Lake Trasimeno

This charming, historic villa is situated in one of the most breathtaking locations on Lake Trasimeno. A truly extraordinary place, where you can enjoy the magic of the lake in a unique and exclusive way. The property is located in the small village of Monte del Lago, with all shopping facilities in the immediate vicinity, but with guaranteed privacy. The villa is full of fascinating historical references, with its fine mural paintings, Italian gardens and even a medieval tower! The terraces are the perfect place to enjoy the incredible view overlooking the lake. It is a place of rare and pure beauty, where you can breathe history in every corner.

The residence is located in the pretty village of Monte del Lago, which sits on a promontory on the lake shore. The village took on its present form in the 14th century, when the government of Perugia expanded the defences on Lake Trasimeno. Parts of the residence and in particular the former watchtower are still witnesses from that time.

Guido Pompilj and his wife, the marvellous poet Vittoria Aganoor Pompilj, one of the most important figures in Italian poetry between the 19th and 20th centuries, built the villa in the 19th century.
It is surrounded on three sides by a high wall, which ensures the property's privacy. On one side, there is a stately olive grove with the possibility of building a swimming pool with lake view!

The villa has three floors, two of which are habitable; a third level consists of the carefully renovated cellars and utility rooms, which are often used for exhibitions or for literary readings, theatrical performances and other cultural events.

The first floor is connected to the outside in two ways: there is an external staircase from the front garden and an internal staircase. On this floor (the piano nobile) sits a beautiful apartment with three large living rooms with wall paintings, a kitchen, a pantry, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and various hallways. The main internal staircase leads to the second floor, where the second apartment is located. The apartment also consists of three living rooms, two of which open onto a large terrace called ‘La Terrazza della Poetessa’, which offers a magnificent view of the lake. There is also a kitchen, three bedrooms, a study, three bathrooms and a large entrance hall.

Moving up the stairs to the next floor, you will find yourself in a room (altana) with large windows on all sides. This connects to a small terrace, where you can enjoy a magnificent 360° view of the lake and the surrounding green hills. A wonderful place to relax and give free rein to your creativity! The villa is surrounded by two beautiful Italian gardens, with tall trees and beautiful circular flowerbeds at the front and back.

This fascinating villa could be used as a private residence or for tourist accommodation – the possibilities are numerous! The listed villa requires some restoration and refurbishing; this mainly concerns the building services, the bathrooms and the kitchens. The structural condition is good.
