Poggio alle Rose country house with pool, Tuoro sul Trasimeno, Perugia – Umbria
With stunning open lake views, a 6-bedroom country villa with guest cottage, swimming pool, rose garden, and olive grove for sale in Tuoro sul Trasimeno, Perugia. Traditional rustic-style villa with spectacular panoramic views of the lake, on the border with Tuscany, just 15 km from Cortona. A historic site, the villa is built on the same hills of Hannibal's famous 217 BC battle, when he ambushed and defeated the powerful Romans here. Poggio alle Rose is a typical Umbrian-style country villa with guest cottage, built in the early 1800s, 350 meters a.s.l and facing south, with enchanting views of Lake Trasimeno, among 300 olive trees, some centuries old. Poggio alle Rose boasts more than 30 varieties of roses from both Italy and England, and fruit trees including figs, walnuts, cherries and Kaki. Surrounding the pool, with a Roman-style step, is a terraced garden with more than 100 varieties of flowers and exotic shrubs, surrounding an outdoor kitchen with al fresco dining. The facades are partly in natural stone with a characteristic loggia on the first floor. The interiors retain the original features with high exposed wood-beamed ceilings and handmade terracotta floors. The bathrooms have been recently renovated in travertine stone with the master bedroom bathroom boasting a Jacuzzi. The entire building can be extended of further 100 sq m/1976 sq ft. On the exterior of the guest cottage a 50-year old Wisteria plant provides a shady pergola for dining and relaxing. The 600 m driveway is a combination of concrete and gravel, and all cars can easily get on and off. Fascinating, romantic lake-views, in a private and quiet setting, ready to live with family and friends or host tourists for their vacations in the heart of Italy.
