Villa Tamburini | 7-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Camucia

Fourteen guests arrive at Villa Tamburini in Camucia, Tuscany, and immediately understand why this sprawling countryside residence becomes the backdrop for family stories that last years. A short walk downhill leads to Camucia’s bustling piazza—where locals queue at the bakery and café tables overflow onto cobblestones—yet the villa itself sits elevated on private grounds, offering complete seclusion without isolation. This is a luxury villa rental in Camucia designed for groups who refuse to compromise between space, comfort, and genuine connection to Tuscan village life.

Inside Villa Tamburini

Villa Tamburini sleeps 13 guests across 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, spread across 450 square metres of carefully proportioned living space. The layout splits across two floors, with thoughtful ground-level access ensuring families with mobility concerns or toddlers navigate without stairs.

Ground Floor opens into a sequence of interconnected social spaces. The first living room features deep sofas arranged around a functioning fireplace, a television for quieter evenings, and a dining table where the group gathers for breakfast. Adjacent, a second living room mirrors this layout—sofas, fireplace, television—creating natural breakout zones when guests need breathing room. The fully-fitted kitchen occupies the heart of the ground floor, equipped with a professional-grade oven, gas hob, American-style fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster, and both espresso and traditional moka pot coffee makers. A substantial dining area adjoins the kitchen, while a separate kitchenette provides a secondary preparation zone for snacks and hot drinks throughout the day.

Four bedrooms occupy the ground floor. Two rooms contain twin beds (ideal for children or friends preferring separate sleeping arrangements), while two bedrooms offer double beds with attached en-suite bathrooms—each featuring a shower, sink, and WC. An additional shared bathroom with shower, sink, and WC serves the twin-bedded rooms. This configuration proves invaluable for larger groups; families can claim their own wings while maintaining convenient bathroom access.

First Floor continues the entertaining and sleeping arrangements. A third kitchenette sits at the head of the stairs, followed by a third living room—this one more intimate, with sofas and television, perfect for film nights or conversations when the ground floor buzzes with activity. Three further bedrooms occupy the upper level: two double-bedded rooms and one single bedroom, accommodating additional guests. Two bathrooms (each with shower, sink, and WC) serve the upper-floor sleeping quarters.

Throughout the villa, natural light floods through large windows. Ceiling beams—original to the structure—speak to the building’s age without demanding restoration drama. Interiors favour warm creams, soft yellows, and honeyed golds; the colour palette soothes rather than stimulates. Practical amenities include satellite television, Wi-Fi connectivity reaching all rooms, air conditioning for summer heat, central heating for shoulder seasons, and a washing machine for extended stays. Hairdryers appear in every bedroom.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step beyond the villa’s doors and the landscape unfolds. The gardens span generous acreage—lawns roll toward distant tree lines, while ornamental shrubs in full flower punctuate the greenery. Panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside extend uninterrupted; you sense the curvature of Tuscany’s hills from multiple vantage points.

The private fenced swimming pool measures 10 metres by 5 metres, with depths ranging from 1.2 metres to 1.8 metres. The water warms from May through September, extending the season considerably. Sun loungers, parasols, and deckchairs cluster poolside; an outdoor shower rinses away chlorine without returning indoors. An adjacent gazebo seats ten people comfortably around a dining table—sunset dinners here become ritual. A covered lounge area provides shade during the hottest afternoon hours, scattered with small tables and chairs for drinks and reading.

Two additional outdoor amenities anchor entertaining: a wood-burning oven produces pizzas and breads (the scent carries across the garden on evening breezes), while a barbecue handles grilled vegetables, meats, and fish. A small cluster of outbuildings includes parking for multiple vehicles. The gardens feel entirely private—fencing ensures children and pets cannot wander onto neighbouring land—yet the views suggest limitless space beyond.

Location: Camucia and the Surrounding Area

Camucia itself—an authentic Tuscan village of perhaps 3,000 residents—sits approximately 3 kilometres south of Cortona, the region’s most celebrated hilltop town. Within a ten-minute downhill walk from Villa Tamburini, Camucia’s central piazza reveals bakeries selling pane toscano (unsalted Tuscan bread) alongside pastries, a supermarket for groceries and household supplies, and at least six restaurants ranging from traditional trattoria to casual pizzeria. The village has preserved the rhythms of smaller Italian towns: shuttered afternoons, market mornings, and evening passeggiata when neighbours greet one another on quiet streets.

Cortona, 3 kilometres away, occupies a dramatically different scale. This medieval hill town crowns a ridge overlooking the Val di Chiana, encircled by original defensive walls. Narrow cobbled streets climb between Renaissance palaces, contemporary art galleries, and independent boutiques. The Museo dell’Accademia Etrusca houses one of Italy’s finest collections of pre-Roman Etruscan artefacts. The Archaeological Park preserves foundations of Etruscan tombs and Roman-era structures in their landscape context. Piazza della Repubblica and Piazza Signorelli offer sightlines across three provinces on clear days.

Lake Trasimeno—Italy’s fourth-largest lake—lies 10 kilometres northwest. Unlike the Adriatic’s commercial beaches, Trasimeno’s shoreline feels intimate: sandy coves, small ports where fishermen still tie boats, towns like Passignano sul Trasimeno and Tuoro sul Trasimeno hosting lakeside restaurants serving fresh catch. Water temperatures reach 23°C by August, suitable for swimming, kayaking, and boat hire.

The Umbrian city of Perugia rises 50 kilometres northwest, famous internationally for chocolate production. The Perugina and Buitoni factories offer tours explaining how hazelnuts transform into gianduja. The Rocca Paolina medieval fortress dominates the skyline; the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria houses masterworks by Perugino and Piero della Francesca. Street-level aperitivo culture rivals any Italian city of similar size.

Siena, approximately 70 kilometres north, ranks among Europe’s most photographed medieval cities. The Piazza del Campo curves like an amphitheatre; the Duomo’s exterior combines black and white marble in hypnotic patterns. The Palio horse race (held twice yearly in summer) transforms the city into controlled chaos. Art museums, wine bars, and gelaterie occupy every corner.

Best months to visit: April through May (spring wildflowers, mild 18–22°C temperatures, fewer tourists) and September through October (harvest season, warm afternoons cooling to comfortable evenings, wine festivals). July and August peak with heat (28–32°C) and crowds; winter (November–February) brings rain and occasional snow at higher elevations, though heating keeps the villa comfortable.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational family groups: Three separate living rooms prevent competing television preferences. Grandparents can rest while children play. Ground-floor bedrooms and bathrooms eliminate stair negotiation for those with mobility limitations.

Families with young children and toddlers: The fenced grounds provide secure outdoor play. The pool opens May–September (not suitable for very small infants without constant adult supervision). Two kitchenettes allow simultaneous meal preparation. High chairs and travel cots are available. The rural setting offers peaceful days without navigating crowded piazzas with prams.

Groups of friends celebrating milestones: Six bedrooms comfortably sleep twelve adults. The gazebo, pool area, and outdoor kitchen transform the garden into an all-day entertainment venue. Multiple living spaces prevent the forced togetherness that stresses friendships.

Extended families combining multiple nuclear units: Each floor functions semi-independently with its own kitchenette, living room, and bathroom access. Parents maintain oversight while teenagers enjoy autonomy.

Couples seeking space for guests: The villa accommodates a couple in the master en-suite bedroom plus visiting children or friends in the remaining six bedrooms without anyone feeling crowded.

The villa does not suit those prioritizing beachfront access (Trasimeno is pleasant but 10 km away) or those needing nightlife beyond village restaurants. It suits deliberate, intentional group holidays where the villa itself—its gardens, kitchen, and gathering spaces—becomes the holiday’s centrepoint.
