Set across two stone villas and surrounded by beautiful Umbrian countryside, this home is perfect for groups of family or friends looking for a rural retreat. In the tranquil gardens encircling the villas, you'll find outdoor dining spaces and sun loungers sitting in the shade of fruit trees – the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. Spend your days taking dips in the swimming pool, and enjoy a barbecue on the terrace in the evening. You’ll wake up to stunning views of the Umbrian hills from the main villa's bedrooms, and if you're staying in the annexe, you can enjoy direct access to the garden from your room. Though it contains modern amenities, the home's style evokes forgotten centuries – wooden beams adorn the ceilings, and an ornate wood burner is the centrepiece of the living space. You could spend all your time at the villa, alternating between relaxing in the indoor and outdoor spaces, but don't miss your chance to explo...

Experience Italy by laying claim to your own little village on a sprawling estate bordering Tuscany and Umbria. Made up of six houses – one converted from a hay barn, but all of them boasting traditional stone and exposed beams – the accommodation breaks down large groups into smaller parties. Though it's lacking a bit of light and some might not find the traditional decor to their taste, we like the practicality of this home, and the surroundings aren't so bad either. Green hills and oak forests stand like sentinels along the perimeter and from the right vantage you can overlook the Tiber Valley. Plus, the private pool and expansive garden will be a joy for little ones. *We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking space for up to thirty-three cars here. *This accommodation is split into a number of smaller apartments. Ideal for a large group who wants a little more privacy. *There's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom...

Nestled among the beautiful woods and cultivated meadows of the Umbrian hills, you'll find this sprawling four-hectare estate. The stone façade of this imposing villa is surrounded by olive groves and cypress trees, providing a peaceful space for open-air privacy in the 1000sqm garden. Sit on the manicured lawn beside the blooms as you sip your morning coffee and admire the magnificent view, or dive into the glistening pool to begin your day with a swim (yes, there is a diving board). Inside, the villa exudes the typical charm of rural Umbrian homes, with its wooden-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and large characteristic stone fireplace. The traditional patterned armchairs, colourful artwork and rustic furniture all add to the multi-layered design. You'll have plenty of room to entertain guests in the indoor and outdoor kitchen and dining spaces, but if you don't feel like cooking, ask your host to help you arrange a private chef. O...
You'll find this traditional villa where Tuscany meets Umbria, just a few kilometres from the medieval borgo of Città della Pieve. As far as locations go, it's incredibly scenic. The region is home to rolling hills, centuries-old olive groves, and must-see cities such as Perugia and Cortona – all easily accessible by car. Back home, the private pool is ideal for afternoon dips, the terrace has alfresco dining written all over it, and the balcony is the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine. The layout inside is a little quirky – multiple bedrooms are connected together, and one has external access – but that's all part of the charm. *The single beds in bedroom one and the bunk beds in bedroom four are in separate rooms, but they cannot be accessed directly. *One ground-floor bedroom is a suite that can only be accessed from the outside or through the twin bedroom. *The traditional decor here may not be to everyone's tas...
Surrounded by sprawling Umbrian countryside, this villa is everything we want from an Italian villa. The interiors are rustic and homespun – think antique furnishings, a farmhouse-style kitchen and lovingly restored timber ceiling beams. Wrought iron beds with crisp white sheets promise a blissful slumber and the open-plan living area makes entertaining a breeze. Our favourite addition, however, is the sauna – it’s exactly what you need after long walks through the nearby valleys. Outside, you’ll find fragrant gardens bordered by olive groves and fig trees. Let the afternoon slip by from the comfort of a poolside lounger before rounding up your group for an alfresco feast on the pergola. If you fancy a change of scenery, take the short drive over to the charming city of Perugia for its Gothic cathedral housing Renaissance paintings and frescoes. Enjoy a glass of something refreshing in a quaint cafe then pore over 3000 works of ...

There are few things better in life than an infinity pool, but an infinity pool with a gorgeous view is definitely among them. This home in the heart of Umbria treats paddlers to a verdant panorama of rolling countryside and distant hilltops. It's a truly rustic scene and you'll be glad to hear that the home itself slots nicely into the landscape. Traditional in style, you'll find high-ceilinged rooms filled with elegant wooden furnishings, antique decorations and floor tiling so shiny you can almost see your reflection in it. However, it's more modern where it matters, particularly the super-sleek bathrooms and equally glossy kitchens. If you pay a visit during the warmer months, you'll most likely want to spend as many hours out in the open air as possible and that's more than easy to do here. As well as the aforementioned pool, guests also have a large garden at their disposal, plus a barbecue and alfresco table for whe...
Standing high and proud above sea level, this turreted fortress gazes down at the stunning, surrounding countryside. Planted neatly between the delights of Tuscany and Umbria and with Lake Trasimeno in the foreground, a medieval trail of monuments, spas, and villages await to be explored. The villa itself is like an ancient towerhouse, rising up between the trees. The 360-degree view from its highest point overlooks the vast grounds, so you can survey the lands like a king or queen. Kids can play Rapunzel in the tower, or run around on the lawn and splash in the pool. With so many sheltered seating spots, from terraces to balconies, there’s plenty of spots to escape with a good book and bask in the peace and quiet. A cute, consecrated chapel sits within the grounds, should you be visiting for nuptials, and the four-poster master bed with its velvet curtains is the stuff of honeymoon suite dreams. With pines, cypresses, vivid blooms, and...
Nestled in the Umbrian countryside, this traditional stone-built villa is as tranquil as it comes. Inside, you’ll find a homely, welcoming vibe, and we love the flexibility of the accommodation, with the lower floor boasting an independent apartment, making this an ideal base for groups that want to holiday together yet still enjoy some private time. That said, the cherry on the cake for us is the outdoor space. A private pool, alfresco dining, and sun-drenched terraces – it ticks all the holiday boxes. Locally, the hilltop town of Agello is well worth a visit, or hop in the car to drive to Lake Trasimeno, just eight kilometres away. *The lower floor of this villa contains an apartment with an independent entrance. The apartment has a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms (sleeping five) and three bathrooms. *The swimming pool is only available for use between 1st May and 15th September. *If you're travelling with little ones...

This beautifully rustic home is dressed with character and washed with beauty. Situated in a lovely countryside location, this private villa has olive groves and vineyards wrapping around it and the luxury of a garden in full bloom. If you aren’t swimming in the pool, pop open a bottle of local wine and try your hand at a traditional Italian pizza, cooked on the built-in barbecue and wood oven.

Out in the rolling hills of Umbria, this pretty stone villa embraces the quiet, provincial life. It’s surrounded by two hectares of forest, olive groves and fieldland and the private gardens are alive with lavender and fragrant Mediterranean herbs. Between the plant life, there are sunloungers on lawns, a children’s play park and plenty of shaded spots beneath trees to settle down with a good book. Perhaps the crowning glory of the gardens is the turquoise swimming pool, shimmering in the Umbrian sunshine. Though foodies may argue it’s the rustic summer kitchen with its brick-built grill, stone sink and prep area for long, lazy lunches in the loggia outside. The home is split between the main villa and a separate annexe, and large groups will find myriad sitting rooms and lounges to spread out. Smoke-blackened hearths speak of the home’s history and sitting rooms beneath wooden ceilings are home to antique furniture and little li...
All we need is a harpsichord to strike up a tune and a trumpeter to announce our entrance and this home could trick us into thinking we were back in the 1700s. Built in 1690 for a notable Perugia family, the plot was recently painstakingly renovated to bring it back to its former glory. The whole building is impressive but the beautiful living space stands out with its sherbet lemon yellow walls, marble fire place and ornate chandelier. You might find yourself craning your neck upwards to gaze at the gorgeous frescos that decorate ceilings, originally painted by Mariano Piervittori in 1850. The surrounding parkland is equally as dreamy as the interiors, with an abundance of oleanders, roses, fruit trees, and a structured garden. Follow the path round to come to a swimming pool with views of the Umbrian hills. On balmy summer evenings, swap the grand formal dining room, with its oil paintings and wooden floorboards, for dinner on the ter...
Sitting on the peaceful border between Tuscany and Umbria, adventurers will be glad to know this home isn't too far off the beaten track. In one direction, Chiusi beckons you to visit the Museo Archeologico Nazionale and, the other way, Città della Pieve calls you into Pieve Co-Cathedral – both are a seven-kilometre drive. One thing's for certain when you come here, lots of fresh air and hilly picnics. Ideal for groups craving a sense of space, this idyllic home spreads out over three separate apartments. With plenty to do among the fruit trees and flowers, how about a morning workout in this open-air gym? Maybe relaxing in the hot tub would suit you better, or dipping your toes in the infinity pool to keep cool during those sunny afternoons. If you're staying in the winter, just imagine dining on Italian-inspired dishes with your dearest ones – farm-to-table cooking couldn't be easier thanks to the abundant vegetable garden. <br...
Sitting within a medieval borgo (little village) whose heyday was the early 17th century, this villa complex embraces old-world Umbria. It’s pure peace and quiet out here between the endless olive groves (extra virgin olive oil is the region’s speciality) and rolling hills covered in a patchwork of fields. It’s five kilometres to Monte Castello di Vibio with its ancient theatre and fifteen kilometres to the pretty town of Todi for restaurants and supermarkets. The yard, where wheat was once threshed by hand, is now home to a smattering of chairs and tables for tipples in the sunshine. The porticoed upper terrace is the perfect spot for breakfast, or big barbecue lunches, with views of the 22-hectare estate. But the crowning glory of the gardens has to be that Roman-style swimming pool with its panoramic view of the countryside. Accommodation is split between three separate buildings set around the courtyard. Two annexes ha...

Out in the undulating countryside of Umbria, this villa encapsulates the traditional Italian aesthetic with a few modern luxuries thrown in. A terracotta roof, honey-hued old stone and green shutters are all old-world charm, but the sparkling turquoise pool stretching out front is a reminder you’re in the 21st-century. Within the acres of grounds, you’ll find a shaded loggia for dining outdoors, perfectly manicured lawns, and dining for up to forty under wooden pergolas should you have something special to celebrate.
