Location

This property sits high on the hillside on the north side of Lake Trasimeno overlooking Passignano.  Passignano (3km) has a wide range of shops.  Cortona and Perugia (30km) have a full range of shops and services.

Accommodation

Main House

This large stone-built casale has been beautifully and completely restored (between 1997 and 2000) maintaining all the original features; beamed ceilings, cotto floors, brick arches, etc.  It provides very flexible accommodation for the owners as parts can be shut off to provide separate guest accommodation.

ground floor

On this floor is a huge lounge dining room with brick arches.  Leading off from this is a kitchen.  Stairs lead up from the lounge to the first floor.  Under the loggia is a room used for storing sensitive bushes in winter and a door leads on into the caretaker's flat.  To the rear with separate accesses are a workshop, laundry room and cantina.

first floor

The first floor is reached either by internal staircase or by one of two external stone staircases.  The front staircase leads up to a covered loggia with picture window and on into a very pleasant living room with open fireplace.  To the rear of this steps lead up to the main kitchen.  To one side of the living room steps lead up into a hallway with the master bedroom and bathroom off from either side.  On from this are three large guest bedrooms, all with lake views, and two bathroom.

Annexe

The annexe lies in front and slightly below the main house and provides guest apartments and a glorious painting studio with a complete view of Lake Trasimeno and its three islands.

ground floor

Entrance doors lead into a large and well appointed kitchen/dining room.  From the kitchen a few steps lead up to a hallway and off from this is a bathroom, two double bedrooms and a study.

first floor

External steps lead up to the first floor of the annexe and into a spacious studio, currently used by the owner as an art studio.  To the front is a large picture window with pulley system to enable the window to be swung up and give a completely unhindered view of the lake. 

Land

The property is surrounded by an extensive piece of land with lawns, trees and a small wood of umbrella pines directly behind the house.  Beautifully positioned swimming pool overlooking the lake.  Large independent garage.

View

This must be the very best view we have seen and probably one of the best in Italy.  It looks south over Lake Trasimeno, the fourth largest lake in Italy, with its three islands and the peninsular of Castiglione del Lago all clearly visible (depending on the weather of course!).

Access

The property is accessed initially along a superb avenue of huge and ancient cypress trees and then the white road winds up the hillside to end at the property.  The road is a little rough in places but there are discussions between the owners of properties adjacent to the road to renovate it.  On arrival at the property there are electrically operated gates and the drive runs past the house, on to the garages and then back down to the entrance once more, as you can see from the aerial view. 

Services

Mains electricity.  Two wells.  Gas heating from gas storage tank.  Two septic tanks.
