Villa Annibale | 4-Bedroom Villa in Province of Perugia

Eight guests, four bedrooms spread across two floors, and a heated saltwater pool overlooking the rolling countryside of central Italy—Villa Annibale sits in the heart of Umbria’s most compelling landscape, just beyond Perugia’s medieval walls. This contemporary home commands views across olive groves, ancient forests, and the distant shimmer of Lake Trasimeno, placing you within easy reach of both countryside tranquility and the cultural richness of Umbria’s towns and villages.

Inside Villa Annibale

Villa Annibale sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, distributed across 210 square metres of thoughtfully designed living space. The ground floor opens with a bright living room where a Smart TV and comfortable seating invite evening gatherings, flowing seamlessly into a dining area that comfortably seats all eight guests. The kitchen commands serious attention—a fully equipped workspace with oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, kettle, coffee machine, toaster, blender, and a pasta maker for those inclined to craft fresh sheets of tagliatelle by hand. A ground-floor bedroom with double bed and ensuite bathroom (shower, sink, WC) means guests with mobility concerns or young children can avoid stairs entirely, with direct access to the garden.

The first floor houses three additional bedrooms, each furnished with a double bed and access to a terrace overlooking the landscape. A second bathroom on this level (shower, double sink, WC) serves these rooms. Throughout the villa, underfloor heating maintains comfort during cooler months, while a fireplace in the living area provides focal-point warmth. Wi-Fi extends to every corner, ensuring connectivity when needed. A Sonos sound system allows music to follow you from room to room, and board games occupy a shelf for quieter evenings.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The 2,500 square metre grounds surrounding Villa Annibale create an entire world unto themselves. A heated saltwater pool measuring 4 by 9 metres (maximum depth 1.4 metres) sits at the heart of the outdoor experience, fitted with an electric cover and surrounded by sun loungers and parasols for full-day lounging. The pool maintains comfortable temperatures year-round, extending the swimming season well into autumn. An outdoor shower allows you to rinse away chlorine and dust before retreating inside, while a pergola-shaded seating area provides respite during the hottest afternoon hours.

Dining al fresco happens at a substantial table positioned to capture both daylight and the view, with a gas barbecue standing ready for grilled vegetables, meats, or fish. Hammocks slung between mature trees offer afternoon refuge, while the surrounding private woodland screens the property from neighbouring views and creates a sense of genuine isolation despite the villa’s proximity to villages and towns. Landscaped gardens transition gradually into native forest, creating natural habitat corridors and eliminating any sense of manicured artificiality.

Location: Perugia and the Surrounding Area

Villa Annibale occupies one of Umbria’s most strategically positioned locations. Perugia, Umbria’s capital city, lies 27 kilometres south and deserves at least one full day of exploration. The medieval core radiates around Piazza IV Novembre, where the National Gallery houses masterworks alongside Renaissance architecture that rewards unhurried walking. The city’s Rocca Paolina fortress dominates the skyline—a 16th-century statement of power built into the hillside itself. Less obviously, Perugia manufactured the distinctive chocolate variety sold in cafés throughout the region; October’s annual chocolate festival draws visitors globally, or visit the manufacturing facilities year-round for tastings and tours.

Closer at hand, Preggio lies 4 kilometres away—a working village rather than a tourist destination, with a bar, restaurant, and pharmacy serving local residents. Eight kilometres further brings you to Castel Rigone, a hillside settlement founded in 543 AD that commands unobstructed views across Lake Trasimeno. The Sanctuary of Maria Santissima dei Miracoli here attracts both pilgrims and architecture enthusiasts; the village’s medieval centre clusters with cafés and casual eateries where lunch stretches into afternoon. Lake Trasimeno itself sits 17 kilometres north—Italy’s fourth-largest lake, dotted with beaches, picnic grounds, and walking trails that ring the shoreline. Villages like Passignano sul Trasimeno and Tuoro sul Trasimeno scatter around the lake’s perimeter, each offering waterfront restaurants and boat hire for those wanting to explore from the water.

The Antognolla Golf estate, 15 kilometres east, encompasses an 18-hole championship course alongside tennis courts, nature trails, bike hire facilities, and restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining. Cyclists and hikers find extensive trail networks threading through the region’s uncrowded countryside. Cortona, a celebrated Tuscan hilltop town, sits 34 kilometres south and merits a day trip for its Etruscan walls, Renaissance art, and exceptional restaurant scene. Umbertide, 16 kilometres away, offers a more working town atmosphere with genuine local character. Those with additional time can reach Siena 100 kilometres south for Tuscany’s quintessential medieval city experience.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational families appreciate the ground-floor bedroom-and-bathroom arrangement, which eliminates stair navigation for elderly relatives, young children, or anyone with mobility limitations.

A private chef can be arranged to handle dinner preparation, transforming cooking from obligation into leisure.

Groups of four couples find the bedroom distribution perfectly balanced—each pair receives genuine privacy with ensuite or dedicated bathroom access. The eight-person dining table and spacious living room encourage social evenings without enforced togetherness, while the outdoor areas naturally divide into sun exposure and shaded retreats.

Hiking and cycling trails begin practically at the property line, appealing to active couples uninterested in resort environments.
