Vecchia Casa farmhouse in Umbria
Holiday Home Description
Vecchia Casa is a self-catering holiday apartment or 2, just south of Lago Trasimeno, decorated in the traditional style using muted colours, antique furniture and natural materials. The entrance hall was once the cantina for making wine and above was the granary for the original farmers who lived here.
The mature garden features a shaded terrace, stairs lined in lavender, an organic orchard and vegetable garden, a haven for bees and butterflies. Within the garden is the original stone Pollaio/Hen House with a Forno/Bread Oven to one side, which guests may use on request. Seasonal produce from the garden is shared with our guests.
The apartment has lovely views of the surrounding hillside covered in woodland, olive groves and vineyards, where shepherds tend their sheep. Within walking distance is a small village with cafe and shops, and a secluded hill with views over Lago Trasimeno.
Within minutes from our door wild boar roam the woods at night, yet we are within 30 minutes of the bustling town of Perugia where Ryanair offer frequent flights to Stansted.

TESTIMONIALS:
We stayed at Vecchia Casa in April 2008, for a Romantic week-away (or so my Wife tells me). The exquisitely and thoughtfully appointed apartment, complete with antiques is the perfect base to relax or visit the numerous historic and beautiful hilltop towns and villages of Umbria and Tuscany.
Even a day trip to Rome was relaxing, as the mainline, Venice to Rome railway station is only a short 30 minutes drive away in "sleepy" Chiusi.
Great restaurants and a helpful "hostess" in Karen-Louise, ensures we will return to Umbria as soon as possible.

My husband and I stayed at Vecchia Casa for 5 days last May, 2006. We wanted a private and lovely stay in Umbria that would allow us to explore nearby areas including Tuscany. Vecchia Casa has all that and more. Karen, the energetic devoted proprietress was a wonderful hostess and we had all the privacy we needed in the tastefully constructed and decorated apartment that connects to her charming country house on a hillock in a tiny commune near Tavernelle. She helped us locate the markets and sites to visit including Panicale, Cortona, Assisi, and Perugia. One needs a car to explore the countryside, but in the entire 5 days of our rental we didn't need to fill up once with gas.
Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.
