Villa Martinazzi

This spacious, elegant and comfortable villa and glorious pool are perfect for those seeking a taste of la dolce vita

Villa Martinazzi is a traditional Umbrian farmhouse that has been recently renovated with the lightest of touches. Set in stunning wooded countryside there are glorious views of rolling hills in every direction.

The original stonework of the four-bedroom house has been carefully restored and handmade terracotta floors and sandblasted beams help maintain the building’s authentic character, while being brilliantly equipped for a stay of idle loveliness.

A house for all seasons, there’s an open fire and a wood-burning stove for the colder months and for when it’s hotter, several different terraces outside, where guests can dine for much of the year. Head via the external stairs to the upper terrace for a morning coffee with spectacular views.

Entirely private, the mature garden spills over different terraces and steps wind down to the pool. Here, sun loungers and parasols encourage top-level R&R and there’s a lovely shaded sitting area.

For those who want to venture further than the pool, pretty Umbertide is just a short drive away and boasts a great selection of restaurants, bars and shops or head one valley over and you’ll find Lake Trasimeno.

A central island runs down the middle of the room with stools so guests can sit and chat to whoever is cooking. Doors open onto the garden at one end and there’s a large open doorway to the dining room at the other.
