Overview
Surrounded by gentle landscapes of rolling hills in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, this traditional Italian villa enjoys a picturesque setting not far from the border with Tuscany.
With its pretty blue shutters and terracotta pots of summer geraniums, Vila Le Cegile exudes Italian charm and authenticity. Just imagine relaxing beneath the covered terrace with a morning coffee or evening glass of Umbrian wine embracing those countryside views. If staying with children, there is ample room to play across the spacious grounds whilst the swimming pool and its attractive poolside terrace is fenced off at the edge of the garden.
Inside, alongside the welcoming lounge and dining area, prepare delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen with contemporary appliances before retiring to sleep in one of the five inviting bedrooms, each with its own en suite shower room and one on the ground floor also featuring a bath. Air-conditioning is featured throughout the home.
Across the region explore charming little medieval villages, enjoy peaceful walks or fishing at Lago di Pietrafitta, admire the palazzi and artwork of gorgeous Città della Pieve and dine out in characterful osterie experiencing the simple yet such wonderful cuisine of Umbria. Sample chocolate in Perugia, wine in beautiful Orvieto and cross the border into southern Tuscany for more gastronomic delights with gems such as Cetona, Sartean, Montepulciano, Pienza and Cortona.
Back in Umbria, spend time by Lago Trasimeno with its lakeside beaches, walking and biking trails, summer watersports, boat trips and the lovely town of Castiglione del Lago.

Dine out in a traditional osteria and enjoy hearty Umbrian and Tuscan fare with saffron a local speciality.
Lake Trasimeno is another fantastic day out – start off by visiting one of Italy’s ‘most beautiful villages’, Castiglione del Lago (26km), then take a summer boat trip across the lake or partake in a range of seasonal water-based activities. The lake is also popular with keen walkers and cyclists or you may just prefer to find a picture-perfect lakeside beach for a picnic.
Crossing over the border into Tuscany, Cetona (26km) is a gorgeous village with a rich history and an ideal spot for lunch whilst Sartean (30km) is equally as charming. A little further afield, sample the cheeses of Pienza (54km), admire the Renaissance palazzi and Vino Nobile wines of Montepulciano (42km) or experience the historic beauty of Cortona (47km).
You could even venture to Siena (102km), just under a 90-minute drive away, or head up the A1 autostrada towards Florence (143km) in less than two hours. Arezzo (84km) is yet another grand Tuscan city not to be ignored and just over an hour away by car.
Back in Umbria, soak up the studenty vibe of Perugia (36km) with its cafes terraces and exquisite architecture and try to find time to visit the incredible Umbrian town of Orvieto (50km), reached via funicular – its cathedral is truly magnificent and its Etruscan heritage is fascinating.
