About this house rental

October Special: Experience a taste of local tradition! All guests that book during October will receive a complimentary welcome bottle of Vin Santo paired with cantuccini biscuits to enjoy during their stay.

Just a few minutes drive from Castiglione Del Lago and Lake Trasimeno.

Enjoy all the space of a private country house at a fraction of the cost of a pooled villa.

For family, for friends, for artists!

Close to the border, explore both Tuscany and Umbria from this private retreat.

Florence is easily reachable from the local train station, Cortona and Montepulciano are each 30 minutes away.

​Our 4 bedroom home sleeps up to 8 and is on the first floor, until recently downstairs was just for animals, though occasionally you will find us there.

We're a 8 minute drive from Castiglione Del Lago, with its fantastic views of Lake Trasimeno, and beaches from where you can take a dip.



Castiglione is chock full of great restaurants and cafes, along with a medieval castle to explore.

Along with Cortona and Montepulciano, there are countless beautiful hill towns, that make for easy visits.



An hour away, you have Assisi, Siena and Arezzo, each great Renaissance treasures.​



There's free parking at the local station that has direct trains to both Florence and Rome.​


Alas not appropriate for the infirm and those requiring wheelchair access.

Originally two houses, these were knocked into one when we bought it back in 1982.

Every room in the house is a different shape, but they all have wooden beamed ceilings, and a view of the countryside.

The kitchen is brand new, with a new sink, hob and oven. It has lots of working space, the whole family can prepare in there at the same time!

The living room is all funny angles and very individual. It has two brand new sofas, and a large wood burning stove.

Be warned, there's a good chance you'll see spiders and other insects!

Guest access
There is a large patio area at the rear of the house overlooking the garden, please make full use of it and the garden.

The front balcony is a great place for everything from breakfast to after dinner drinks.

Other things to note
You will definitely need your own transport, we recommend hiring a car from the airport for the best rates.

This is a very old house, you can't have too many electrical appliances on at the same time.
Once aware this is easy to work around.

Jeremy is a friendly host and his farmhouse lives up to the tranquil billing! Close to the lake, Cortona and Citta della Pieve. Comfortable beds, bathrooms are fine and the kitchen is great for cooking and a nice meal
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
Host was quick to respond to questions and concerns and offered great advice about the location. He understood our concerns and the house, though a bit tiny for our families of 8, was well appointed and had everything we needed...especially being big cooks.Only challenges were that it took two nights before the house truly warmed up with the heaters and the wonderful fire (it was very cold out...and can't blame the host for that!) And, being big cooks, when we would use oven as well as the stovetop at the same time for a meal, and with other electricity on in the house the breakers/fuse box would shut off. It made two nights of our stay a bit difficult to time our big "at home" dinners. Overall, very cozy, comfortable and it was a great location for us as it was only 10 min. from our new home in Castiglione Del Lago! Thank you!

Nice relaxed location, a generous sized cottage with all the amenities, and excellent feedback from the client if we had queries. A perfect stay
