Description

Property Summary

Nestled on the verdant hills of Cortona, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Casa del Sole is a captivating vacation rental that dates back to the 19th century, as evidenced by an original inscription on sandstone carefully preserved by the owners. This charming property has undergone thoughtful renovation that has respected and maintained the interior character shaped by its preceding owners. The rental portion of the house occupies a single floor and is entirely independent, offering guests complete privacy and tranquility. The owners' apartment, located on the top floor, has a fully independent entrance and the owners, described as very reserved yet genuinely helpful, do not share the park or the pool with guests. Positioned just a few hundred metres from the centre of Cortona, Casa del Sole is pleasantly immersed in the surrounding green hillside, commanding sweeping views over the valley below. Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi internet access throughout their stay, as well as private parking on the property. The estate extends across approximately 1,500 square metres, divided between a lush garden and terraced areas planted with olive trees, offering a generous yard in which to unwind and explore.

Outdoors

The park surrounding Casa del Sole spans approximately 1,000 square metres of the estate, of which around 500 square metres are dedicated to a beautifully maintained garden, with the remainder given over to terraced land planted with olive trees. The grounds are home to an impressive variety of mature trees, including oaks, holm oaks, linden, cypress, plum, and fig trees, creating a rich and shaded natural environment. Throughout the garden, carefully tended shrubs of viburnum, rosemary, and spiraea, along with bamboo and colourful potted flowers, embellish the various corners of the outdoor space. In a secluded area of the garden, a charming open-air lounge has been arranged with comfortable cushioned armchairs and a small rattan table, offering an ideal spot for relaxing in absolute peace. At the back of the house, a pergola is furnished with a table and chairs and equipped with a barbecue, providing a delightful setting for alfresco dining. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.

The non-heated swimming pool is situated approximately 20 metres from the house, in a lower position accessible via a downhill path with wide steps. Open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October, the pool is fully fenced and rectangular in shape, measuring 10 x 4 metres with a depth ranging from 1 to 2.20 metres. Access to the water is via Roman steps, and the pool is lined in PVC and purified using a chlorine system. It is illuminated by spotlights both outside and inside the water. The surrounding solarium area is equipped with sunbeds, chaises longues, and a sun umbrella, and a cold water shower is available at one side of the solarium.

Unit Layout

The rental accommodation at Casa del Sole is entirely arranged on a single floor, making it particularly comfortable and accessible for guests.

A corridor leads from the living area to the sleeping quarters, which consist of 2 bedrooms: a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, both furnished with queen-size beds. The 2 bedrooms share 1 bathroom, which is fitted with both a bathtub and a shower. The property comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests.

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.

Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the picturesque medieval town of Panicale, in the province of Perugia, Italy, Villa Lemura is an extraordinary vacation rental steeped in centuries of noble history. Originally constructed in 1690 as the private residence of a distinguished Perugian noble family, this magnificent Umbrian villa was expanded in 1850, when the celebrated artist Mariano Piervittori adorned its interiors with his remarkable frescoes, elevating the property to a work of art in its own right. Set within a verdant landscape overlooking the gentle plains of Lake Trasimeno, the villa offers a breathtaking combination of natural beauty and historical grandeur that is truly unparalleled. The surrounding area is renowned for its picturesque and expressive scenery, making it a cherished destination for those who seek tranquility immersed in nature while remaining within easy reach of towns of great artistic and cultural significance. The property benefits from a generous yard extending over approximately 2 acres, filled with a rich variety of plants, flowers, and centuries-old trees that create a serene and fragrant environment throughout the seasons. Seamless wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the stay, ensuring that guests remain effortlessly connected while enjoying the timeless atmosphere of this exceptional Umbrian estate. Villa Lemura has been subjected to a thorough technical inspection prior to the beginning of each season, verifying the consistency of its description, the condition of all listed accessories, and the overall quality, cleanliness, and comfort offered to every guest.

Outdoors

The park surrounding Villa Lemura is a true sanctuary of natural beauty, spreading across approximately 2 acres of carefully maintained grounds that unfold across several terraced levels. Beautiful oleanders frame portions of the main house, while roses, lavender, tall cedars of Lebanon, cypresses, pines, and fruit trees contribute to the rich tapestry of scents and colours that characterise the estate throughout the warmer months. To the left of the entrance gate, a well-kept Italian garden leads gracefully to the entrance of a consecrated chapel, offering a moment of quiet contemplation within the grounds. Directly opposite the Italian garden, an attractive and cool gazebo connects to a second outdoor kitchen and provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining in the shade. Throughout the park, numerous shaded corners invite guests to read, relax, and enjoy the peaceful Umbrian atmosphere. It is worth noting that photographs of the property are taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what is visible upon arrival at different times of the season. The rectangular non-heated swimming pool is positioned within the park at the rear of the house, approximately 100 metres from the main entrance, set on a lower terrace level and entirely surrounded by lush greenery with views over the gentle Umbrian hills. Measuring 6 x 12 metres with a constant depth of 1.60 metres, the pool features Roman steps leading into the water, white PVC lining, internal lighting, and a chlorine purification system. The spacious solarium area is composed of both stone and lawn surfaces and is fully equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, and an outdoor cold water shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October.

Villa Lemura is configured to accommodate up to 20 guests across 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, offering a generous and thoughtfully arranged interior spread across 2 floors. On the ground floor, the entrance opens into a spacious frescoed hall dominated by a large stone staircase at its centre. To the left of the hall, guests will find a sitting room, a TV room, and 2 double bedrooms: one featuring an en-suite bathroom with shower, and the other served by an adjacent bathroom with shower. To the right of the hall, the ground floor continues with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a toilet, and a suite comprising a double bedroom with a bathroom fitted with a bathtub, along with an additional room containing 2 beds. The impressive stone staircase leads up to the first floor, where a large and elegantly appointed central living room takes centre stage, complemented by a sitting room and a reading room. A spacious terrace is also accessible from this level. The first floor accommodates 3 double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom with shower, as well as a twin bedroom with beds measuring 1.20 metres in width and its own en-suite bathroom with shower. The floor is completed by a suite consisting of a sitting room, a twin bedroom that shares a bathroom with an adjoining double bedroom, and a further double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom fitted with a bathtub. Portable air conditioning units are available in the bedrooms.
