Castiglione
Casa
Castiglione is a stone and brick built house completely restored
in the last five years. It is just outside our main area, on the
western side of Lake Trasimeno making it very well placed for touring
both Tuscany and Umbria.
It
is a few minutes drive to Castiglione del Lago, always very popular
with English visitors and where there are a variety of restaurants,
a lively open air market on Wednesdays, a large supermarket as well
as the usual attractions of a walled town built mainly in the middle
ages.
From
Castiglione there are ferry services to Isola Maggiore on the lake
which has no cars and is a lovely place for lunch.
The
house is completely private and detached, surrounded by arable farmland
given over mainly to sunflowers and corn. There is a lawned garden
with a 12x6m swimming pool.
The
access to the house serves only one other villa further down the
road so there is complete privacy. There is ample parking space
for three or four cars.
The
ground floor has two distinct areas in an open plan design. On the
entry side of the house is a large sitting room which is two steps
above a kitchen and dining area that runs the full length of the
house. Doors open out on to a covered terrace for al fresco dining:
barbecue, dining table etc. Also on the ground floor is a double
bedroom with marble en suite bathroom with shower and separately,
a cloakroom with WC, basin and washing machine.
On
the upper floor: 2 twin bedrooms, one with its own balcony and a
further 2 marble bathrooms, plus a large and beautifully appointed
master bedroom with a traventino en suite bathroom with bath &
shower.
The
outside terrace, garden and pool are floodlit at night. The pool
is open May to September.
It
is well placed for seeing Tuscany and Umbria :
Within on hour are Cortona (20 minutes), Siena (45) Pienza (30),
Assisi (50) Orvieto (40), Perugia (35), Montepulciano (25). Florence
takes just over an hour by car but is best by train as is Rome which
is about two hours; both easy day trips.
