About this villa rental

Located in the hilly green heart of Umbria, Podere Gnani is a 18th Century beautiful stone colonic villa surrounded by one hectare of fenced off private garden, partly cultivated with olive groves, from which a good self-produced oil is obtained.
In the higher area of the garden is located the private swimming pool, overlooking the splendid panorama of the valley.
The house was completely restored in the 2000s, in full respect of materials and colors of the local building tradition. Even the furnishings – all coming from an authentic antique familiar selection - contribute in creating the special atmosphere of the property.
Presently, the house is organized on three floors, connected to each other by an internal staircase. Each floor is also accessible from the garden.
In the house there are four double bedrooms and three full bathrooms (one with a bath-tub and shower, the other two with a shower). An additional bed is available in the small living room on the lower floor. Overall, the house can accomodate up to 9 people.
The daily activities can take place in many living spaces, in the spacious kitchen and on the terraces overlooking the landscaped garden.

The communication throughout was excellent. Very fast and friendly response in the run up to our stay. Our flight was delayed, but it was all very flexible and well managed.The house is in such an amazing spot. There are a few houses nearby but all far enough away that you feel like you're the only one on the hill. Yet, it is 15 minutes to a nearby town with supermarkets, restaurants etc and even Perugia is less than 30 minutes away. The house is very spacious. We were with 7 people and there was plenty of room. The kitchen is also spacious, and well equiped although we ate on the beautiful table outside everyday. Even though it was warm (35 degrees) outside, the house never felt too warm. In the evenings it was especially pleasant given that you are in the mountains. The pool is beautiful, well sized and well maintained. The children were there every day. We visited Lago Trasimeno, which is 20 minutes away. There are beaches there and we had a nice swim and a play on paddle boards. All in all, this was a great find and we loved our stay.

Our family and friends group from Germany and the US had a remarkable stay at Podere Gnani in June 2025. Communications with owner Valeria and house manager Sandra were flawless and always informative with lots of local tips. You have the feeling of coming home when you enter into the villa through the kitchen door! I spent blissful hours at the pool marveling at the hills and olive groves in my view and saving grasshoppers and cicadas and even a frog that had fallen into the pool. We were there just as a heat wave descended on the valley. While the middle of the days were very hot, humidity is low and the mornings and evenings were pleasantly cool. Rooms all had fans to help circulate the air. The villa is located in a lush valley with a working vineyard down the hill and very friendly neighbors. Thank you for offering your home - I find my thoughts being pulled back to Umbria to experience more of the remarkable culture, food, and world heritage sites.

We stayed here for a family reunion and the villa was absolutely amazing (one member of our group is already looking to come back next year to stay!). Great host, great communication, beautiful property - we would absolutely stay here again next time we're in Italy!
