Villas for sale Italy

The property is located on a hill overlooking both Tuscany and Umbria, as it sits on the border between these two beautiful regions thus offering spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. The complex comprises a main building and two annexes (forming like a tiny hamlet around a small square paved with cotto tiles), a large panoramic swimming pool, grounds measuring 7500 sqm with ancient tall mediterranean pines, cypress and olive trees, totally fenced.

Access to the property is through a main gate opening onto a tree-lines alley or a secondary gate at the back of the property (both gates are automated) , which gives access to the parking area and to the 40sqm garage located under the house with internal access to it.

The main building dates back to 1786 and has been totally and thoroughly restored and partly enlarged, with a 100 sqm extension in total harmony with the original building, built out of red bricks and cotto tiles, painstakingly cleaned and restored to their original splendour and replaced where missing.

During the renovation, the beautiful original vauls and arcades have been discovered and reinstated both on the front and inside the house. In the main house we have a ground and first floor with gallery overlooking the wide and impressive entrance hall with portico. On the ground floor we find a state-of –the-arts open kitchen with dining room in a veranda-style adjacent room, a formal dining room and a sitting room with beautiful vaulted ceilings, open fireplace and conservatory-style extension, one library, one room and a large guest bathroom with shower.

From the entrance hall we can access the open gallery and first floor via a large, beautiful staircase. On this floor, on one side of the open gallery we find the master bedroom with ensuite changing room and magnificent huge bathroom with jacuzzi tub, large shower cabinet and painting-like windows opening on the surrounding countryside. On the other wing, three more bedrooms, walk-in wardrobe and full bathroom with twin washbasins, washtub and shower.The house measures approx. 420sqm with porticoes for an additional 50 sqm.

The refurbishing has been done with outstanding taste and top materials, natural stones, brick and wood throughout, from the wooden beams of the ceilings and doors to the precious wooden floor of the first floor, to the sandstone paving the shower cabinets and bathrooms. On the ground floor an innovative, practical but stylish resin-based floor had been laid over the floor heating system (thus eliminating the need for unsightly radiators). All windows are double-glazed and non-reflective, the heating system runs on GPL gas and the house is provided with satellite tv and telephone with internet connection. All wiring is concealed. The external flooring is made with cotto tiles on the patio and pavements.

Both annexes, also in red brick and facing the patio, have been beautifully and completely restored like the main house and provide extra living-space or office-space. The largest one measures 75sqm, with a living room with kitchen corner on the ground floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom and a mezzanine floor for additional sleeping .

The smaller building , with beautiful external brick oven, also restored to its original beauty and perfectly functioning, measures 40sqm and comprises two areas joined by a small iron staircase and a bathroom. Ouside, next to the oven, there is a covered space for storing wood and a nice portico.

Both buildings have cotto tiles on the roof and external floor and fixtures and fittings of the same quality as those used in the main house.

The external swimming pool measures 6 x 12 m, is surrounded by a cotto-paved solarium and commandes beautiful views of the surrounding hills and fields. It nicely fits in the gardens, where a variety of shrubs, trees and bushes have been planted in respect with the surroundings and complete the existing majestic collection of century-old trees.

All three buildings are connected by pedestrian pavements e concrete stairs covered with bricks and brick tiles.

TRASIMENO

Lake Trasimeno or Trasimene (in Italian: Lago Trasimeno), is the largest lake in peninsular Italy with a surface area of 128 km/sq, just slightly less than that of Lake Como.

Historically, Trasimeno was known as "the lake of Perugia" and this name makes it easy to understand the importance that the lake has always had for the whole of north-western Umbria and for the Tuscan Chiana district. A significant battle took place on the north shore of the lake in April 217 B.C. during the Second Punic War.

There are three islands in the lake. The second largest, Isola Maggiore, is the only inhabited one. The small fishing village, which reached its height in the 14th century, today has only around thirty residents. Most of the buildings, including the ruins of a Franciscan monastery, date from the 1300's.

Trasimeno has all the characteristics of a great natural resource that should be rigorously protected and promoted for purposes compatible with its preservation. The inhabitants of the communes around Trasimeno and the Umbrian people have all, despite a wealth of difficulties, been successful in safeguarding their lake, whose waters are constantly fit for swimming and whose valleys and islands are intact territorial environments, therefore providing a mirror of a millenary past and a theme for a present suited to discovering a new means for man to interrelate with his habitats.

Castiglione del Lago is a town with a population of 14,186 (2001) people in the Province of Perugia of Umbria, on the southwest corner of Lake Trasimeno. Orvieto is 59 km. south, Chiusi is 21 km. to the west, Arezzo is 56 km. to the north, Cortona is 21 km. to the north and Perugia is 47 km. to the north east.

Castiglione del Lago, has evolved on what used to be an island - the fourth island of Lake Trasimeno, in its south west region. Over the centuries, as the town grew, the flat gap between the island and the shore was filled with piazzi, houses, churches, and other buildings.

The newest parts of the city are at some distance from the old, so the centro storico of Castiglione del Lago is a well preserved medieval locality that seems to be governed by a "law of threes". In the town walls there are three gates, inside the town there are three piazzi and three churches.

Early history

The Castiglione del Lago lies on the once important highway between Orvieto to the south, Chiusi to the west, and Arezzo to the north. Its position in this hotly disputed territory, pitting Etruscans against Romans, and later Tuscans against Perugians, inevitably brought a long cycle of death and destruction to the town. The original fortifications were destroyed and rebuilt on numerous occasions.

It was only during the reign of Frederick II, the Holy Roman Emperor that a period of relative stability ensued. It was he who ordered the building of the Castello del Leone - the Fortress of the Lion - during the 13th Century. The pentagonal-shaped castle, was completed in 1247 AD by the monk-architect Elia from Cortona.

The castle features square towers in four of its corners and a triangular (there\'s the number 3 again) shaped bastion, or donjon, known as the Mastio in the other. The castle was designed to give its owners strategic control over all of Lake Trasimeno. It has fulfilled its purpose well: the castle has withstood a number of sieges over the subsequent centuries.

Ultimately, the city fell under the control of Perugia, within the Papal States, becoming the fiefdom of the powerful Baglioni family. In 1550, Pope Julius III bestowed it upon his sister. In 1563, her son, Ascanio della Corgna, became the Marquis of Castiglione and Chiugi. The fiefdom became a prosperous, but short-lived Duchy in 1617. Duke Fulvio Allesandro died without heirs and the town was re-absorbed into the Papal States.

During his Marquiship, Ascania della Corgna built a Renaissance palazzo, designed by the architect Vignola, that in 1870 became the Palazzo del Comune (city hall) but which is now a civic museum and gallery. This palazzo is joined by a long, covered corridor to castle. Renaissance era frescoes by the Pescara-born artist Giovanni Pandolfi and the Florentine artist Salvio Savini adorn the main floor inside. In 1574, the artist Niccolo Circignani, "Il Pomarancio", added paintings and other decorations to one of the most interesting rooms in the palazzo, the so-called Room of the Exploits of the overlord, Ascanio della Corgna."

The newest parts of the city are at some distance from the old, so the centro storico of Castiglione del Lago is a well preserved medieval locality that seems to be governed by a "law of threes". In the town walls there are three gates, inside the town there are three piazzi and three churches.

The only other building of particular note is the finely stucco-ed Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, done on a Greek-cross plan. The church has a handsome, neo-classical pronaos and, inside, a panel painted in 1580 by Eusebio da San Giorgio.

The territory of the Trasimeno lake is rich of agritourismand farmhouses and it's an ideal place where to stay in an agritourism umbria or Umbria farmhouse. You can also stay at a Perugia agritourism, in a Agritourism Terni, or in a Agritourism Orvieto.
