La Quercia

Occupying a stunning position overlooking a wooded valley, this is a wonderful retreat for families or groups of friends


La Quercia is a beautiful property that includes a restored farmhouse and a converted hay barn, set into a forest clearing on the side of a valley near the medieval village of Preggio. The houses are built of local stone with typical Umbrian clay roof tiles and interiors designed with Scandinavian simplicity, sharing incredible views over the hills to the north of Lake Trasimeno.

The main house is a two-storey building with a single-level extension and conservatory. A former hay barn is set about thirty metres further down the hill and has been converted into a one-bedroom guest house on two storeys, renovated to the same standard as the main property. The infinity pool is a little way beyond and has uninterrupted views across the wooded hills.

La Quercia has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a kitchen and dining area in each property, a large sitting room in the main farmhouse and a conservatory-style winter garden room in each building, as well as technical rooms, a private pool and two terraces.
