Nestled on an estate and surrounded by 500 hectares of rolling hills, this 18th-century home boasts a large private pool and lots of outdoor space. The home itself is made up of three separate apartments, each with its own space to relax and dine. The traditional decor feels a little dated and won't be to everyone's taste, but the unique and stunning location puts this home a cut above the rest. The gardens are ideal for children or pets to play, and there's space for alfresco dining and soaking up the sun. Although we love the seclusion and tranquillity here, you'll want a car for getting around and visiting the city of Perugia.

About Perugia
In the heart of picturesque Umbria, the walled city of Perugia radiates history down every winding cobbled alleyway. Sitting atop a hill, streets stacked on top of each other are crowned at the tip with the jutting spire of Piazza IV Novembre with its ancient Cathedral. Fontana Maggiore, an ornate fountain is at the heart of the square which once buzzed with medieval merchants and monks. Follow the narrow streets...
