Dreamier surroundings than those on offer at Villa Collinette would be difficult to find. Nestled into the lush greenery of a hillside on the Antognolla Golf Course near Perugia in Umbria, this luxury villa with a pool in Italy has stunning grounds, elegant and welcoming interiors, and sweeping views over the rolling green hills of this magical part of the world. Antognolla itself is one of the most spectacular and challenging eighteen-hole golf courses in all of Italy, making the villa a perfect setting for those who love to golf, in particular. However, anyone looking to simply enjoy a dream escape in Italy will find that this gem of a location and property delivers on every possible level and provides the basis for a perfect vacation in Italy. Sleeping up to ten guests in five bedrooms, with six bathrooms, this luxury property is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.
Villa Collinette’s immediate surroundings are not only exquisitely lovely and would make a holiday where you don’t stray very far at all appealing enough, but it is also perfectly located for those who might want to really make the most of their time in Italy and explore. Perugia is only about 20km - or around 25 minutes away - by car, making it easy to plan trips. Nearby, smaller towns will provide your access to basic amenities, shops, restaurants, and more, and delving into the charming surrounding villages and pastoral Umbrian landscapes is a true delight. Tuscany, meanwhile, is just over the border so it is also possible to visit famous Tuscan destinations like Florence, Arezzo, Siena, and more. Those willing to go further afield for a day-trip will also find that the location, almost right in the centre of Italy, means that visits to Rome and San Marino could also be possible with some planning.
Of course, you should take plenty of time to sit back, relax, and simply appreciate Villa Collinette’s many charms. Set on private grounds with immaculate landscaped gardens spanning 10,000 square meters, up a winding country road, it is the perfect place to really get away from it all and enjoy serious peace and quiet. It is worth noting that this dreamy remote escape is located through the gates of the golf course, 3km along a road that winds up the hill. While it is well-kept, it is a country road that can be steep and have loose stones at times. Guests, therefore, are advised to be aware that they will need to make this drive when coming and going and that certain low vehicles and sports cars might not be suitable. It is also not a location for those who want to be able to easily pop out to the shop on foot. For those, however, who really do want a private and relaxing location, surrounded by nature, it is ideal.
Villa Collinette itself is a beautifully renovated old stone farmhouse with boundless character: climbing plants draping walls, windows and doors framed by shutters, a massive terrace to one side of the house taking in those views, doors opening out onto the gardens, and more. In addition to this charm, the villa also has all of the bells and whistles you could need for a relaxing holiday in Italy and endless creature comforts.
Inside, the character and charm continue with the living room with its massive old fireplace, comfy armchairs and sofa draped with blankets and peppered with cushions, butter yellow walls, and exposed beam ceiling. The gorgeous country kitchen is also in yellow and gleams with marble counters, has pretty white cabinetry, an island, a big farmhouse sink, and a charming old oven with a stovetop as well as a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine. A formal dining room seats all guests and there is also a separate laundry room for your convenience, with a washing machine. On the lower floor, where the laundry room is located, there is also another living room with a television, a double bedroom, and a bedroom with bunk beds (only to be used by children that may be in your party), as well as a shared bathroom with a shower. On the first floor of the villa there is another double bedroom with a bathroom with shower and a master bedroom with a bathroom featuring a bathtub, shower, and walk-in closet. In the separate, equally charming pool house with a porch, there is another kitchen and living room and two more double bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms with showers. Air-conditioning and WIFI is also located across the property for your comfort and convenience.
Beautifully appointed, carefully arranged, and conveniently equipped as the interior may be, Villa Collinette might just be most appealing due to its exterior. As noted, the gardens are large and perfectly manicured, with century-old olive trees framing the space, impossibly gorgeous panoramic views over Umbria’s landscape, expansive terraces that make the most of this, with a pergola that allows guests to dine al fresco and sip on wine and aperitivi while watching the sun set over the rolling green hills. The infinity swimming pool also allows you to swim and sun bathe while enjoying your surroundings and boasts decking with luxurious sun loungers and parasols as well as another pergola where you can relax or dine by the pool in the shade. Other areas with bistro tables and chairs, benches, and lounging areas are thoughtfully placed outside the main rooms and dotted throughout the grounds to allow guests to make the most of the outdoor space. There is also a barbecue area and a table tennis setup that can be provided upon request for added entertainment.
Also included in the rental price are weekly changes of bed linens and towels, the final cleaning, a maid service, your utilities, and the WIFI. Heating for the house or heating for the pool can be provided at an extra cost, according to use. Ample private parking is also available on the grounds.
With much of July and all of August still open for booking, it is a perfect time to snap up your stay at Villa Collinette. Available from €2552 per night, this incredible gem is a dream spot for a luxury vacation in Italy this summer!
