Casa Collina

Just enjoy the Italian life in this cosy villa. Here you will feel at home and don't want to leave anymore.

This typical Umbrian local stone exposed country house, positioned in the middle of an olive grove and surrounded by a vineyard, was built in May 2010 under Project Management of Specialumbria. The pool and garden boast wonderful views across stunning Umbrian countryside towards the towns of Panicale, Montepulciano and Lake Trasimeno. Tuscany is a mere stone’s throw away and this house would be the perfect spot from which to enjoy all the delights that both Tuscany and Umbria have to offer.

This true beautiful and cosy villa has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a nice open space living area with modern kitchen and swimming pool (5 x 10 meters), positioned just below the house in the old vineyard. The house is surrounded by a nice mature garden. The house has exposed old beamed ceilings and beautiful terracotta floors.

The interior is done in a traditional, but light style, with a good mix between old wood and some modern elements which makes the house a comfortable place where you will immediately feel at home.

Casa Collina is part of a small residential area of independent houses and villas of similar quality at only 2 kilometers distance from the old town of Piegaro.

Casa Collina is under exclusive Specialumbria Property Management.
