Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling Lazio countryside on the border with Umbria and within easy reach of Tuscany, Villa Carmeli is an exceptional vacation rental that combines the timeless charm of a traditional Italian stone farmhouse with the refined comfort of contemporary living. Located near Castel Giorgio in Italy, this magnificent three-storey property and its separate annex sit within a vast unfenced park of 10,000 square metres, offering an unparalleled sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity. The heavy stone walls, softened by light blue fixtures that lend a distinctive Provençal character, frame a home where original architectural features such as round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams have been lovingly preserved throughout the renovation. The contemporary sensibility of the owners has shaped large, warm, and welcoming interiors with a minimalist aesthetic, making Villa Carmeli perfectly suited to an extended holiday with family and friends. The property benefits from complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Ample parking is available on-site, with 4 uncovered spaces conveniently positioned in front of the pergola and swimming pool.
