Taking up a significant patch of lush land in a small Umbrian village near the Tuscan border, this villa is spread across the main house and annexe, making it the perfect destination for family reunions or intimate events. The traditional interior is what you'd expect from an older Sicilian home, and though some might find it a little outdated, it's a fair trade for the ample space, inside and out, and a private gym and spa. Admire the Lisciano Niccone hills from the private pool or the patio tables – ideal for alfresco dining before driving to Castello di Lisciano or Lake Trasimeno.
