If you’ve dreamed of restoring a farmhouse in the Italian countryside, live out your fantasy at Casa Antica. Here, the work has already been done, and you’re free to spend your holiday enjoying the charming traditional architecture and modern comforts of this luxury vacation rental in Umbria. Simply unwind in the private gardens overlooking the hills with family and friends, or use the property as a base to explore the area around Perugia.

A white stone road will bring you out of the Niccone valley, into the hills and up to the gates of this romantic, honeymoon-worthy estate. Its terrace and pergola open to uninterrupted views of the landscape, but trees and hedges hide the gardens from sight, so you’ll feel like the only one for miles as you sink into the pool and hot tub, or prepare a meal at the al-fresco barbecue and pizza oven.

Though Casa Antica still has its classic tiled roof, stone walls and floors, barrel-vaulted and beamed ceilings, and wide hearth, its furnishings bring the villa comfortably into the modern age. Plump white sofas invite you to linger in the two living rooms, the dining table has seating for eight and there’s even a breakfast table in the fully equipped kitchen.

The villa has two bedrooms in its main house and two in a separate guest house; all four have en-suite bathrooms. The main house has two bedrooms with double beds, while the guest house has one bedroom with a double bed plus sofa bed and one with two twin beds plus a sofa bed.

Set close to the border between Umbria and Tuscany, Casa Antica is a short drive outside the hilltop town of Preggio, which has medieval roots along with modern amenities such as a supermarket, and the small town of Mercatale, which has an assortment of shops and restaurants. Take a day trip into Cortona or Perugia, or to the shores of stunning Lake Trasimeno.
