Private holiday villa in Umbria for rent: La Villa

Beautiful and incredibly spacious villa or countryhouse on the Tuscany Umbria border, with 5 ensuite bedrooms and 20 hectares of land. La Villa's thick old walls provide a naturally cool atmosphere in summer and protect against the cold in winter. La Villa has been turned into an agriturismo (farm holiday rental), with the big difference that here you can rent the whole 400 m2 house to enjoy your farm holiday in comfort and privacy. The unique salt water pool is a joy to swim in and provides views over the Umbrian hills you will never forget. The caretaker will give you anything you like from the extensive vegetable garden and can show you all the animals, the olive trees, the chestnut wood, the vineyard and the fruit trees. Rent this villa 6 months ahead and you receive a 10% discount!
