What Oliver loves…
- Villa Destino is a grand, spacious home nestled within 10 acres of private land on the border between Umbria and Tuscany.
- If you are travelling with a large group, this is the perfect place as the home and annexe can accommodate up to 20 guests. If you wish, two extra guests can be accommodated in two comfortable fold out couches, that will allow 24 guests to sleep at the villa.
- The vast garden and private grounds are a relaxing oasis where you can swim, dine and unwind.
- The villa sits in a beautiful countryside location, though the nearest small village and restaurant are less than two kilometres away, while the delightful town of Castiglione del Lago is just 6km away, on the shores of Lake Trasimeno.

Overview
Looking out over the verdant hills of Umbria towards Lake Trasimeno, the home is located in a small village, while the picturesque town of Castiglione del Lago is also easy to reach, just 6km away. The main eight-bedroom villa houses up to 16 guests, and when booking the attached two-bedroom house, the property can sleep larger parties of up to 20 guests.
As you approach the house, you will see a pretty brick exterior with shuttered windows and terracotta roof tiles. The home is typical of this area and fits in perfectly with the quaint village and patchwork of ancient fields around the house.
As you step inside, you will find a traditional farmhouse-style home with tiled floors, exposed brickwork and beamed ceilings. On the ground floor you will find an entry way, a large dining room and a commerical grade kitchen. The living room is a perfect cosy nook for the whole group can come together in the evenings under brick archways.
The villa has two more floors where the eight double bedrooms are to be discovered. Each overlooks the gorgeous garden and boasts an en-suite bathroom, so you are sure to get a great night’s sleep.
Larger parties will also have use of the attached annexe building, which has two more bedrooms and a lovely living and dining room, as well as a kitchen and bathrooms of its own.
The property is located on 10 acres and guests have full access to the huge garden and grounds where you can dine al-fresco, swim in the pool or head out on your morning run.
What you should know…
- The main villa and the adjoining annexe can sleep 20 guests, or 24 guests when utilising additional roll out beds. If your group has fewer than 18 guests, the annexe will not be open, whereas if you are a group of 6 or fewer you can simply hire the annexe.
- Extensive renovations to the interior have recently been completed and exterior renovations are underway, but please note these will not cause disruption during your stay.
- Guests will need to bring a car in order to visit the nearest villages and towns.
- Please be mindful if booking with a pet that the back of the property is 10 acres of private land, and it is not fenced.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa DestinoLying in sleepy Umbrian farmland, just a stone’s throw away from the Tuscan border, you will find Villa Destino.
Just a short stroll from the home is the centre of a little village which offers a shop, a bar and a church. This area will make you feel like part of the local community while also allowing you to access tourist locations easily.
One of the closest, larger towns is Castiglione del Lago. The town we see today is medieval, though the origins lie in the Etruscan era. You can explore the castle today and the walls that wrap around the city. The Palazzo del Comune is a great place to start wandering around the town, a lovely square with Renaissance-style buildings.
Just outside of the walls, visitors can access three of the nine beaches surrounding Lake Trasimeno, board ferries to the little islands on the lake, and take scenic boat trips. Sports enthusiasts can also access hiking routes from here and take part in water sports.
If you do not mind driving a little further, you could also visit the amazing cities of Arezzo (60km away) or Siena (78km away), which are worth the trip!

We had a great week at Villa Destino
From the moment we prepared for our stay, Suzette was a great host and attentive to our needs. Because of this, we felt right at home as soon as we arrived.
Villa Destino sits on a hillside near Castiglione del Lago, which can be seen from the porch. The large trees on the terrace, the unobstructed view around, the pool below as the entire estate immediately immerse you in the Dolce Vita unique to Tuscany and Umbria.
The rooms are large, well appointed and make it possible to accommodate large groups. The professional kitchen is a real plus and makes it possible to cook a wide range of different recipes. The pool below is easily accessible and will bring you the necessary freshness under the Italian sun.
We spent a full week there with a group of 18 and will be happy to come back. Thank you! -
Beautiful!
We liked the proximity to the villages Montalcino and Montepulciano. The Villa was very beautiful and what to say about the experience of the chef at home for our daughter's birthday, WoW, an evening to remember. Wonderful stay in Tuscany.
