Villa Ludovica
Description
Where the blue of Lake Trasimeno gives way to the thousand shades of green of the rolling Umbrian hills you will find Pupa House. In a quiet residential area, set in a natural terrace shaded by ancient pines, with a breathtaking view of the lake that you can enjoy especially at sunrise and sunset but also throughout the rest of your days from the beautiful porch. This space is furnished with a sitting area, for an aperitif in front of the sunset, and with a table, chairs and barbecue for your outdoor family dinners or barbecues on cool summer evenings.
The villa is divided into two independent apartments, one of which is inhabited by the owner.
The characteristic village of San Feliciano is 1.5 km away and can be reached by a short walk. Here you will find small shops for basic necessities, but above all you will have the opportunity to have lunch or dinner along the lake, with Isola Polvese as a backdrop. In Magione, about 5 km away, you will find supermarkets and shops of all kinds, and in Corciano a large shopping centre.
Lake Trasimeno, with its small towns, water sports opportunities and equipped beaches, is waiting to be discovered. In a little more than an hour you can make the complete tour by car, or better still enjoy a boat trip to Isola Maggiore, with its small fishing village, an activity that is also perfect for your children.
The large swimming pool will be at your disposal (size 12x6 m, depth 0.60-2 - open from 01st June to 30 September); occasionally it is also used by the owner who will be, albeit very discreetly, an excellent point of reference in case of need. You will have your own private space for your car within the fully fenced property, where even your small four-legged friends will be welcome.
The house is comfortable, furnished with particular taste by the owner with local antiques, has a large living room with sofas and an antique fireplace, two comfortable double bedrooms and a smaller one perfect for a child.
Certainly, in addition to the proximity to important centres such as Perugia, Arezzo and Siena, which you can visit with convenient day trips, in our opinion the highlight of the villa is the view from the house and its outdoor space. Sunsets on the Lake from Pupa House will be one of the most beautiful memories you will carry with you for years to come. Pupa House

Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, La Casa di Elsa is a beautifully restored vacation rental set in the medieval hilltop village of Santa Fiora, Italy. Dating back to the early 20th century, this charming property was originally a humble rural house, with animal stalls on the ground floor and peasants' quarters above. Following a skilful renovation completed in 2013, the house has been transformed into a refined and comfortable home that seamlessly blends its rich historical character with modern comforts. The original stone walls, exposed on the exterior and visible beneath the plaster in certain interior spaces, speak to the property's authentic past, while carefully restored pieces of furniture, including 2 old madie, traditional kitchen cupboards once used for kneading and storing bread, now serve as elegant and functional storage units. The lush garden, panoramic swimming pool, and the characteristic medieval town centre of Santa Fiora towering above complete a setting of rare beauty. Surrounded by green woods and set within a 4-hectare estate, the property offers a generous yard that provides both privacy and a deep connection with the natural landscape. Guests benefit from Internet WiFi throughout the house, ensuring connectivity during their stay, and a dedicated gravel parking area is conveniently located near the main entrance, making arrivals and departures effortless.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of La Casa di Elsa are among its most captivating features, arranged across 3 large terraces that descend gracefully through the garden. Lawns enlivened by colourful flower pots, mature trees typical of the Tuscan landscape, including chestnuts, oaks, cypresses, walnut, hazelnut, cherry, and apple trees, create a rich and varied natural setting full of interesting corners to discover. An outdoor seating area furnished with sofas and armchairs invites relaxation in the open air, while a panoramic terrace equipped with a brickwork barbecue offers the perfect spot for preparing and enjoying grilled meals in the company of family or friends. The woods and olive grove that border the garden form part of the wider 4-hectare estate, lending the property an exceptional sense of seclusion and tranquillity. From the main entrance, 2 charming paths wind through the woods alongside little streams, leading guests to the village centre in just a few minutes on foot. A few large steps cross the lawn along the 20 metres separating the house from the panoramic swimming pool, which is set on the lowest terrace of the garden and clearly visible from the rooms and patio. The non-heated pool measures 5 x 11 m with a constant depth of 1.40 m, is edged in stoneware tiles, lined in PVC, and features salt purification. Roman steps lead into the water, and the pool is equipped with both internal and external lighting. The surrounding solarium area extends over a level surface that is partly paved and mostly lawn, furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and served by a cold-water shower. The many trees throughout the garden create numerous areas of natural shade, particularly welcome during the warmest days of summer. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that the appearance of flowering plants and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
Unit Layout
La Casa di Elsa is configured across 2 floors which, thanks to the sloping terrain, each benefit from direct access to the outside, welcoming up to a maximum of 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main entrance on the first floor leads into a small hallway from which 3 double bedrooms open, all oriented to take full advantage of the surrounding views. 1 of these bedrooms features a private balcony, while another offers divisible beds for added flexibility. 1 bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with shower, and the remaining 2 bedrooms share a second bathroom, also with shower. From the hallway, a wooden staircase descends to the living area on the ground floor, which comprises a large open-plan space incorporating a toilet, a living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a dining room. From this level, 2 large French windows open onto a portico furnished with a table and chairs, where alfresco meals can be enjoyed while admiring the surrounding landscape.

Distances and Attractions
Santa Fiora, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is just a short walk from La Casa di Elsa via the charming wooded paths that begin near the property's main entrance. The village is steeped in history, built around the remains of the ancient Aldobrandesque fortifications, of which the Clock Tower is adorned with ceramics by the Della Robbia family, with battlements dating back to the 19th century. Nearby, the Palazzo Sforza stands over the remains of the walls of the old castle, while the Church of Saints Flora and Lucilla houses the celebrated terracotta altarpieces of the Della Robbia Florentine workshop. The Peschiera, a tranquil mirror of clear water dedicated to trout breeding, forms a small and enchanting park immersed in silence, beside which stands the Church of the Madonna delle Nevi, built above the sources of the river Fiora, visible through a glass floor. Exploring the village further along Via Carolina and through its various streets, you pass through the historic Jewish ghetto, whose appearance remains remarkably similar to what it would have been in the mid-16th century, culminating in the Piazza del Ghetto, the only square in Santa Fiora accessible from a single entrance. The Mercury Mine Museum is also open to visitors within the village. Beyond Santa Fiora, the wider region of Tuscany offers an extraordinary wealth of cultural and natural attractions. Etruscan towns rich in history, such as Montepulciano, Montalcino, and San Casciano di Bagni, are within easy reach, as are the great art cities of Tuscany. The well-connected road network makes short excursions straightforward, and the sunny beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea are approximately one hour's drive away.
