Overview
If you are planning to travel to the breathtaking Italian region of Umbria with a group of family members or friends, Villa La Rocca is the perfect choice. This elegant and exclusive house has been slowly and lovingly constructed by its owner. The result is a stunning property, divided in to four apartments which share communal spaces and a vast, landscaped garden. Up to ten guests can enjoy a holiday here in comfort.
Set over two floors which are connected by a lift, Villa La Rocca’s four separate apartments are ideal for small families or couples travelling together as the layout affords privacy. You will be able to come together as a group in the large events room which has a snooker table, table football, lots of seating space and a kitchen. The communal areas also include a gym, laundry room, games room and a beautiful wine cellar.
Each of the apartments has been decorated with the highest quality materials and fittings, each has its own style and a neutral colour palette which allows the raw materials and the views through the vast windows to take the limelight. As well as offering sumptuous design, the home also boasts all of the facilities you could need, including Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, Smart TVs with Netflix and incredible bathrooms with either hot tub-style jets or a Turkish bath.
The largest of the apartments is Apartment One which has two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with a double sofa-bed. Both bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms. This apartment sits over two floors, with the bedrooms upstairs and the modern kitchen, dining room, living room and a sun room downstairs. This dwelling is big enough that your whole party could gather here in the evenings.
Each of the other apartments feature an open-plan living and dining space with a kitchen and a double sofa-bed, with one double bedroom and one or more contemporary bathrooms. All of the apartments open out on to a private terrace where you can walk out in to the wider grounds.
The eye for detail inside the home continues outdoors and you will find yourself in lush, landscaped grounds with lawned areas, flower beds and even a carefully preserved oak tree from the 1600s. The best feature of the garden is of course the large, private swimming pool which looks out over the surrounding hills and Assisi in the distance. If you prefer to dine al-fresco, there is a summer kitchen and a number of covered dining spaces in the garden for you to choose from.
You will not have to travel far to enjoy a croissant and a coffee in a pretty town square as the historic town of Assisi is just 2km away. Packed with shops, restaurants and historic attractions, Assisi is a fantastic place to have so close and you could visit a few times without running out of things to see and do.
Sleepy hilltop villages and serene walking routes are also easily reached from the town. Alternatively, you could drive a little further to the city of Perugia which is 26km away.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa La RoccaLocated on a leafy hillside, a stone’s throw away from Assisi’s historic centre, Villa La Rocca enjoys an enviable setting where you can spend some days in town and others getting to know the nearby natural surroundings such as national parks and Lake Trasimeno.
Villa La Rocca is located on the outskirts of the historic town of Assisi which is 2km away. The town is a picturesque place known as the birthplace of Saint Francis of Assisi and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The most famous attraction here is the Basilica built in honour of the saint in 1228, the incredible building is a must see and is filled with amazing frescoes by early Renaissance artist Giotto. A lovely way to see the Basilica as well as ancient churches such as the Tempio di Minerva and Roman sites around town is by taking a walking tour or a bicycle tour with a local guide.
The town also has a great range of shops, a number of markets including flea markets, antique markets and those selling fresh breads and vegetables. Dotted around the pretty streets there are also a wealth of bars, cafes and restaurants. If you prefer to cook for yourself, you could always take an Umbrian cookery class to learn how to make some delicious regional dishes. You can take part in wine tasting at the villa or at nearby wineries to find the best wines to pair with your meals.
Assisi is not the only place you can visit nearby. Discover the charms of Perugia, the capital city of Umbria, which is 26km away by car. Starting at the main square, The Piazza IV Novembre, you can head out on foot, wandering around the bustling city streets, shops and eateries. Some of the attractions here include the imposing Palazza dei Priori, a pink stone palace built in the 11th century and the huge National Gallery. A unique place to visit is the Rocca Paolina, a castle constructed in the 1540s. The castle has many floors, some of which are underground, which create a winding, maze of underground rooms you can explore. Perguia is also famous for its chocolate making, chocolate lovers can visit the museum and factory or buy some tasty bars at the local shops.
In addition to the character-filled towns and villages of Umbria, the area is also home to wide open outdoor spaces and natural attractions. Close to the home you could opt to trek up the 961m high Monte Tezio, or for something a little less taxing you could walk along trails which belong to ancient pilgrim routes.
For a day at the beach filled with watersports and sunbathing you could visit Lake Trasimeno which is 47km away.
Keen golfers in your group will be pleased to know that you can visit the exclusive Antognolla golf resort, which is 45km away and has an 18-hole golf course, bicycle hire, tennis courts and restaurants.

Best Suited For: All AgesNestled in Italy’s ‘green heart’, Umbria is a breathtakingly beautiful area to explore with children. With countless trails through lush parkland to discover plus charming towns to visit for pizza you will never be short of something to do.
Though the villa is located inland, next to the town of Assisi, you do not have to miss out on a day at the beach. If your little ones enjoy splashing in clear water, building sandcastles and eating plenty of ice-cream then why not spend a day at Lake Trasimeno, which has a number of lake beaches dotted around its shores. With changing facilities, sun loungers and restaurants close by, the lake is a favourite with families. If you would like to head out on to the water, you could take a boat trip to one of the islands or you can try out water sports like paddleboarding. The lake is 47km away, roughly a 40-minute-drive.
