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.
