Perched on rolling hills between Città della Pieve in Umbria and Chiusi in Tuscany, Villa Caselle is a secluded haven with breathtaking views over a vast green plain. Passed down since the 1500s, the villa underwent a meticulous restoration in 2010, blending history with refined elegance. The antique façade, exposed beams, and Tuscan terracotta floors preserve its authenticity, while interiors feature a tasteful mix of antique furnishings and modern comforts. A lush garden, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves, leads to a private swimming pool on a lower terrace. Whether enjoying an apéritif by the pool or dining under the ivy-clad pergola, every moment here is magical, especially at sunset.
A short drive away, Città della Pieve hosts the Palio dei Terzieri, a historic archery contest featuring a grand medieval procession. The villa’s location is ideal for exploring both Umbria and Tuscany, with easy access to motorways and railway stations connecting to Rome, Perugia, Orvieto, Assisi, Cortona, Montepulciano, and Arezzo. Shops and supermarkets are just two kilometers away in Po’ Bandino.
Spanning 450 square meters, the villa has three floors. The ground floor consists of two independent wings with separate entrances, each featuring a sitting area, fireplace, dining space, and fully equipped kitchen. One wing includes a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, while the other opens to a pergola for outdoor dining. The first floor connects the wings and includes a lounge with a smart TV, six double bedrooms, and multiple bathrooms. A wooden staircase leads to the second-floor sitting area.
At 350 meters above sea level, the villa is accessed via a cypress-lined driveway leading to a 1.5-hectare landscaped garden. Rose bushes, wisteria, lemon trees, and a grove of oaks create a serene setting, with shaded pergolas offering perfect spaces for outdoor dining. The swimming pool, located 20 meters from the house, measures 11 x 5.5 meters, with sunbeds, a pergola, and panoramic views. Open from late April to early October, it provides an idyllic retreat in the heart of the Italian countryside.
