Accommodates 4 in the apartment; 6 in the villa as a whole.The local area is non-industrialized - just agriculture and horticulture; vineyards, olive groves, orchards; the air is so pure, guests find they sleep better on their first night than they've ever done in their lives.The nearby lake and beaches offer a wealth of activities and, while totally private, the villa is only half an hour away from Perugia, with day trips possible to Rome, Pisa and Assisi, the home of St Francis.see
