Location: Castiglione del Lago, Umbria, Italy, Europe (Cortona and Montepulciano 15 Mins, Siena & Assisi 60 Mins)

Accommodations:  Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)

This charming 2 BR house is ideally situated down a quiet country track approx 2 miles from the Tuscany border on the western side of Lago Trasimeno. Immersed in rolling farmland the cottage is in a very quiet position yet is only minutes from a local village which has all necessary amenities.

The cottage is approx 1,100 sq ft and was newly constructed in 2006 using materials from old out buildings and has a traditional design. It has 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin) and 2 bathrooms. The upstairs bedroom had a queen bed, en-suite and a balcony with expansive views of Lago Trasimeno. Downstairs there is the large second bedroom, a bathroom and a pretty open plan kitchen/living area with an arched doorway leading to a barrel vaulted portico - ideal for al fresco dining.

Wireless broadband is available throughout the private fenced and gated grounds of 2 acres which surround the property.

There is a magnificent tiled pool on the grounds. Special care was taken by the owners when designing the pool. It is 6m x 13m in size and is salt water based. There is a shallow end with roman steps and a deep end with a diving board. The pool is lined with brilliant Bizzasa glass tiles which shimmer in the sun. There is ample space surrounding the pool for private sunbathing.

Location is excellent for relaxing by the pool in a tranquil setting or for touring the Tuscany & Umbria regions and visiting many of the beautiful towns and villages close by - Arezzo, Assisi, Cortona, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Orvieto, Pienza and Siena - all being within a 1 hr drive. Day trips to Florence and Rome are very easy via 1.5 hr train ride - local train station is 20 mins from the property.

  • Me, my fiancee Stacey and our 15 month old son stayed here from the 22nd June 2009 to 4th July 2009.I must say...out of all of the places i have been around the world...this was truly fantastic.It had everything you could possibly want for a holiday, great weather...a beautiful fully equipped home...superb views and landscapes....stunning food.We had never been to Italy/Umbria before and this summer we thought we would give it a try and i am very happy we made this decision. Ken and Danica have made a truly beautiful home and the pool is superb. It had everything you needed, the bedroom was comfy and cosy, the living room was relaxing and kitchen was very well equipped and the local produce was superb, far better than anything i have ever tried. Sometimes on the holiday, i texted Ken asking a few questions and not once did he fail to reply, he was always helpful and he even came to see us whilst on a business trip and he cooked up a bbq for us, lovely guy and i wish him all the best. The locals were friendly, the restaurants are fantastic, the local pizzas are nothing like you can get anywhere else on Earth.I highly recommend that you stay here, if you want nice weather...a great pool...a lovely home....very helpful and friendly owners....great views....great local food...this place is a must for any family...with or without kids. I'd like to thank Ken and Danica for everything and wish them all the best for the future...we had no complaints at all. Richard Williams

  • A fantastic place to get a taste of the real Italy, yet convenient for exploring the cultural highlights of Tuscany and Umbria. We spent our days strolling through the charming hilltop towns of Assisi, Montepulciano and Orvietto. In the evenings, we relaxed on the portico enjoying some great local wines while taking in the picture-postcard views and magnificent sunsets. The villa is perfect for families - a well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, spacious rooms, and of course the trampoline and swimming pool! Ken and Danica are the perfect hosts and have thought of everything. We highly recommend it and hope to return again someday.

  • Lovely cottage on a restored property with an equally lovely family. We stayed for over a week, found the little house to be a very comfortable and spacious place from which to explore lots of great towns (Montepulciano, Pienza, Cortona...), and enjoyed very much the hospitality and recommendations of Ken and Danica (and their 3 sweet girls). WIFI worked brilliantly, the property and surrounding farmland made for great strolls, and the pool (albeit closed when we were there in March) looks beautiful. The cottage is very private and Ken and Danica make themselves very available if you need them. Our little boy enjoyed the property very much. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to stay in the Trasimeno area.
