- About The Experience
- Explore both Umbria and eastern Tuscany from this ancient farmhouse near Lake Trasimeno. Easy day trips include Perugia, Assisi, Cortona, Arezzo, and Lake Trasimeno. A small village with a grocery store is less than 2 km away. The farmhouse accommodation with three living rooms, a games room, and pool, is perfect for a family vacation.
- Location Description
- The property is located less than two kilometers from the medieval village of Agello. Although small, Agello has shops, a market, a pharmacy, and a gas station. Lake Trasimeno, Perugia, and Cortona are easily accessible from the farmhouse. Since the settlement of the Etruscans, Perugia has been a place of major importance. Its high position over the Tiber Valley put it in a key military position, which is why it has been the site of many political and military struggles throughout history. Today it remains a spot of rich historical traditions and architecture spanning centuries. Just a few examples: ancient walls from the original Etruscan city; a 12th century fountain; the 14th century Palazzo dei Priori; and the 15th century Cathedral of San Lorenzo. The list goes on and on. Any visit to Perugia should also include a stroll along the Corso Vannucci. Suffice to say you'll never run out of things to see here! Other day trips can include Cortona, Arezzo, Assisi and Siena.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
Our group of six (three adult couples) had a wonderful time!
Enjoyed Most:
There was a beautiful view and you really feel like you are getting away from it all and getting into a non-touristy part of Italy.
Enjoyed Least:
The spacious four bedrooms offer accommodation for lots of guests, but the two common areas in the house aren't big enough for the same number to lounge comfortably. You'll have to go outside and down to the reading room or to the outbuilding that's been converted to a game room for that.
Surrounding Area:
Great locations for easy day trips!
Nearby Events or Locales:
Agello was the nearest small town. You could walk distance-wise, but the road is narrow and there are no sidewalks. We drove.
Tips or Restaurants:
There were no cleaning amenities that many American rentals typically come with like dish soap, dishwasher soap, and hand soap for the bathrooms, so stock up on those at the store.
Directions:
Directions to the town square where we met the caretaker were easy to follow.
Check In Out:
The very friendly and welcoming Roberto, who checked us in and out of the house, didn't speak any English, and we spoke no Italian, but we managed to figure everything out that we needed.
Janine, September, 2012
Overall:
The property was better than we expected - larger, more room and wonderfully private.
Enjoyed Most:
The outdoor space - eating "al fresco" every day - enjoying the fresh figs from the beautiful and grand fig tree in the middle of the backyard.
Enjoyed Least:
August is hot and the rooms were very hot throughout the nights. The guests on the second floor found it almost unbearable.
Surrounding Area:
Although Agello is not a tourist town, the villa is well located to some of the most remarkable towns, cities, food and wine in Italy! Siena was an hour away. Orvieto 70 minutes. Gubbio 80 minutes.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The villa is situated just outside of Agello which is an easy 10 minute walk to get cappuccino at the Circolo bar or groceries at the Alimentari Margherita.
Tips or Restaurants:
The kitchen was relatively well suited to cooking. We had a great experience getting our meal with the many Italians who vacation in the Lago Trasimeno area at the Hotel Faliero - Torta Al Testo, gnocchi, tagliatelle etc.
Check In Out:
The property manager Roberto, was wonderful. Although he spoke no English he was warm, accommodating and took very special care of us.
Victor, August, 2012
Overall:
It was wonderful, once in a lifetime experience! Never to be forgotten.
Enjoyed Most:
It was everything we hoped for, serene, inviting and the pool was so welcome in the heat!
Enjoyed Least:
There was nothing!
Surrounding Area:
We loved the views, the people and the quiet of the property. Yet it was close enough to towns to explore, go shopping and sightsee.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The neartest town was Agello. It wasn't really close enough to walk to but only 3 minutes by car.
Tips or Restaurants:
I took the advice given and brought re-sealable plastic bags. The owners of the property were wonderful and gave us a number of restaurants in the area.
Directions:
A GPS would have been a great idea but my husband is wonderful with directions and anyone we asked for help were so friendly and tried to assist us in any way.
