About this property

A Stunning Property with Private Pool Tucked Into The Umbrian Countryside

Villa Tripoli is located three kilometers from the medieval walled village of Porano and only 15 minutes away from Orvieto. Villa Tripoli’s spacious, century-old country home and cottage have been carefully restored with quality materials, attention to detail and an artistic eye. The buildings and large private swimming pool are set on four acres surrounded by rolling agricultural and forest land that yield lovely vistas and complete privacy. Visitors have exclusive use of the property during their stay at Villa Tripoli. What sets Villa Tripoli apart is its embracing peace and tranquility. Nestled into a pastoral countryside, yet close to the historic, artistic and cultural sites of Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio, Villa Tripoli offers the best of all worlds.

HOUSE
The stone house retains original features characteristic of an old Umbrian country home (wood beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, terra-cotta floors), yet has unusually large and spacious rooms, is flooded with light and is fully equipped with modern conveniences (wifi, cable TV, DVD/CD player, iPod docking station). The house is furnished with a harmonious mix of Italian and Asian antiques, ethnic art, and contemporary furnishings.

The very large living room is distinguished by a triple vault ceiling, magnificent stone fireplace, quarter-grand piano, huge windows that afford sweeping views over the surrounding landscape, and French doors opening onto a portico, or covered terrace. The large dining room has a table and chairs for ten and a working fireplace. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances - large refrigerator, double sink, oven, microwave and stove. A full bathroom and utility room are also located on the ground floor. The portico, accessed from both the dining room and living room, offers delightful dining al fresco from spring through mid-autumn.

Four bedrooms and three full baths are located upstairs. The large master bedroom (queen sized bed) and another bedroom (queen-sized bed that can be made into twin beds) are located at the east end of the house. They share a closet-lined hall and a large bathroom with a shower, separate bathtub, double sink and toilet. A set of doors provides these rooms extra privacy. The third bedroom (with a king-sized bed that can be made into large twin beds) is located in the middle of the house. Its en-suite bathroom has a shower, two sinks, toilet and a charming oval window. The fourth bedroom (with a queen-sized bed that can be made into twin beds) is located at the west end of the house. The room and its adjoining private bathroom (with a shower, separate bathtub, sink and toilet) are also set off from the main hallway by a set of doors for privacy.

COTTAGE
The stone cottage, located between the house and pool, is an enchanting, self-contained living space. The open-plan ground floor contains a living room, dining room and kitchen dishwasher). A full bathroom (with shower) is located off of this room. With one wall essentially of glass, the cottage is suffused with light. It has a working fireplace and is equipped with wifi, a television and CD/DVD player. A graceful cantilevered stone staircase ascends to a large sleeping loft with a queen-sized bed.

POOL AND GROUNDS
The large pool (14.5 x 4.5 m) has wide open views of the surrounding rural landscape but has complete privacy. A stone terrace and built-in stone benches running along one side of the pool, make for a perfect place to spend a day off from sightseeing or to watch the sun set over the hills with a glass of prosecco in hand. Cushions for the benches and lawn chairs are provided for guests’ use. A patio in front of the cottage and in front of the pool, set up with an umbrella, table and chairs, makes another pleasant spot for outdoor meals. The grounds of the property have expansive and lush lawns, flower beds and perennial borders, an herb garden, and olive and fruit orchards. The walls of the house and cottage are covered with fragrant climbing roses, jasmine and clematis.

Orvieto bliss
Six of us -- all seasoned global travelers -- had a memorable holiday at Villa Tripoli. Everything was absolutely perfect, ranging from setting to bedding to pool to art to, well, you name it. Fantastic experience.

Great family vacation spot!
It was perfect for our family trip that included 8 of us from 3 years old to 75. Tons to do in the area. The Villa is perfect for relaxation whether around the pool or in the shade of the portico. Even my gourmet cooking brother in law found everything he needed in the kitchen.

Idyllic Italian villa in a stunning setting
Villa Tripoli was everything we had hoped for in an Italian villa vacation. The main house, cottage, pool, and grounds are gorgeous inside and out and are all impeccably cared for. Architecture, decor, and artwork from around the world distinguish the villa, while furnishings and old-world finishes make it comfy and cozy. The setting is idyllic, tucked amongst the beautiful rolling Umbrian hills planted with olive trees and hazelnut orchards (which were being harvested during our stay in September). Magnificent Orvieto is a short drive from Villa Tripoli, and we made fun day trips from there to see Civita, Bolsena, Montepulciano and Siena. Susan has outfitted her property with every amenity and all the comforts of home. Her packet of notes was full of invaluable information for logistics, activities, dining, and planning for all of our outings. Shout outs to friendly local Trattoria da Claudio in Porano, Chef Lorenzo’s cooking class in Baschi (amazing and such fun), Dario’s Contrada tour in Siena, and Palazzone wine tasting in Orvieto. Emanuela made us feel very welcome upon arrival at Villa Tripoli, and had our stay been a bit longer, we would definitely have arranged a tour and wine-tasting adventure with her. We will highly recommend Villa Tripoli to family and friends for future travel to Italy!

A lovely villa in a gorgeous setting
We had an absolutely wonderful vacation at Villa Tripoli. The villa is what everyone hopes an Italian vacation villa will be. The house has all the Italian architectural charm for which one could wish, but also modern utilities. We were delighted to have 5 full bathrooms and modern kitchen appliances. The house is roomy and extremely comfortable. The surrounding countryside is truly lovely. We stayed for 5 weeks and we wish we could have stayed longer. Various family members and friends came and went, and each one arrived with the same initial comment: "Wow! This place is amazing!" There are so many wonderful places to see and things to do in the areas near the villa. We loved Orvieto, Todi, Speleto, Bolsena, Pitigliono, and the smaller, less-touristy hill towns. Susan's "Notes on Villa Tripoli" proved invaluable with recommendations for restaurants, activities, and shopping. We especially liked the family restaurant in Porano, Trattoria and Pizzeria da Claudio, where we dined often and always enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and the good food. We also liked the Trattoria del Conte on the road to Lake Bolsena. We also had catering done by Simona for several dinners, and those dinners were just terrific. Emanuela, the House Manager when Susan was away, was terrific. She is so friendly and did everything she could to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She is a Certified Tour Guide, and she gave us a great tour of Orvieto and also of Bolsena. She also arranged for other colleagues to give us tours of Palazzo Farnese, Villa Lante, Todi, and Montefalco. All the guides were wonderful. I realize that I am running out of superlatives as I am writing, but I just can't say enough about this very special place. Thank you, Susan and Emanuela! We hope we can be back soon.

College Reunion
We were six close friends coming to Italy for a 50th college reunion where we all met. Before heading to Roma we wanted to relax a bit at a Villa in Umbria. Villa Tripoli exceeded our expectations!! The owner graciously kept the pool open for us, even though it was October! Her numerous recommendations for travel ideas, shopping, in home chefs were excellent. If you rent this villa, take the time to read Susan's Notes on Villa Tripoli. Hopefully we will return!!
