Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling Lazio countryside on the border with Umbria and within easy reach of Tuscany, Villa Carmeli is an exceptional vacation rental that combines the timeless charm of a traditional Italian stone farmhouse with the refined comfort of contemporary living. Located near Castel Giorgio in Italy, this magnificent three-storey property and its separate annex sit within a vast unfenced park of 10,000 square metres, offering an unparalleled sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity. The heavy stone walls, softened by light blue fixtures that lend a distinctive Provençal character, frame a home where original architectural features such as round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams have been lovingly preserved throughout the renovation. The contemporary sensibility of the owners has shaped large, warm, and welcoming interiors with a minimalist aesthetic, making Villa Carmeli perfectly suited to an extended holiday with family and friends. The property benefits from complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Ample parking is available on-site, with 4 uncovered spaces conveniently positioned in front of the pergola and swimming pool. The expansive grounds serve as a natural yard, inviting guests to explore gravel paths, stone steps, and a landscape rich with oaks, cypresses, walnut and olive trees, lavender, and seasonal wildflowers.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Carmeli are as thoughtfully conceived as the interiors, offering a seamless transition between the comfort of the house and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The unfenced park extends across 10,000 square metres of semi-hilly terrain, characterised by the native vegetation of the Umbria-Lazio border, including wild asparagus, dog rose, butcher's broom, hawthorn, juniper, holly, bay, strawberry tree, and blackthorn. Arable land surrounds the property, and in summer the landscape is tinged with warm shades of yellow and ochre. Gravel paths and stone steps facilitate movement throughout the grounds, and the property adheres to environmentally responsible practices with door-to-door separate waste collection. A pergola adjacent to the main villa serves as a sheltered outdoor dining and entertaining area, equipped with a barbecue and a dining table, and accessible directly from the open-plan living area on the ground floor. A second pergola with barbecue and dining table is also available at the annex, providing the same outdoor experience for guests staying in the separate building. The non-heated swimming pool is positioned on a lower terrace approximately 20 metres from the main villa and is reached by descending eleven terracotta steps from the pergola or by crossing the lawn from the parking area. Measuring 4 x 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, the pool is resin-lined and features chlorine purification, internal lighting, and a metal ladder for water access. The surrounding solarium, finished in porous terracotta and lawn, is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and a solar shower is available nearby. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. It is worth noting that photographs of the property are typically taken in spring, so the colours and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and park may differ from their appearance at the time of arrival.
