The Oak Tree Farmhouse | 6-Bedroom Villa in Collazzone Perugia Provinc

Fourteen guests arrive at The Oak Tree Farmhouse in Collazzone Perugia expecting a countryside retreat. They leave having experienced something far rarer: a 17th-century working estate where Umbrian wine production, olive groves, and genuine hospitality converge on 22 hectares of private land. Built in 1660 and comprehensively restored to marry period authenticity with contemporary comfort, this luxury villa rental in Collazzone Perugia operates as something between a private home and an immersive cultural experience.

Inside The Oak Tree Farmhouse

The Oak Tree Farmhouse sleeps 13 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, distributed across three storeys with careful attention to both privacy and community. Ground floor accommodation includes an accessible suite featuring a queen-sized bed, integrated kitchen, and wet-room bathroom with full disability provisions—a rarity in historic Italian properties. Two additional bedrooms occupy the ground level: one with a 170cm double bed and shower ensuite, the second combining a 170cm double with an 80cm single bed and full bathroom with bidet. The first floor contains three further double bedrooms, each with its own shower ensuite and bidet facility, plus a fifth ground-floor double bedroom servicing the main kitchen area.

Living spaces reflect the scale of entertaining groups of this size. A ground-floor living room anchors the lower level with television, fireplace, and seating for quiet mornings or evening winds-down. The formal dining room accommodates the full party, though many guests gravitate toward the ground-floor kitchen—equipped with professional-grade oven, hob, fridge, freezer, and coffee station—which opens to a breakfast table and casual seating area. The first-floor living room introduces a grander dimension: grand piano, sophisticated audio system, fireplace, and substantial seating clusters. This room functions as either a formal gathering space or, realistically, the spot where multi-generational family members claim territory at opposite ends. The property includes a dedicated wine cellar and tasting room on-site, stocked with estate production from the surrounding vineyards.

Every bedroom features bespoke colour palettes, quality linens, and individual character—no two rooms feel identical despite their consistent comfort standards. Air-conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi connectivity, and smart televisions in main areas satisfy practical needs without intruding on the property’s 1660s bones. A safe stores valuables. Hairdryers, iron and ironing board, and baby-changing facilities address typical guest requirements.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step beyond the terracotta walls and the property reveals itself as fundamentally a landscape experience. The swimming pool—15 metres long, 6 metres wide, with depth ranging from 1.4 to 2.3 metres—commands southfacing vistas across rolling Umbrian hills, operational from June through October. A separate pool house provides changing facilities and WC access. The surrounding garden unfolds as cultivated parkland: established trees, manicured lawns, and flower beds give way to working vineyards and olive groves that guests may freely explore on foot or by bicycle.

Three distinct dining options serve outdoor entertaining: a wood-burning pizza oven for evening gatherings, a full barbecue setup, and multiple terraced areas with countryside views. The al-fresco dining zones face open fields rather than neighbouring properties—a rarity on this scale. The grounds function practically too: parking accommodates multiple vehicles, and an EV charging station serves guests with electric cars. The landscape management follows sustainable practices, visible in the active production of olive oil and wine from the estate.

Location: Collazzone Perugia and the Surrounding Area

The villa sits in Collazzone, a medieval hilltop village 5km from the property itself—close enough for lunch, distant enough to feel genuinely rural. Collazzone retains its walled perimeter, ancient towers, and winding stone streets characteristic of 12th-century Umbrian settlements. Several small churches hold local religious significance, and a traditional trattoria serves regional cooking to both pilgrims and curious visitors.

Todi, positioned 25km south, transforms the equation entirely. This yellow-stone Renaissance town rises dramatically from surrounding valleys, dominated by a Romanesque-Gothic cathedral and the fortress-like Palazzo del Capitano. Street markets operate Saturdays. Artisan shops throughout the centro storico stock ceramics, textiles, and locally-made wines. Restaurants cluster around the central piazza, serving authentic Umbrian cuisine—handmade pasta, wild boar ragù, pecorino cheese from the Val d’Orcia region visible from the hilltop.

Perugia, the regional capital, lies 27km northwest. The city functions as a working centre rather than a museum: locals queue for espresso at pavement cafés bordering Piazza IV Novembre, the main square that opens onto dense shopping streets, galleries, and historic churches. The Palazzo dei Priori and National Gallery represent major cultural draws. The city’s chocolate factory—Perugina, producer of the ubiquitous Baci biscuits—offers both shop and cafe. Public parking exists, though traffic management demands attention during peak summer months.

Lake Trasimeno, approximately 45km northwest, provides water-based recreation. The lake supports swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and boat hire throughout summer months. Small villages dot the shoreline—Passignano sul Trasimeno and Castiglione del Lago contain restaurants with lakeside seating and modest accommodation for day trips. Scenic boat tours operate from multiple launch points.

Perugia Sant’Egidio Airport (approximately 55km north, 50-minute transfer) handles most international flights to the region. Alternatively, Rome Fiumicino Airport (180km southwest, 2-hour transfer) offers broader European connections and potentially lower fares for distant origin points.

For deeper contextual reading, consult our comprehensive Umbria travel guide, which covers seasonal weather patterns, regional specialities, and cultural events throughout the year.

Best travel months: April through May (spring wildflowers, moderate temperatures, Easter celebrations) and September through October (autumn light, harvest season, reduced summer crowds). July and August see peak temperatures exceeding 30°C, though evenings cool substantially. Winter months (December through February) remain mild but experience occasional rain.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families spanning three generations find the room configuration and multiple living spaces essential. Grandparents claim ground-floor accessibility, teenagers inhabit upper floors, young children remain within sight of kitchens and pools. The 13-guest capacity accommodates immediate family plus one or two close friends without awkward sleeping arrangements.

Professional groups—creative retreats, corporate strategy sessions, advisory board meetings—benefit from the combination of serious workspace (multiple quiet rooms, reliable internet, wine cellar as informal boardroom) and recreational balance (hiking trails, cooking classes, wine tastings). Groups booking chef services or cooking classes find the commercial-grade kitchen and multiple dining formats invaluable.

Couples seeking privacy within a larger property stay comfortably in corner bedrooms with full ensuite bathrooms, undisturbed by other guests. Multi-couple holidays (friends, siblings with spouses) find sufficient separation and gathering space without forced proximity.

Guests with mobility requirements find the ground-floor accessible suite with wheelchair-accessible shower and integrated kitchen genuinely functional—not token accommodation. The property manager confirms accessibility during booking, ensuring appropriate support services.
