Overview
Surrounded by gentle landscapes of rolling hills in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, this traditional Italian villa enjoys a picturesque setting not far from the border with Tuscany.
With its pretty blue shutters and terracotta pots of summer geraniums, Vila Le Cegile exudes Italian charm and authenticity. Just imagine relaxing beneath the covered terrace with a morning coffee or evening glass of Umbrian wine embracing those countryside views. If staying with children, there is ample room to play across the spacious grounds whilst the swimming pool and its attractive poolside terrace is fenced off at the edge of the garden.
Inside, alongside the welcoming lounge and dining area, prepare delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen with contemporary appliances before retiring to sleep in one of the five inviting bedrooms, each with its own en suite shower room and one on the ground floor also featuring a bath. Air-conditioning is featured throughout the home.
Across the region explore charming little medieval villages, enjoy peaceful walks or fishing at Lago di Pietrafitta, admire the palazzi and artwork of gorgeous Città della Pieve and dine out in characterful osterie experiencing the simple yet such wonderful cuisine of Umbria. Sample chocolate in Perugia, wine in beautiful Orvieto and cross the border into southern Tuscany for more gastronomic delights with gems such as Cetona, Sartean, Montepulciano, Pienza and Cortona.
Back in Umbria, spend time by Lago Trasimeno with its lakeside beaches, walking and biking trails, summer watersports, boat trips and the lovely town of Castiglione del Lago. Further afield you could even venture to Arezzo, Siena, Florence and Rome or simply stay closer to your home to appreciate the Umbrian beauty all around you.

Lake Trasimeno is another fantastic day out – start off by visiting one of Italy’s ‘most beautiful villages’, Castiglione del Lago (26km), then take a summer boat trip across the lake or partake in a range of seasonal water-based activities.
