Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy, Villa delle Sophore is an extraordinary eighteenth-century residence located just a few kilometers from Lake Trasimeno, with the ancient Etruscan city of Cortona visible in the distance. This remarkable vacation rental occupies what was historically a border and smuggling area between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal States, lending the property an atmosphere of rare historical depth and romance. The villa has been thoughtfully restored through a decidedly conservative renovation that has preserved its original character while ensuring every modern comfort is at hand. Painted frescoes, vaulted ceilings, a majestic atrium, and a collection of antique furnishings sourced through years of patient research by the owners create an environment that feels both timeless and deeply welcoming. LCD televisions, stereos, and Internet WiFi connectivity are seamlessly integrated into the interiors, ensuring guests enjoy contemporary convenience without compromising the villa's historic charm. The surrounding yard and park-garden, shaped by the mild lake climate and planted with species of rare botanical beauty, extend the sense of grandeur beyond the villa's walls. The owners reside in a private annex of the property with a separate entrance, making themselves available to guests throughout their stay. When renting this property in this configuration, no other guests will be present anywhere on the estate, guaranteeing complete exclusivity and privacy.
Outdoors
The exterior of Villa delle Sophore is a carefully maintained park-garden that reflects the nineteenth-century tradition of blending English and Italian landscaping styles. The grounds are home to oak forests, local flora and fauna, and plants of rare beauty, including the pair of giant pendulous Japanese sophoras from which the villa takes its name, considered the finest examples of their kind in the entire territory. A beautiful period lemon house, an ancient gazebo, a solarium area, and a magnificent contemporary fountain complete the park and create a series of distinct outdoor spaces to explore and enjoy. The non-heated pool is positioned just a few meters from the house, set slightly lower in the landscape and easily reached from the garden via a gentle slope. Open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October, the rectangular pool measures 11 meters by 7 meters with a constant depth of 1.25 meters. Access to the water is provided by a Roman staircase, and a cold shower is available poolside. The interior of the pool is finished in PVC, while the outer edge and solarium area are laid in traditional terracotta. Sun loungers and umbrellas are provided, and centuries-old trees surrounding the pool naturally create shaded areas throughout the day. Privacy in the solarium area is ensured by a laurel hedge that separates it from the rest of the park. Adjacent to the pool, a large open veranda houses a fully equipped kitchen and a generous dining table with chairs, creating an ideal setting for outdoor meals. A barbecue is also available in this area, perfect for alfresco dining in the warm Tuscan evenings. Please note that photographs of the property are typically taken in spring, so the colors and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and park may vary depending on the season of your visit.
