This newly-renovated home is a touch of modern luxury in the heart of the Italian countryside. Standing proud amidst the sea of green hillside, it provides unbridled privacy and relaxation. Such is the seclusion, you'll feel like the only people in the Chiana Valley. But don't feel like that private tranquility means you're isolated from the charming towns of Italy. Cortano is just a few minutes away, a collection of cosy cafes and authentic restaurants. Travel slightly further and you'll reach the stunning Lake Trasimeno – we recommend settling here for the evening to bask in the beauty of sunset. Of course, you're welcome to spend your days moseying around your grand home. The natural stone exterior faces out onto a huge stretch of greenery that belongs solely to you. On the glorious summer afternoons, lounge by the pool with a glass of wine, taking occasional dips in the fresh water. If you want to know the origins of the wine, there are cellar tours available. But if you'd prefer to keep things low-key, just collect some goods from the shop and share food and drink in the intimate BBQ area.
