Secluded 17th century villa in 40 acres with pool, tennis court, truffle woods

Casivieri sits at the end of a valley, promising absolute privacy, in an idyllic setting of 40 acres with truly incredible views. Absolute peace and privacy is guaranteed as the villa is set well away from any road within grounds that include a impeccable tennis court, ruffle wood, olive groves, wild flower meadows, streams and a rich variety of fruit trees. Following many years of neglect the villa has been beautifully restored preserving the classic qualities of the structure, while making a superbly finished and luxurious home. If you can tear yourself away from the pool and tennis court, the local towns of Citta di Castello, San Sepulcro, Monterchi and Anghiari are flush with adventures promising an unforgettable Italian experience. If that's not enough Florence, Perugia, Sienna, Assisi and the enormous Lake Trasimano are all within easy reach.

Understanding Umbria: Umbria is famous for its contrasts, stunning food, a rich tapestry of medieval towns, wonderful lake side beaches, brilliant walking and moutain climbing, couled with all the traditional images of Italy such as fields full of sun flowers and meadows awash with flowers.

The Managers, Marcello and Innes, will do anything they can to make your stay special. From additional housekeeping to a full time cook they know everyone and everything about the region.

The Climate: On the whole the region enjoys very comfortable weather. When is does get too hot Casivieri is situated up in the hills benefitting from the cool evening breeze.

The walls of the house are roughly four feet thick and all the windows are shuttered. On hot days the interior stays very cool allowing for pleasant uninterrupted sleep.
