Summary
This truly beautifully located country villa was finished beginning 2010. The fully local stone exposed country house (6 sleeps) and large private swimming pool are located in the middle of a green area consisting of garden and active olive grove. The property is entirely privately positioned and has a large living room, handmade kitchen with large stove, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a stone exposed wine cellar / dining room. A large porch enjoys spectacular views to the towns of Panicale, Piegaro, Citta della Pieve and Lake Trasimeno with the Tuscan mountains in the back. Really special is the traditional Pizza oven with BBQ near the lower terrace of the house.
Why this is Special Umbria
This is what you expect from a holiday in Umbria: modern comfort in the middle of an Italian olive grove. In short: country luxury!
