Pozza


This is a property where top-notch form and function combine in unequivocal style, providing an idyllic base from which to explore the myriad pretty hilltop towns and villages.


Close to Lake Trasimeno and with impressive views towards Montepulciano and the hills beyond, Pozza is a stone villa on the Umbrian-Tuscan border that is built in a traditional style and decorated with modern design touches.

The main house comfortably sleeps six guests across three bedrooms, making it ideal for a family or a group of friends. For larger gatherings of up to 12 guests, you can easily expand your space by renting additional rooms in the guest house.

The property has been expertly styled – it is a haven of insta-worthy colour on a soothing background of white walls - while retaining top levels of comfort and homeliness. The high-spec kitchen has top-brand appliances, as well as interesting collections of glassware and ceramics, while the bedrooms are breezy and inviting.

Pozza is a house where the living is easy – whether inside or out. There is a large private garden and a dining table, that seats up to 12, on a covered terrace, while an outdoor sofa, armchairs under a bamboo pergola, and a hot tub complete the pretty picture.

The stunning heated pool with child friendly cover (12m x 7m) is of private use.

Pozza is part of a larger building with 2 apartments on the other side of the building, not disturbing the privacy of the guests staying at Pozza.

Please note that the Pozza villa can be booked alongside rooms in our guest house, Mazzo. If you are traveling with a larger group of 6 to 8 guests, you can secure exclusive use of Mazzo for an additional €1,500 per week (which includes the first extra room). A second and third room can be added for €1,000 each per week. View the Mazzo property here.

Connected to the main villa by external stairs, this layout offers the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy. It is an ideal setup for two families holidaying together who still want their own space to retreat to, or for providing older children and grandparents with their own comfortable bedrooms.

Bathrooms

All the bedrooms have en suite shower rooms where the understated resin shower walls and floors are complemented by high-performance fixtures and fittings, and individually styled with artisanal tiles as basin splashbacks.

Kitchen

Modern lighting, old mirrors and interesting collections of glassware and woodware complete the room. Expertly equipped, there is large Smeg oven with five-burner gas hob, a dishwasher and fridge with freezer. With ample workspace, this is an inviting kitchen where cooking for pleasure is easy.

Living rooms

The large sitting area has a traditional cotto floor and whitewashed beamed ceiling, offset by colourful, comfortable sofas and armchairs with bold Missoni cushions. Richly textured fabrics, carefully curated brocante finds, modern lighting and a woodburning stove for the cooler months, complete the room. In the dining room, old and new, natural and industrial, sit comfortably together.

Owner tips


Where to eat

At Seven in Monteleone d'Orvieto, two brothers make sure everyone feels warmly welcome for lunch or dinner. The owners serve antipasti such as the truffle medaglione and fried courgette flowers, follow with pasta and a tagliata, and don't forget to order tiramisu. Lillotatini is a cosy family restaurant in an idyllic corner of Panicale, cooking in true Umbrian style, try the toasted bread with chicken liver pâté, the pasta with traditional ragù and the pork ribs or peposo. Children are very welcome, too.

Don't miss

On summer weekends, don't miss Picnicco at the Madrevite vineyards. Bring a blanket, pick up something from the food trucks, open a bottle of the estate's wine and watch the sun go down to festival like vibes (Saturdays and Sundays in summer only).
