Description

Lake-view villa with swimming pool in Castiglione del Lago, Perugia – Umbria Ref. CDL260 Set amongst the rolling hills that embrace Castiglione del Lago, where Umbria is bathed in light and Lake Trasimeno appears as a vast expanse of water nestled between olive groves and endless skies, stands a country villa with an instantly recognisable character. The façades, rendered in a warm Pompeian red, blend into the landscape with understated elegance: a home designed to embrace nature without sacrificing the convenience of local amenities, all within walking distance. The villa covers approximately 220 square metres over two storeys, plus a spacious attic, and is surrounded by a fenced garden of around 1,500 square metres. Here, the outdoor space takes centre stage: a porch overlooking the greenery, a wrought-iron pergola for al fresco dining, and, above all, a private 10 x 5-metre swimming pool with a sunbathing area, perfectly integrated into the landscape. Serving the garden, a small wooden outbuilding used as a pool plant room and tool shed adds a practical finishing touch to the layout. The interiors, which are bright and well laid out thanks to windows on several sides, are currently organised into two independent flats – an ideal solution for guests, extended family or flexible use – with the option of easily combining them into a single spacious residence. On the ground floor, the entrance leads into a cosy living area comprising a lounge, kitchen and study, as well as a bedroom and a bathroom: spaces that open naturally onto the garden and the swimming pool, making it simple and immediate to enjoy the house during the warmer months. Upstairs, a second living area with a dining room and kitchen is complemented by three bedrooms and a bathroom, whilst two panoramic terraces offer sweeping, memorable views of the lake and the surrounding countryside: the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a sunset in complete tranquillity. Built in 1966 and well maintained, the villa has been upgraded with features that enhance comfort and efficiency: a photovoltaic system, solar panels for hot water, air conditioning, an insulated roof, as well as a fireplace and a pellet stove (heating also available via natural gas). The property is offered fully furnished, ready to move into straight away. A property that combines aesthetics, location and functionality: perfect as a private residence, a high-end holiday home or an investment in one of Italy’s most beloved areas, where the landscape takes centre stage and everyday life becomes simple, bright and beautiful once more.
