Ciaramicola Italy | 14-Bedroom Villa in Lisciano Niccone

When you arrive at Ciaramicola Italy in the Val di Perle hills, the first thing you notice isn’t the restored stone walls or the terracotta tiles catching afternoon light—it’s the silence. Fourteen bedrooms. Eleven bathrooms. Space for twenty-eight guests arranged across five independent apartments, each with its own kitchen and living quarters. This is the luxury villa rental in Umbria Italy that transforms group holidays from logistical puzzles into seamless, sociable experiences where families and friends can be together without stepping on each other.

Inside Ciaramicola Italy

Ciaramicola Italy sleeps 28 guests across 14 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms distributed thoughtfully across the main villa and four separate apartments plus an annexe. The layout rewards groups because everyone gets genuine privacy—a rarity in large villa rentals.

The ground floor opens into a dining hall that accommodates fifty guests at a single table, flanked by a professional kitchen reserved for your private chef (or your own meals cooked by hired culinary staff). This is where the daily rituals happen: coffee at sunrise, aperitivos at dusk, long dinners stretching past midnight.

Apartment 1 spans 110 square metres on the ground floor and houses four sleeping spaces: two bedrooms with double beds, one bedroom with a double bed, and one with bunk beds suitable for children or additional guests. Two bathrooms—one with shower, one with bath—serve this wing. The living area includes a double sofa bed and full kitchen, ideal for families who want their own territory without isolation.

Apartment 2, also ground level at 80 square metres, feels more compact but equally charming. One bedroom with a double bed, one bathroom with shower, and a living room anchored by a fireplace and double sofa bed. The integrated kitchen is well-equipped for independent meal preparation. This apartment suits couples traveling with the larger group or smaller families who prefer a quieter corner.

The first floor houses Apartments 3, 4, and 5. Apartment 3 claims 130 square metres—the villa’s largest apartment with three bedrooms: two with double beds (one featuring an ensuite bathroom with shower) and one with a single bed. A fourth bathroom with shower and a living room with double sofa bed complete the footprint. The kitchen here is notably spacious, suggesting this apartment was designed for groups who want to cook together.

Apartment 4, 110 square metres, presents itself as a comfortable social hub within the villa. The living room unfolds into multiple zones: sofa seating, a fireplace, television, a double sofa bed, and a dining table seating ten—perfect for shared family dinners without needing the grand hall. Two bedrooms with double beds anchor the sleeping areas, supported by two bathrooms with showers. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking classes or experimental culinary sessions.

Apartment 5 mirrors Apartment 4 in square metreage (110m²) but offers different character. Two bedrooms with double beds, one bedroom with bunk beds, a living room featuring double sofa bed and a dining table for six, two bathrooms (one with bath, one with shower), and a functioning kitchen round out the space. This apartment balances private sleeping quarters with intimate communal areas—ideal for extended family groups where you want your own space but frequent connection.

The annexe adds flexibility with two additional bedrooms (25m² total), each with a double bed, single bed, air conditioning, mini fridge, and ensuite bathroom with shower. This is where visiting friends or additional family members stay without disrupting the main villa rhythms.

Throughout all spaces, Ciaramicola Italy reveals traditional Umbrian detailing: exposed wooden beams overhead, terracotta floors worn smooth by centuries, stone walls that regulate temperature naturally. Modern conveniences exist alongside heritage charm—air conditioning in select bedrooms, Wi-Fi throughout, washing machines and dryers tucked into utility spaces, hairdryers in every bathroom. Fireplaces in multiple apartments mean winter gatherings stay intimate and warm.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds surrounding Ciaramicola Italy extend across several distinct outdoor living zones, each serving different moods and group sizes.

The swimming pool measures 13 metres by 6 metres with a maximum depth of 1.4 metres—shallow enough for confident children, deep enough for adult swimming and diving games. Open seasonally from May through late September, it becomes the epicentre of daytime activity: sunbathing on provided loungers, diving games, afternoon naps under umbrellas positioned strategically across the surrounding terrace. An outdoor shower allows you to rinse away chlorine without returning indoors.

Terraced alfresco dining areas overlook rolling Umbrian countryside—the view extends south across vineyards and olive groves toward distant ridgelines. This is where sunset meals happen, wine glasses catching the last golden light, conversation drifting from dinner logistics to philosophy as darkness settles. A barbecue facility stands ready for grilled meats and vegetables, smoke drifting through evening air.

The organic vegetable garden and small orchard offer tactile connection to the land. Guests—particularly families with children—can pick tomatoes still warm from afternoon sun, harvest basil and rosemary for evening pasta, gather apples or pears depending on season. This transforms vacation meals into genuine food experiences rather than mere consumption.

Shaded garden zones provide respite during the hottest afternoon hours. Sun loungers cluster in sheltered spots beneath mature trees, creating reading corners and quiet conversation spaces separate from pool activity. The grounds feel spacious enough that you never sense crowding, even with twenty-eight guests simultaneously present.

An annexe wellness area (available upon request at additional cost) contains a sauna and jacuzzi, while a fully equipped gym occupies adjacent space—ideal for guests who maintain fitness routines even while on holiday.

Location: Umbria and the Surrounding Area

Ciaramicola Italy sits in Val di Perle, within Umbria’s officially designated “Green Heart of Italy”—a region where woodland covers thirty percent of the landscape. This positioning offers immediate access to hiking and cycling trails threading through protected countryside, yet places you within striking distance of some of Italy’s most culturally significant destinations.

The village immediately adjacent to the villa hosts three traditional Umbrian restaurants serving regional pasta (hand-rolled pappardelle, handmade tagliatelle), wild boar specialities, and wine from local producers. These establishments maintain authentic Umbrian character—no tourist menus, no English-language descriptions. A short stroll puts you at family tables where grandmothers still oversee kitchen operations.

Tuoro Sul Trasimeno, approximately 12 kilometres away, provides more comprehensive dining and retail amenities while maintaining authentic character. The town sits on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, Italy’s largest inland lake outside the Alpine region. Boat hire services operate seasonally, offering day trips to Isola Polvese and Isola Maggiore—small islands featuring restaurants, walking trails, and perspectives of the lake that feel removed from mainland tourism.

Lake Trasimeno itself—just 8 kilometres from Ciaramicola Italy—offers swimming, sunbathing at managed beach areas, and the specific calm associated with inland lakes rather than coastal waters. The northern shore near Passignano sul Trasimeno (15km away) hosts sailing schools and water sports facilities.

Umbertide, 18 kilometres distant, presents medieval fortress architecture, riverside positioning on the Tiber, and a functioning community rather than a preserved museum. The Rocca fortress dominates the skyline; churches throughout the town showcase Renaissance and medieval art. Year-round festivals—often featuring local food, wine, or music—provide authentic cultural engagement.

For cultural immersion, explore our Umbria travel guide, which details seasonal festivals, hiking routes, and wine regions specific to the area.

Cortona, 35 kilometres south in Tuscany proper, presents a hilltop town rich in Etruscan history. The town climbs steeply upward, stone streets narrowing as you ascend toward piazzas with sweeping valley views. Museums house Etruscan pottery and Renaissance paintings; churches contain significant medieval art. The atmosphere—while touristed—remains authentically Tuscan rather than manufactured.

Arezzo, approximately 50 kilometres away, anchors the upper Valdichiana valley with Renaissance architecture, a stunning cathedral featuring works by significant artists, and the famous Piazza Grande—regularly used as a film location and hosting antique markets monthly plus medieval jousting competitions on summer weekends. Local osterias serve traditional Tuscan cuisine; regional Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino wines are available throughout the town’s wine bars and restaurants.

Perugia, the Umbrian capital approximately 35 kilometres northwest, contains the National Gallery of Umbria (featuring significant Renaissance works), medieval streets arranged in concentric circles around the Rocca fortress, and excellent food markets. The Festa dei Ceri (Festival of the Candles) happens each May 15th—a procession featuring massive wooden structures carried through medieval streets.

Regional wine routes connect Montepulciano (40km), Montalcino (45km), and smaller producers throughout the Val d’Orcia. Many wineries offer tastings and purchases; several accommodate group visits with advance notice.

The nearest airports are Perugia-Sant’Egidio (Sant’Egidio airport, 50km away, approximately 50-minute drive) and Florence Amerigo Vespucci (110km, approximately 100-minute drive). Both offer car rental. Direct trains connect Tuoro Sul Trasimeno station (12km away) to Florence and Rome.

Seasonal climate: April through October offers reliably warm weather suitable for pool use and outdoor dining. July and August reach peak heat (often exceeding 30°C) with minimal rainfall. May, June, and September provide ideal conditions—warm, not oppressively hot, with manageable tourist numbers. Winter (November through March) brings cool weather and occasional rainfall, though Umbrian winters rarely reach Alpine severity.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Ciaramicola Italy accommodates specific group dynamics more effectively than others.

Multi-generational families—grandparents, adult children, grandchildren—benefit from apartment separation. Three generations can share meals without constant proximity, reducing inevitable friction. Adult children can manage their own children’s schedules independently while remaining within family gathering zones.

Friends’ groups celebrating specific milestones—weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversary trips—find the five-apartment structure ideal. Close friends occupy adjacent apartments, creating intimate social bubbles while maintaining the broader group connection. The 50-seat dining hall transforms evening meals into genuine celebrations rather than logistical exercises.

Corporate groups and team-building retreats use Ciaramicola Italy for off-site meetings. The professional kitchen accommodates team cooking activities; the pool and outdoor spaces facilitate non-work socializing; apartment privacy allows small-group breakout sessions.

Extended family reunions—cousins dispersed across continents gathering annually—find the five-apartment layout intuitive. Each nuclear family occupies an apartment; shared meals happen naturally; the grounds accommodate multi-generational activities without forced togetherness.

Couples seeking romantic escapes should consider smaller villas. Twenty-eight-person capacity means Ciaramicola Italy rarely functions as an intimate retreat.
