ITALY, UMBRIA, PERUGIA, TUORO SUL TRASIMENO

With stunning open lake views, this 6 bedroom country villa with guest cottage, swimming pool, rose garden, and olive grove is for sale near Tuoro sul Trasimeno, Umbria.

It is a traditional rustic-style villa with spectacular views of Lake Trasimeno, on the border with Tuscany, and just 15 km from Cortona.

A historic site, the villa is built on the same hills of Hannibal’s famous 217 BC battle, when he ambushed and defeated the powerful Romans here.

This typical Umbrian-style country villa with guest cottage, built in the early 1800s, is 350 meters a.s.l and facing south, with enchanting views of Lake Trasimeno, and sits amongst 300 olive trees, some centuries old.

The property has over 30 varieties of roses from both Italy and England, and fruit trees including figs, walnuts, cherries and Kaki.

Surrounding the pool, which has Roman-style steps, is a terraced garden with more than 100 varieties of flowers and exotic shrubs, surrounding an outdoor kitchen with al fresco dining.

The exterior walls are partly in natural stone with a characteristic loggia on the first floor.

The interiors retain the original features and have high beamed ceilings and handmade terracotta floors.

The bathrooms have been recently renovated in travertine stone with the main bedroom’s bathroom boasting a Jacuzzi.

The entire building can be extended by a further 100 sqm/1976 sq ft.

On the exterior of the guest cottage a 50-year old wisteria provides a shady pergola for dining and relaxing.

The 600 m driveway is a combination of concrete and gravel, and all cars can easily access the property.

A fascinating property with romantic lake-views, in a private and quiet setting, ready to live in with family and friends or host tourists for their vacations in the heart of Italy.
