You do not just turn a pile of bricks into a palazzo with a view in Umbria. Wealth and beauty may help, but they will not let you get away with it. A farm house on a mountain side has two stories joined by an outside staircase. Tiles are terracotta, windows are small. Neither will spoil the sunrise over the Lake Trasimeno, and your taste in interior decoration is to your own merits. Casa Bramasole will accommodate eight people in rustic Italian authenticity combined with the owners addiction to Scandinavian and Italian design classics.

Reminiscent of an Italian manor house, Casa Bramasole’s tall stone façades rise to a spectacular view of the Lago Trasinemo and the surrounding forest reservations. Local craftsmen have complied with strict regulations to preserve the original character, including the massive staircase to the first floor.

Take original brickwork and exposed beams, arches and hand-made terracotta floor tiles for authenticity. Add inventive convieniences such as heated bathroom floors, outdoor lighting and tv room. Throw in a stainless Boffi kitchen, Phillippe Starck-equipped bathrooms and bedrooms with fourposter beds. Top with a selection of Scandinavian and Italian design classic and a spread of genuine khelim rugs – and you might wish that your stay were forever. Large barbeque. Only 3 km away you can find a restaurant and a bar where you can buy also some things like wine, pasta or cheese or olive oil.

The rental price is exclusive additional cleaning, expences for heating and special requests. Tennis: 8 km. Golf courses: 33 km.

The only region on the Italian peninsula without a coastline, Umbria is as green as it is ountainous. Olive groves and wineyards undulate sleepy villages, while town walls on hilltops bear witness of merchant rivalry and religous feuds. Todays Umbrians take pride in their traditions and use any excuse to celebrate their duties as keepers of the national larder.
