Castiglione del Lago Vacation Villa Rentals
Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of San Venanzo, in the heart of Umbria, Italy, Podere Pomasciano is an extraordinary vacation rental that invites you to step into a world where history, nature, and refined rural elegance converge. Renovated in 2013 with exceptional taste, this centuries-old farmhouse retains all the authenticity of its origins, featuring exposed-stone façades, wooden-beamed ceilings, and terracotta floors crafted in the estate's own historic kiln. The property sits in a dominant and strategic position overlooking an unspoilt countryside that stretches as far as the eye can see, surrounded by approximately 250 hectares of cultivated fields, olive groves, and woodland. Guests have access to a beautifully maintained fenced yard of 5,000 square meters, lush with Mediterranean plants, seasonal blooms, and a celebrated collection of David Austin English roses that flower from April to December. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, keeping you connected while you enjoy the tranquility of the Umbrian landscape. A dedicated parking area is located in a wooded section just a few metres from the house, offering 7 uncovered spaces for your convenience. The magical atmosphere of Podere Pomasciano is inseparable from the rich history and legend that permeate these lands, from the ancient Etruscan civilization that once used this farmhouse as a staging post between Perugia and Orvieto, to the 16th-century apparition of the Virgin Mary to a young girl named Agatha, which gave rise to the nearby Shrine of the Madonna degli Ulivi. The Corneli family, current owners since 1700, has devotedly cultivated these fertile lands for over two centuries, producing wine, oil, soups, and preservative-free sauces in their own organically certified laboratory.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces at Podere Pomasciano are nothing short of spectacular, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, historical charm, and thoughtfully arranged areas for relaxation and alfresco dining. The newly built swimming pool occupies a panoramic position just 20 metres from the house, measuring 12 x 5 metres with a depth ranging from 1.20 to 1.50 metres. Lined in blue PVC with chlorine purification, the pool features Roman steps in one corner for easy water access, as well as both internal and external lighting. The surrounding terracotta-paved solarium area is equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs, tables, umbrellas, a gazebo, and a changing room accessible down 2 steps. An outdoor hot and cold-water shower completes the pool area. Please note that the pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday of October. Not far from the pool, an ornamental pond with phytopurifying water plants, including lotus flowers, iris, mint, papyrus, calla lilies, and horsetails, creates a serene natural setting populated by dragonflies and frogs that enliven the summer evenings. Around the house, several comfortable outdoor living areas invite you to linger and enjoy the scenery. The shady panoramic terrace, connected directly to the living room, is furnished with a table, chairs, and sofas, offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The vine-covered pergola adjacent to the kitchen is equipped with a table, chairs, a wood stove, and a barbecue, making it an ideal setting for outdoor meals. A further pergola at the rear of the house provides a more intimate retreat, furnished with a sofa and armchairs. The large garden is entirely at your disposal, allowing you to stroll among beds of herbs and seasonal vegetables and discover the agricultural tools used by farmworkers in centuries past.
