Nestled on a hill, spectacular Tuscan countryside stretching as far as the eye can see. Within easy reach of Florence, Sienna and Cortona, not forgetting the spectacular Lake Bolsena. Just think ! Within minutes, you could be sitting on the lakeside, toasting a sunrise or a sunset. Equally, you need never move from the enormous roof terrace. Instead, gaze upon a lake, exquisitely beautiful landscape, pitted and dotted by monasteries, olive groves and vineyards, tiny villages, sunflower fields..... swifts snd swallows swooping and squeaking overhead, a gentle draft caressing your hot skin, drifting from the deep blue lake. A red sun searing its mirrored surface. A silver moon beaming into its inky depths. This is the place of dreams. The stomping ground of the world’s finest treasures. The finest foods .... panzanella, pecorino, a cool flute of Chianti, salamis, white truffle..... It’s no wonder Italy’s cuisine is the finest in the world. Certainly, outside of Italy, it’s the most expensive. But, here, immersed in the Umbrian/Tuscan countryside, your wallet will remain unchallenged. In this area, you gorge on world class cuisine. You’ll find yourself sitting alongside farm workers, artists, writers, Lamborghini drivers, celebrities, both foreign and home grown, as well as aristocracy - everyone eating together in local restaurants, trattorias and pizzerias. Everyone united by a sensual spirituality offered in abundance in this area. In short, this is the ideal place to spend your holiday in privacy and tranquility. We are unobtrusively available to assist and advise. Nothing is ever too much trouble for us. Our sole objective is to make this holiday truly and fabulously memorable for you! PLEASE NOTE : We offer this villa as a fabulous holiday location between May 1 and Oct 31, the best period for pool and outdoor jacuzzi use! While we enjoy great weather in this 6 month period, It is possible that towards the beginning and the end of this period, you may wish to use central heating. Further, in the hotter periods, you may wish to use the air con. In Italy, much of our energy is imported. So, from an ecological perspective, we decided to discourage our guests from using either central heating or Aircon AT THE SAME TIME AS KEEPING WINDOWS AND DOORS OPEN (yes, this was happening frequently!). Therefore, if your use of either exceeds “normal consumption”, you will be charged. However, when doors and windows remain shut, it is highly unlikely you will incur a charge. These facilities are metered and are entirely under your control. Since we introduced this measure, guests have been very happy. To date, no one has paid an extra charge. And we have all done our bit towards preserving the earth’s resources. MARRIAGES + OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS : If you’re wanting to marry in Italy, this villa provides the perfect location, both inside and outside - see the photos of a room prepared for a wedding. Here there is a 9th bathroom - only in use when this special events room is hired. We can provide whatever you require. The basic wedding fee for the service, to include the official documentation and the Special Events room, is 600 euros. The wedding feast and general celebrations can be as simple or as grand as you like. Tell us your budget and we will advise you accordingly. The same applies to any special event eg an anniversary, a birthday or a family/friend reunion. DETAILS OF THE VILLA : In Lazio, just over the Umbrian border into Tuscany, this enormous luxury villa consists of 4 self catering, independent apts. Each of the 4 apartments has : a private terrace with dining furniture a washing machine a fully equipped kitchen that includes a hob, a dishwasher + a microwave 2 bathrooms, each with hairdryer The largest of the 4 terraces is next to the pool and the jacuzzi. Here, we set up dining facilities to seat up to 24 persons to eat alfresco. And, this is where guests love to be, when not sunbathing or swimming. With one exception! Prior to dinner, sundowners on the enormous roof terrace is an absolute joy. The views from this elevated position are world class. A sparkling blue lake. A vast orange streaked sky. Purple hills, tips tinged pink. Creeping shadows of dusk beckoning a bright starlit night. What better way to celebrate a fiery sunset? To toast a silver moon! To pay homage to the creator of this magical mystery. Our universe. Yes, this villa offers everything that the word “Italy” conjures up. This is Italy at its purest. WHAT TO DO : Wake up each day to lazing besides the pool .... or plan day trips. Viterbo and Orvieto, both with fascinating histories, are within easy reach. Explore the Tuscan coast. Or the Umbrian mountains, home to porcupine, white cows with tingling bells, black squirrels, wild horses, wolves and the fabled black bear. Yes, as I was once warned by the chief of police, who, after many long hours, along with several official search parties, had found me clinging to a precipice..... “Never forget these are REAL mountains. Never deviate from the marked trails !”. After that experience, some 20 years ago, I advise you likewise!! Maybe an easy day trip to Rome. Or stay local. A cathedral, bars and restaurants are a mere stone's throw away at Montefiascone.
