Villa Federica

The jewels in Umbria’s crown, Perugia and Assisi, are within striking distance of Villa Federica, an inviting and well-kept villa with larger than average swimming pool.  Combine visits to these two beautiful places, as well as a myriad of charming villages and the nearby waters of Lake Trasimeno, with days spent relaxing by and in the impressive pool – a combination which we are sure will appeal to those seeking a base for a holiday in Umbria, the ‘cuore verde’ (green heart) of Italy. 

Without doubt, the pool at Villa Federica is the focal point. At 15m, it is one of the longer pools in our portfolio, appreciated by serious swimmers.  Families with young children will appreciate the shallow section of the pool and all will enjoy the large sunbathing terrace surrounding the pool with views over the orchard below. Pine and oak trees in the garden provide canopies of dappled shade during the summer and   

Ideal for a couple or family with children, the crisp white walls, tiled floors and light filled rooms create a refreshing sense of space in the interior.  Two of the bedrooms benefit from French windows opening out onto a terrace and access to the garden, the third bedroom has bunkbeds suitable for children.  

Steeped in history dating back to the Etruscan era, the vibrant city of Perugia offers museums, culture, shops, restaurants and bars in its piazzas and narrow streets. In contrast, Assisi offers quiet contemplation in the world famous Basilica di San Francesco surrounded by nature. Make sure to explore the national park of Monte Subasio, behind Assisi, ideal for walkers and nature lovers.   Hilltop villages such as Corciano, Torgiano and Bettona are waiting to be discovered, Lake Trasimeno offers water-based activities and for longer days out, head to Gubbio and Città di Castello.
