Description
Property Summary
Nestled on a gentle hilltop in the verdant countryside of Umbria, La Martinella is a magnificent 17th century stately home offering an exceptional vacation rental experience near Passignano sul Trasimeno, Italy. This imposing residence takes its name from a noblewoman who received it as dowry upon her marriage to a prominent gentleman of the era, and its storied past is reflected in every detail of its architecture and interior. Majestic 19th century furnishings fill the spacious rooms, whose high ceilings are adorned with frescoes and friezes depicting the history of the Perugia families who once called this villa home. Original materials have been carefully salvaged, conserved, and reintegrated throughout the centuries, from the antique terracotta floors and stone-clad fireplaces to the hand-hewn wooden ceiling beams, creating an atmosphere of authentic grandeur that is rare to find. The property is set within a 13-hectare estate of woodland, vineyards, and olive trees, and the surrounding fenced garden of 1,000 square metres offers absolute tranquillity and natural beauty. Guests benefit from a private parking area conveniently located just in front of the main entrance, as well as Internet WiFi connectivity throughout the property, ensuring that modern comforts are seamlessly woven into this historic setting.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of La Martinella are as captivating as its interior, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the natural splendour of the Umbrian landscape. The fenced garden of 1,000 square metres that surrounds the house is a sanctuary of peace, where the canopy of tall lime trees and ancient oaks shelters small stone benches perfectly positioned for quiet contemplation of the rolling hills and lake views. Lavender bushes, rose gardens, lemon trees, and colourful seasonal flowers brighten every corner, while winding paths lead through the wider estate, offering opportunities to explore the woodland, vineyards, and olive groves in search of an intimate connection with nature. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the flowering and the colours of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The non-heated swimming pool occupies a splendid panoramic position overlooking Lake Trasimeno and is situated at a lower level relative to the main house, remaining visible from several of the bedrooms. Rectangular in shape with a graceful semicircular end featuring Roman steps for entry, the pool measures 5 by 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.50 metres.

Surrounding the pool, a spacious solarium area, largely laid to grass, provides the ideal setting for sunbathing and relaxation, complete with sunbeds, deckchairs, a gazebo, and an umbrella. A portico with a wood stove, a large table and chairs, a hot and cold water shower, and a small stone building housing a kitchenette, bathroom, and changing room complete this exceptional outdoor leisure area.
