Photos and Description of this Castiglione del Lago holiday villa Romantic estate with lake & mountain view, pool, privacy, vineyards, olive grove

Built in 1918 as the residence of the 'padrone' of the surrounding farms, Villa Gioianna is a spacious country house in the Italian Liberty style. The Villa is approached via an avenue of cypresses and sits in a large mature park of woods, vineyards, olive groves, orchards and gardens on a hill above Lago Trasimeno. The views from all sides are stupendous. Villa Gioianna was renovated with respect for the original architecture and retains the warmth and ambiance of a family country home. Cotto and hand-painted tile floors, walnut doors and beamed ceilings frame the elegant but comfortable antiques furnishing the rooms. Each of the 8 romantic bedrooms has its own bathroom. A large terrace runs the entire length of the house, overlooking vineyards, farms and villages and, in the distance, Montepulciano, Mt Amiata and Mt Cetona. The Villa is a small working estate that produces its own olive oil, fruits and vegetables. It is secluded and private, yet just five minutes by car from town.

Villa Gioianna is located near Lake Trasimeno, on the western edge of Umbria and a stone's throw from Tuscany. The medieval town of Castiglione del Lago, designated as one of 'I Borghi più belli d'Italia' (the most beautiful towns in Italy), is the nearest town. From Castiglione Del Lago you can easily access the superstrada linking Perugia and eastern Umbria to Siena, Cortona, Chianti and western Tuscany, and is the embarkation point for the ferries servicing the lake islands. Nearby are the Etruscan town of Chiusi and its excellent train connections to many destinations, including Rome, Florence and Orvieto. Within an hour's drive are many historic and art-filled Umbrian and Tuscan hill towns, such as Assisi, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Pienza, Perugia, Deruta, Spello, Gubbio, Todi and Montalcino, as well as many less well-known, but equally charming, smaller villages. The area abounds in wineries, spas, restaurants, outdoor activities, markets, festivals and shopping opportunities.

Additional information about rental rates

  • The standard rental is one week for the entire Villa. We discount rentals of more than one week and to repeat guests. We also offer shorter rentals (see below). A 30% deposit secures your reservation. The final payment and a refundable security deposit of Euro 1000 is due 10 weeks prior to your arrival, or, if your arrival is within 10 weeks, upon booking. Rates include utilities (hot water, cooking gas and electricity) and daily maid service. Heating, if any, will be charged separately. A welcome breakfast basket of freshly-baked pastries and artisanal bread, fruit, tea, coffee, milk, juice and homemade jam is included in your rental.

We accept payment in euros, or in dollars or sterling (at current forex rates plus wire fee) and by credit card.
  • The rental week is Saturday to Saturday, but we try to be flexible to help guests take advantage of budget airlines' lower midweek prices, school & sport schedules, etc, so please contact us if you have travel constraints. If we can help by adjusting arrival and departure dates, we will. In the same vein, pending availability, the Villa can be rented for periods shorter than one week at a “per night, per room” charge (three-night minimum) for groups who cannot fit an entire week into their travel schedule, and on a reduced basis for groups smaller than the entire Villa. Or, kindly inquire with details of your group and we will be pleased to quote you a price. Please visit our website for further information on cancellation and booking policies and links.

Guests can enjoy open air dining at several locations on the property: on the rear terrace, under a gazebo cloaked in jasmine or a pergola smothered in roses and honeysuckle, at a little stone table in the woods, or at a shaded table on the thyme patio, overlooking the woods. The swimming pool sits in an elevated position on a small rise in the olive grove, protecting it from the sirocco winds blowing from the south, but allowing fresh afternoon breezes coming from the mountains in the north. Comfortable teak steamer chairs and tables furnish the pool deck.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Castiglione del Lago, Italy

Weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Workshops: We have enough space to house most families under one roof and can suggest and/or help organize a special dinner, excursion, restaurant meal or even something as extravagant as a hot air balloon ride with champagne breakfast to celebrate your special day.

Green as a Way of Life: The Villa reflects our philosophy and a particular approach to life which focuses on graciousness, warm hospitality, elegance, and joy in the simple things in life, coupled with a strong sense of responsibility as custodians of the beautiful assets we are so fortunate to enjoy. We strive to treat the natural and personal resources we use with respect, integrity and honor. In a number of ways large and small, we have built the concept of reduce, reuse and recycle into the fabric of our daily life. We recycle 100% of plastic, paper products and glass/tin, encourage our guests to do so as well and provide facilities so that it is not burdensome for them to achieve this. We compost all vegetal matter and food scraps (6 compost piles and our cats). Even our furnishings are “recycled”: the Villa’s décor is largely antiques or quirky secondhand furniture imaginatively redesigned by the owner. We buy local. All of this has been accomplished without compromising on style, comfort or quality.

Comments from our guests: 'We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. This was our first trip to Italy and we were not sure if we would make such a journey again, but after staying at Villa Gioianna and visiting the region, we can honestly say we will most definitely return. You villa is one that can only be dreamed about.' (Jan & Jeff) 'Thank you so much for such a memorable week in paradise. Your kindness, generosity, professionalism, attention to detail and emphasis on quality were most appreciated.' (Jeff & Jim) 'This place is enchanting -- the scenery, the ambience, and all those wonderful tomatoes !' (Pat) 'We just finished 6 incredible days at your Villa . . . I had the best 40th! The food was out of this world and all your suggestions for wineries, dinners and activities were the best.' (Kathy) 'This holiday has been one of total enchantment. Words can't convey how wonderful this experience has been. Every view is worthy of a painting. How fortunate we are to have lived this dream.' (Pete & Tess)

Golf: There is a 9-hole course approximately 20 minutes from the Villa and several 18-hole courses within a hour's or so drive.

Other Activities: Winetasting; thermal baths & spas; music & food festivals; art, historical & nature tours; designer outlets; antique & craft markets; bird watching.

Wunderbare Villa

mles Madrid, Spanien
Review Submitted: April 15, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Nach einer Woche in Villa Gioianna mit 12 Personen möchte ich den sehr persönlichen Empfang, die fantastische Betreuung im Haus und schon im Vorfeld hervorheben.Das Haus ist und liegt wunderschön mit Blick auf den transimenischen See. Jedes Zimmer hat etwas Besonderes, sehr gut restaurierte Möbel und gut funktionierende Badezimmer. Auch das speziell organisierte Abendessen im Haus war fantastisch. Alles in allem ein voller Erfolg und eine unvergessliche Woche! Ich kann dieses Haus auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Über die Freizeitangebote bzw. Attraktionen Umbriens und der naheliegenden Toskana muss man nicht viel hinzufügen, diese sind hinreichend bekannt.( Florenz, San Gimigniano, Siena, Assisi etc.) Nur auf Perugia möchte ich gesondert hinweisen, eine wunderschöne Stadt !!!
