Casa Bramasole, Luxury, Villa, Pool, Cook, Tuscany

Set on the mountain side with views of Lake Trasimeno, Flavum Bramasole combines rustic Italian with more modern Scandinavian and Italian designs - a stylish home in a stunning location.

Set on the mountain side with views of Lake Trasimeno, Flavum Bramasole combines rustic with modern Italian and contemporary Scandinavian designs - a stylish home in a stunning location with numerous ancient Tuscan and Umbrian towns within easy reach.

To the north of Lake Trasimeno, Flavum Bramasole is situated on the Tuscan and Umbrian border and beyond is the hilltop town of Cortona. Surrounded by typically green and lush Umbrian hills, the property is a stone farmhouse which has been converted into an extremely stylish property. The original character has been carefully maintained by local craftsman in keeping with the area, including the marvellous huge staircase leading to the first floor. Original brickwork, exposed beams, arches and hand-made terracotta tiles have been cleverly combined with modern luxuries such as heated bathroom floors, a stainless steel Boffi kitchen and Philippe Starck equipped bathrooms. This minimalist decorative style has an even more striking effect when mixed with classical Italian and Scandinavian designs.

Outside, meals can be enjoyed underneath the vine covered pergola surrounded by verdant forest. This is the most tranquil of locations and there is more than adequate space for a party of eight guests wishing to relax and unwind. Alternatively, for the more active, Lake Trasimeno with all its watersports is just down the road and Perugia and Montepulciano are only half an hour away, where one can soak up some history and culture. With its highly appealing interior décor, a good sized pool and the option of a cook and baby-sitter to hand, Flavum Bramasole is an exceptional find.
