Our beautiful 4 bedroom villa Capanna, with its own large, private pool, is located in a semi-wooded position on a hillside in the tranquil Umbrian countryside, very close to the Tuscan border.
It's the perfect base for exploring both regions, with Assisi, Perugia, Florence, Gubbio, Arezzo and many other towns all in easy reach. All amenities can be found in our local town, a thriving place with an historic centre, just 4km away.
The house is made from three adjoining barns and tobacco towers, now interlinked. We believe some of the walls date back over 500 years when the building was a watch tower. The interior designer owner, who converted it for his own use, kept many of the traditional features such as the chestnut beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and tobacco oven, while introducing all modern comforts.
The four bedrooms (two are ensuite) are bright and airy and have views over the gardens and surrounding countryside . The fully equipped kitchen, with solid wood units, Miele oven, Bosch dishwasher etc, means keen cooks can make the most of the local produce. There is a large dining room but in the summer months you will probably be eating every meal on one of the two terraces. The garden has many different areas for enjoying the sun or shade, while the large, private pool is set in landscaped gardens. We are also well set up for babies, with two cots, a high chair, changing mat etc.
Our location in Umbria, near the Tuscan border, means you can enjoy the delights of both these regions. Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio, Florence, Sienna & many more famous towns are all close by. The more active can take a trip to the beaches of Lake Trasimeno, canoe on the River Tiber, play a round of golf, or go for a walk in the surrounding hills. Several supermarkets, banks, internet cafes, and many restaurants, pizzerias and cafes are available in our local town, 4km away. There is also an excellent shopping outlet on the way to Sienna, if you like to combine your culture with retail therapy.
From the historic joys of Florence and Assisi, to the delights of our local towns Umbertide, Perugia and Citta Di Castello, there is much to see and do.
