Casa Castagni

A lovely house within easy reach of Perugia, Cortona, Montepulciano and the whole of southern Tuscany. The neighbours are really friendly, but you can equally just stock up at the excellent supermarket in town and spend your time chilling in the private garden.

A lovely place to stay in a wonderful part of the world. The village of Piana is very peaceful but the nearby town of Castiglione del Lago is much more lively. There are loads of places to visit nearby and in the evenings in summer we particularly enjoyed the local Festas. My favourite place to visit is Montepulciano, about 30 minutes away.

Casa Castagni is a lovely, comfortable, roomy house in a beautiful, tranquil spot. There are delightful country walks from the door. The nearby town of Castiglione del Lago has a castle and spectacular lake views, and many attractive shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Lovely hill towns such as Cortona, Montepulciano are a short drive, and a little further will take you to Perugia and Assisi. A perfect spot for a family or group of friends.

A little slice of Italian rustic heavenI stayed at Casa Castagni with my husband last summer and we absolutely loved it. It’s a beautiful renovated old farmhouse that is old-school Umbrian charm personified.The bedrooms are cool and spacious with comfy beds. I loved the big kitchen for preparing food in and we enjoyed sinking wine in the back garden among the olive trees as the sun set!The surrounding countryside is stunning and the village of Castiglione del Lago is just lovely - great shops for local fresh produce and very friendly locals - and the nearby Lake Trasimeno is perfect for swimming and lounging all day at.A car to get about in is essential but other than that you’ll have all you need here. We left feeling completely recharged, relaxed

A Tranquil Gem - Casa CastagniCasa Castagni set in the Umbrian countryside is a real gem. The accommodation is just perfect. So tranquil, you will start to relax from the moment you arrive.The beautiful hillside town of Castiglione Del Lago, ringed within medieval walls, looking out over Lake Trasimeno is only a 10 minute drive from the house. The lake is just lovely for a dip. I would recommend Bar Darsena down by the lake for a sundowner.The stunning Tuscan hillside towns of Montepulciano & Cortona are only 30 minutes away by car. Both are just too beautiful for words. Grab a wine or a cocktail and just sit in the square and soak up the atmosphere. The wonderfully elegant belle epoque Cafe Poliziano in Montepulciano has a panoramic terrace looking out over the Tuscan countryside. Not to be missed!Along with the fine wines, delicious food and scrummy gelatos - you will not want to leave this most beautiful part of Italy.
