This charming stone cottage with private pool is set in the verdant green countryside equidistant (a 30 minute drive) between two stunning Umbrian towns, Perugia and Todi. From days spent relaxing on the terrace to days out and about discovering both the well known jewels and the hidden gems of Umbria, Casa Bambu is a great choice.
Enclosed by trees and a bamboo (bambu) hedge, Casa Bambu has a large lawned garden and a delightful wraparound terrace. Decorated with pots teeming with flowers and plants and a glorious olive tree, the terrace is furnished for alfresco dining and relaxing and, we are sure, will be used morning through to night. From here, French doors lead into the house. The interior is traditional and simple, with tiled floors and the quintessential wood beams of an Umbrian property. With a bedroom and shower room on each floor, it is ideal for small groups, whether it be two couples or two friends.
The surrounding countryside, a patchwork of hills and trees, reveals tiny villages, walking and cycling trails and local restaurants serving delicious dishes and wine (the nearest being 950m away). Within a 20 minute radius are five of Italy’s most beautiful villages (I Borghi Piu Belli d’Italia): Torgiano, Bettona, Deruta, Montefalco, Giano dell’Umbria, each with its own unique characteristics. And whilst landlocked Umbria is known as the green heart of Italy, Lake Trasimeno is the place to go during the summer for watersports, boat trips, beaches and lakeside promenades, stopping every now and then for a gelato.
