Driving through the perfectly lined cypress trees to reach this villa is the stuff of dreams. This is Italian countryside living at its best, blending charming rural surroundings with a luxurious, gold-hued home. Not only is it beautiful, but the villa also overlooks Lake Bolsena – just head up to the terracotta-tiled terrace for delightful views. This special home is not one you’ll forget in a hurry – you don’t need to just take our word for it, the Times named it as one of their top 10 villas in Italy. Stepping inside, you’ll find a traditional interior that nurtures the country-house feel. The characterful home is a lovely space to take solace from the mid-day sun, while the cheerful kitchen was made for families to enjoy preparing meals together. Double doors lead you out to the terrace – the perfect spot for morning coffees, admiring the pretty fauna and foliage that surround you. You’ll love spending blissful days by the pool. The hours melt away as you soak up the sun, catch up on your book, and occasionally take dips to cool off. If you fancy a change of scenery, Lake Bolsena and its swimming, kayaking, and boating are just... 6 miles away. Sitting pretty on the cusp of Lazio and Tuscany, you’re in an enviable position. Take countryside walks through farms, forests, and valleys, and explore delightful ancient hamlets. Both regions are known for their wine tasting – your lovely host can arrange vineyard tours so you can decide which you prefer.
