Show all villas to rent in Italy

This lavishly renovated tower-turned-villa in Umbria has luxurious touches at every turn. Each guest will find their own pleasure; fitness lovers will hit the sauna and gym and the media room will enchant movie buffs. Bookworms will bury themselves in the extensive English library, while the chef of the family will perfect their pizza at the outdoor stone oven. All this, set above rolling hills at the border of Tuscany and Lazio. This holiday villa is split between two buildings, with a courtyard between. The original 13th century tower spreads over four floors - to avoid the stairs, choose one of the ground floor bedrooms in the other building. The grounds were designed by a famous Italian landscape artist. Here, beneath a pergola dripping with leaves, youll gaze out past the infinity pool to mountains beyond. Imagine breakfast on the stone terrace beside the sunroom - perfezione! Overlooking the national park of Monte Rufeno, this holiday villa is set on a vast estate and is world apart from city life. Still, its accessible - just 9 km from the A1 Autostrada connecting Rome and Florence. The nearest town is a precious medieval village above the Tiber whilst other idyllic places to visit include Citta della Pieve, Orvieto and the wonderful waters of Lago di Bolsena.

The on-site farm produces excellent wine, olive oil and high-quality beef, all organically certified. Indeed, the whole area is a food lovers paradise. Umbria is home to the world famous salty Pecorino cheese, chestnuts, truffles and crisp dry Orvieto wine. Some of Italys finest wine areas are on the doorstep and there are many small family-run vineyards which welcome visitors.

Romeis two hours away on the Autostrada, and served by regular trains from the local town, which is just a 10-minute drive from Torre.
