Vacation Rental Description
Nestled in woodland in a south-facing hilly position with a charming view of Preggio, this villa in fenced gardens, surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, offers seclusion without isolation. Furnished in a rustic style with care and attention to guest’s comfort, the large rooms are flooded with light and cooled by the fresh mountain air; those facing south enjoy wonderful views of lush, forested hills, and the nearby village. Each floor in the two-storey villa is a self-contained apartment with separate entrance, lounge/diner, kitchenette, 3 bedrooms and sofa bed. This will give maximum privacy for you and your guests. Each lounge is furnished with sofas and easy chairs, and has a large open fireplace.
The upper floor sleeps 4 + 1, having one double bedroom, two single bedrooms, and a single sofa bed in the lounge. The lower floor sleeps 6 + 2, having two double bedrooms (one with separate entrance), another bedroom with two bunk beds, and a double sofa bed in the lounge.
A wonderful location to simply relax by the pool and enjoy the ambience of the secluded location and surrounding countryside. The pool, 10 by 5 metres, is 25 metres from the house on its own sunny terrace. 90cm at the shallow end, 3m at deepest point, complete with 10 sun beds, and parasols.
The one hectare of mature gardens is completely fenced. The east loggia outside has a large dining table, 12 chairs, and a wood/charcoal barbecue. On the north side a small terrace with table and chairs enjoys views from the shade of the house. On the west side is a large paved area and parking for up to 4 cars. Entrance is by electrically operated double gates in wrought iron, or via a small wooden side gate, giving privacy and security.
Outside of High Season it may be possible to rent a single apartment if desired. Please email for details.
Facilities
The modern fitted kitchens are furnished to a high standard with quality electrical and gas appliances. Both kitchens have oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge-freezers. The upstairs kitchen is particularly impressive with a large freezer, and microwave oven. Outside under the loggia there is a large BBQ for cooking al fresco, together with numerous tables and chairs.
Activities
The countryside is excellent for walking; the immediate area offers shady walks, with views over the Niccone Valley and Lake Trasimeno. A trail to medieval Castel Rigone, 9km/6 miles; another along the Tiber River near Umbertide, 17km/11 miles (20 minutes). Preggio, 2 km/1.5 mile, offers a restaurant, two bars, a post office and general store. Castel Rigone offers bars, a supermarket and pharmacy, and a major church, the Madonna dei Miracoli. Banks (ATM) can be found at Mantignana or Mercatale (15 minutes). Lake Trasimeno has beaches, boating and water sports at Passignano sul Trasimeno, (20 minutes). Golf courses are at Antognola (30 minutes), Perugia (35 minutes), Panicarola (40 minutes) and Valdichiana (1 hour); tennis is available in Mercatale; horse riding available 15 mins away. Also available locally are the services of a qualified professional masseur (after the horse-riding!).
Owner Location Comment
Monte Murlo lies in the hills of northern Umbria close to Preggio, a charming hilltop village with it's own famous music festival in August, and a chestnut festa in October. Casa Peonia is a great base for exploring northern Umbria and the nearby towns of Tuscany. The railway station at Terontola (30km) can be used for fast trains to Florence and Rome.
A restaurant (The Bellona) is within 500 metres of the house. The restaurant in Preggio village, "La Castagna", is highly regarded, specializing in tartufo (truffle) dishes.
The Italian owners of Casa Peonia can arrange for home cooked pizzas, or local Umbrian speciality dishes, (including tartufo) to be cooked to order and delivered to your apartment, together with local wines, ready to eat.
Painting lessons can be arranged with a local art teacher (Italian).

- Travel Info: A car is essential to make the most of your holiday in this rural area, as public transport is limited. However a pickup and drop off at the airport or railway station can be arranged if required (at extra cost). The nearest airport is San Egidio (Perugia). Ryanair now fly into Perugia (San Egidio) from Stansted 3 or 4 days per week. Ryanair and Easyjet have flights into Pisa, which although some 3 hours drive away, is mostly on easy dual-carriageway, and is probably the easiest airport to use from many parts of the UK. Rome, Bologna Forli, and Ancona airports are all around 2 hours drive away. Umbertide railway station is only 20 minutes away by road, whilst Terontola, on the main Rome to Firenze route, is some 30 minutes drive away. To Get Here From San Egidio From San Egidio take E45 north; exit at Umbertide; drive north through town and take the left turn signposted “Preggio 18km” (under railway). Follow this road until arriving at junction signposted Castel Rigone (left) and Preggio (right). At this point there is another minor (white) road on the right immediately before the road for Preggio. Take this and follow for 1km, where you will find Casa Peonia on the left. To Get Here From The A1 From A1, exit Valdichiana and follow the Raccordo (dual carriageway) east towards Perugia. Exit at the second Passigano exit (East). Turn left following signs for Castel Rigone. After 2km take the left turn for Castel Rigone, climbing the hills with views of Lake Trasimeno behind you. In Castel Rigone continue straight on towards Preggio, passing the outstanding church on the left. After 10km arrive at a junction signposted Umbertide (right) and Preggio (left). At this point there is another minor (white) road immediately in front of you. Take this and follow for 1km, where you will find Casa Peonia on the left. Upon arrival the Italian owners, who live nearby, will meet you. They will endeavour to ensure all your holiday needs are addressed. An English-speaking associate is also available.

"Thanks for the fantastic week we had at Casa Peonia.
Eleven friends with kids, this place was perfect for us, enough rooms for each family to have its own pace and comfort.
The location is really beautiful, this region of Italy is gorgeous and local people very kind.
This end of October the colors of the coming autumn are just incredible. Forests and trees seemed to be on fire.
It has been very easy and pleasant to manage this rental with you . Thanks for your kindness and your diligence ! Hope we'll come to Casa Peonia again.
Warm regards
Regis & Charlotte Vincie, Paris, France
