Outside
Coming from the living room one can find two different porches that can be accessed directly from the living room. One is facing south east and looks over Greppolischieto, a fortress dating back to the year 1000. This porch has a beautiful bench that enables one to have a nice morning breakfast or wonderful outside dinners with family and friends at a long table. The other porch facing north, ideal for a morning coffee or aperitif, overlooks the swimming pool area and the vast scenery of gently sloping hills directly south of Lake Trasimeno. The entire villa is surrounded by lawns gently sloping down to a large swimming pool (10 x 5 meters) that is surrounded by a large terrace, outside cold water shower and storage room for terrace furniture. Here one can find also a small pantry with fridge. From this pool one has a terrific infinity feeling of being surrounded strictly by nature.
