Casa Azzurra

Rooms description

In total the house has 4 separate bedrooms. The first floor hosts 3 bedrooms all with double beds and more than enough built in cupboard space to store luggage, clothes and personal belongings. All bedrooms are luxurious and breathe the same modern design feeling as the ground floor area. In the main bedroom a large flat screen satellite TV is positioned, built in the wall. In the cellar a separate and exceptional large bedroom is located with large window and separate spacious walk in closet.

The house is provided with excellent sanitary services. At the first floor the guest bathroom has a separate shower, double sink, toilet and bidet. The main bathroom on this floor is directly (and only) accessible via the main bedroom and has a separate shower, single sink, toilet and bidet at its disposal. Both bathrooms are exceptionally decorated with luxurious tiling of Bisazza. At ground floor living room level a separate guest toilet is located where downstairs an open bathroom area is part of the fourth bedroom. This truly spectacular bathroom not only has its own sink made of local stone, but has also a separate freestanding bathtub and water tap against an uplighted wall completely made out of local stone. Here is no separate shower, but a hand shower in the bathtub.

The kitchen, completely white, is located a few steps higher up the living room. A large modern wooden table with 8 comfortable wite leather chairs forms the center of this modern kitchen equipped with all the latest cooking luxury. From here an internal staircase leads to the first floor.

The living room is designed with the latest highly modern furniture. An open fireplace, TV and audio set are obviously part of this area. From here one has truly spectacular views in two directions on the beautiful hillsides south of Lake Trasimeno. The attractive medieval village of Panicale is perched on one of them as a perfect landmark. Also several glimpses of the Lake itself can be enjoyed to the fullest.

Downstairs at cellar level a separate washing machine and dryer can be found built in a cupboard. Directly behind the kitchen is a separate storage room that can be accessed from outside. Here all necessary technical equipment (heating system, water pressure and softening machine) is installed.

Your villa and Covid-19

To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

• To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
• To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
• To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request

• For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
