IT1290 Poggio sul Lago

Lakeview farmhouse Umbria/ Tuscany border – From its hilltop position above Lake Trasimeno, this lovely country farmhouse commands striking views over the blissful Umbrian countryside, especially at sunset when dramatic red and gold skies are reflected in the waters of the lake.

Built with natural stone and thick chestnut beams, Poggio sul Lago offers original charm combined with all indoor modern comforts. The tasteful use of local materials and architectural elements inspired by a rural tradition make this villa a very pleasant place to spend your family holidays surrounded by unspoilt countryside and genuine Italian culture. A long covered porch extends the entire length of the house and gives access to each room on the ground floor through several sets of French doors: an ideal spot for your dinners al fresco, evening cocktails and lazy morning breakfasts. A panoramic terrace by the pool area offers ample space for relaxing and enjoying the view of the lake and Polvese island in total tranquillity.

The surrounding area is one of the most beautiful in Central Italy and yet off the beaten track of mass tourism. As well as a fully equipped beach at Lake Trasimeno, just over a mile from Poggio sul Lago, there are many towns and villages with historic interest, artistic value and gastronomic delights. Within the Umbrian border you will find Perugia, whose summer Jazz music Festival is renowned all around the world, Spoleto, Assisi and Todi, rich in Medieval charm. Beyond the Tuscan border are Cortona, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Siena and Florence, all within easy reach of this Italian vacation villa.
