Casellina, Umbertide - Perugia in Umbria

It’s difficult to know where to start singing the praises of this property’s many qualities. It is not insignificant that four Strandkorb chairs grace two of Casella’s terraces. Equally, this beautifully preserved villa would fit right in to any glossy interiors magazine. Every corner shows that a designer’s eye has been lovingly at work, from the décor’s play of rich ochres and terracottas, to the clever mix of antique chests and chairs, ornate tiling and mirrors, designer sinks and contemporary soft furnishings.

Perched high in the Umbrian hills, Casella offers extensive views, a large sloping garden that charms from the off and a glorious private infinity pool. The property is well placed for days out in Perugia, Cortona, Gubbio and Assisi, but you will have to wrench yourself away from its delightful embrace.

Its interiors make it a serious contender for a visit during the cooler months of the year. And, in the summer, the beautiful garden and pool, with their spectacular views, two pergolas (one vine-covered, the other scented with jasmine), romantic cabana, terraces, superb garden furnishings, al-fresco dining table and barbecue, will easily absorb a full party. More active members of the group will appreciate the pool-house multi-gym. Kids of all ages will soon discover the garden’s table tennis and table football.
