Villa Savini | 4-Bedroom Resort in PERUGIA Province of Perugia

In the heart of Umbria—Italy’s verdant interior where forests blanket more than a third of the region—sits Villa Savini, a meticulously restored 14th-century estate commanding views across rolling valleys dotted with olive groves and ancient woodland. This luxury villa rental in Perugia occupies a singular position within the Tenuta Di Murlo estate, one of Italy’s most exclusive private nature reserves, positioned just 20 minutes from Perugia’s cultural hub yet utterly removed from the rhythms of urban life.

Inside Villa Savini

Villa Savini sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, each bedroom individually appointed with king-size beds and en-suite facilities. Step through the entrance and you arrive at the ground floor, where a Yellow bedroom with king bed and private shower room sits beside the property’s social spine: an expansive open-plan living and dining area anchored by a working fireplace and featuring exposed stone walls that frame comfortable seating for twelve. The dining table accommodates eight guests comfortably. From here, a charming kitchen—the kind of space that draws people in even when no cooking is underway—flows seamlessly through French doors to an external breakfast area, allowing morning light and the scent of lavender from the surrounding gardens to permeate the cooking space.

A corridor branches off toward a converted chapel now serving as a sitting room with television, and to a second bedroom (king bed convertible to twins) with full bath and shower. A dedicated laundry facility completes the ground floor’s practical amenities.

The first floor holds three additional bedrooms, each a distinct retreat: one with king bed and en-suite bath and shower; another with king bed (convertible to separate twins) and full bathroom with bathtub; and a third with king bed and en-suite shower room. Each overlooks the fenced, meticulously landscaped grounds.

A second-floor bathroom with shower provides additional guest convenience. Throughout the villa, air conditioning in all bedrooms ensures comfort during Umbria’s warmer months. Entertainment systems include LCD television with Sky sports channels, Amazon Fire Stick, and Bluetooth sound connectivity. Wireless broadband connects throughout. Baby amenities—cot, high chair, and bathtub—are available upon request, as is table tennis equipment for rainy-day entertainment.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The 8,000 square-meter grounds constitute Villa Savini’s true showpiece. A heated private swimming pool measuring 5 meters by 11 meters—with optional heating system—overlooks panoramic valley vistas that stretch uninterrupted toward distant hills. Beyond the pool, the manicured gardens burst with lavender and rose plantings, creating both visual abundance and natural fragrance that intensifies in evening hours when temperatures cool.

Outdoor living spaces multiply across the property: an outdoor hot tub adds thermal luxury to cooler months; a barbecue area with two dining tables allows alfresco cooking; and expansive panoramic terraces accommodate sixteen guests in outdoor seating arrangements, each vantage point commanding the same sweep of Umbrian landscape. The grounds are fully fenced, providing privacy and security that allows children and guests complete freedom of movement. An outdoor breakfast table catches morning light through the olive trees—the ideal spot to begin each day before exploring the estate or venturing to nearby Perugia.

Location: Perugia and the Surrounding Area

Villa Savini’s position within the province of Perugia grants immediate access to one of central Italy’s most historically layered regions. Perugia itself—the regional capital located just 20 kilometers from the villa—functions as both cultural anchor and practical hub. The city hosts the internationally acclaimed Umbria Jazz Festival every July, drawing musicians and enthusiasts from across Europe, while its year-round opera season and theatrical productions offer regular cultural engagement. The Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria and the Palazzo dei Priori showcase Renaissance art and architecture that shaped European visual culture.

The Tenuta Di Murlo estate itself features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., accessible from Villa Savini in just 3 minutes by car or golf cart via private woodland pathways. The course clubhouse and restaurant sit within the same grounds, offering discounted rates to villa guests. Beyond golf, the estate supports hunting, fishing, and mountain biking across its nature reserve terrain.

Nearby towns each offer distinct character: Assisi (35 kilometers northeast) draws pilgrims and art lovers to the Basilica of St. Francis and medieval streets; Todi (30 kilometers south) crowns a hilltop with Renaissance palaces and panoramic piazza views; Orvieto (40 kilometers southeast) features the astonishing Gothic Duomo and Etruscan archaeological sites; Cortona (45 kilometers north, technically in Tuscany) offers Etruscan walls, Renaissance museums, and sweeping Valdichiana valley views; and Montone (25 kilometers north) hosts an annual international film festival each September. Florence lies within a two-hour drive northward, Rome within two hours southeast.

Perugia’s Umbria Jazz festival (July), Montone Film Festival (September), and Preggio’s classical music festival (summer) provide seasonal cultural highlights. The region’s culinary identity centers on black truffles from around Norcia (50 kilometers south), exceptional olive oils from groves throughout the province, and wines from Montefalco (35 kilometers south) and Torgiano (15 kilometers south). Local markets in Perugia’s historic centro offer farm-fresh produce, cheeses, and cured meats daily.
