewoman who received it as dowry upon her marriage to a prominent gentleman of the era, and its storied past is reflected in every detail of its architecture and interior. Majestic 19th century furnishings fill the spacious rooms, whose high ceilings are adorned with frescoes and friezes depicting the history of the Perugia families who once called this villa home. Original materials have been carefully salvaged, conserved, and reintegrated throughout the centuries, from the antique terracotta floors and stone-clad fireplaces to the hand-hewn wooden ceiling beams, creating an atmosphere of authentic grandeur that is rare to find. The property is set within a 13-hectare estate of woodland, vineyards, and olive trees, and the surrounding fenced garden of 1,000 square metres offers absolute tranquillity and natural beauty. Guests benefit from a private parking area conveniently located just in front of the main entrance, as well as Internet WiFi connectivity throughout the property, ensuring that modern comforts are seamlessly woven into this historic setting.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of La Martinella are as captivating as its interior, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the natural splendour of the Umbrian landscape. The fenced garden of 1,000 square metres that surrounds the house is a sanctuary of peace, where the canopy of tall lime trees and ancient oaks shelters small stone benches perfectly positioned for quiet contemplation of the rolling hills and lake views. Lavender bushes, rose gardens, lemon trees, and colourful seasonal flowers brighten every corner, while winding paths lead through the wider estate, offering opportunities to explore the woodland, vineyards, and olive groves in search of an intimate connection with nature. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colours of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The non-heated swimming pool occupies a splendid panoramic position overlooking Lake Trasimeno and is situated at a lower level relative to the main house, remaining visible from several of the bedrooms. Rectangular in shape with a graceful semicircular end featuring Roman steps for entry, the pool measures 5 by 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.50 metres. It is lined in white PVC, equipped with internal lighting and a salt purification system, and can be covered during the night. The pool is available from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. Surrounding the pool, a spacious solarium area, largely laid to grass, provides the ideal setting for sunbathing and relaxation, complete with sunbeds, deckchairs, a gazebo, and an umbrella. A portico with a wood stove, a large table and chairs, a hot and cold water shower, and a small stone building housing a kitchenette, bathroom, and changing room complete this exceptional outdoor leisure area. The panoramic terrace, illuminated by beautiful lanterns, and the large portico with wood stove adjacent to the main house offer further options for alfresco dining and summer gatherings in an unforgettable setting.

Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling Lazio countryside on the border with Umbria and within easy reach of Tuscany, Villa Carmeli is an exceptional vacation rental that combines the timeless charm of a traditional Italian stone farmhouse with the refined comfort of contemporary living. Located near Castel Giorgio in Italy, this magnificent three-storey property and its separate annex sit within a vast unfenced park of 10,000 square metres, offering an unparalleled sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity. The heavy stone walls, softened by light blue fixtures that lend a distinctive Provençal character, frame a home where original architectural features such as round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams have been lovingly preserved throughout the renovation. The contemporary sensibility of the owners has shaped large, warm, and welcoming interiors with a minimalist aesthetic, making Villa Carmeli perfectly suited to an extended holiday with family and friends.

Property Summary
Nestled on the eastern slope of the tuff cliff that embraces Orvieto, one of Italy's most captivating art cities, Podere Torre delle Sorgenti is a truly extraordinary vacation rental born from the meticulous restoration of a historic 16th-century dovecote tower, a project entrusted to architect Martin Stubenrauch. The result is a residence of absolute originality, where centuries of history meet refined modern design in a setting of rare natural beauty. Orvieto itself, famously described as "the tall, strange city," appears from a distance as though suspended in the sky, and from the property you need only raise your eyes to take in the imposing walls of this fascinating city with nearly three thousand years of history. Inside, the interiors are distinguished by light-coloured wooden ceilings with iron beams, parquet and fine terracotta flooring, and a striking glass staircase connecting the 2 floors. The property is surrounded by a generous yard of 1.5 hectares, thoughtfully landscaped across terraces of Etruscan origin and filled with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, ensuring you remain connected during your stay. A dedicated 3-car parking area, accessible through an automatic gate, is conveniently located at the entrance to the villa, offering secure and effortless arrival.

In front of the large openable windows on the ground floor, 2 distinct areas for outdoor dining have been set up, each equipped with umbrellas, tables, and chairs, complemented by a built-in barbecue and a convenient sink. On the first floor, a charming outdoor living area shaded by a pergola features a sofa and coffee table, offering a breathtaking view towards the tuff cliff and the Fortezza Albornoz of Orvieto, the perfect spot to savour a glass of local wine in pleasant company. The 1.5-hectare garden extends over several terraces of Etruscan origin, following the natural slope of the land and embellished with flowering plants, colourful roses, evergreen bushes, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden with fragrant herbs located just a few metres from the first-floor entrance. Please note that photographs of the garden were taken in spring, so the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The beautiful rectangular swimming pool, which is for the exclusive use of guests and is non-heated, occupies a terrace at a lower level than the house, approximately 25 metres away and reached via a flight of 21 steps.

It features chlorine purification, a metal ladder for water access, and is lined with grey osmotic cement to confer a natural aesthetic, with a border of grey stone in the typical "basaltina di Bagnoregio" style, while the solarium area is paved in terracotta. Both internal and external lighting are available, and the solarium is equipped with sunbeds, deck chairs, an umbrella, and a solar shower. A natural spring runs alongside the pool, and the gentle, continuous sound of flowing water adds a deeply relaxing atmosphere to the space.

La Vecchia Pieve lies on a hill in Pieve Caina, a fraction of the Municipality of Marsciano. It is a three-storey stone and brick farmhouse with imposing walls and small windows, typical of late 19th century Umbrian farm structures, designed to conserve heat in winter and to be cool in summer. The recent renovation of the property has respected the original plans and architectural features with round vaults, terracotta floors and exposed chestnut beams. The contemporary taste of the owners has given the house large, warm and welcoming spaces but with a minimal style that makes them perfectly functional for the enjoyment of a holiday with family and friends, and rendered dynamic by the installation of a resin floor in the convivial kitchen, by parquet and bleached ceiling beams in the spacious bedrooms, and by stoneware in the bathrooms. The first floor is the heart of the house with the large modern kitchen with dining area, functional and fully equipped, and the cozy sitting room with fireplace from where a series of large travertine steps lead to the infinity pool next to the wisteria-covered pergola with dining table and barbecue. La Vecchia Pieve is perfect for those in search of privacy, relaxation and tranquility but also for hiking, riding and fishing aficionados with the various fully-equipped nature trails that abound in this area. The geographical position allows guests to move easily thanks to the presence of the highway which is just a few minutes away.
