Home description
La Contea is a renovated farmhouse situated on the border of Tuscany & Umbria and is 2 km from the small village of Pozzuolo in Umbria, central Italy. The property offers tennis courts, swimming pool, fishing lake and fantastic views of the surrounding landscape.
La Contea is situated in the heart of the Umbria countryside and is exceptionally good value for money. The grounds offer plenty of room for seclusion or company, depending on your mood. The rooms are spacious and welcoming. The owners are very pleasant people who will see to all your needs.
In the local village of Pozzuolo there is a bank, pharmacy, boutiques, a small supermarket, a butcher and a petrol station. The larger town of Castiglione del Lago is 6 km away which is home to Italy’s 4th largest lake Lago Trasimeno where you will find two large supermarkets and a large range of other shops.
The residents of the Pozzuolo are wonderfully pleasant people. They are very easy to start a conversation with if you feel like practicing your Italian! As with all our locations around the lake, there are many sights, which are all easily reached in both Tuscany and Umbria.
Within a 10 km radius of the house you have access also Lago di Chuisi and Lago di Montepulciano. The historic medieval towns of Tuoro (where Hannibal defeated the Romans) Paciano, Panicale, Castiglione del Lago and Todi are all within easy reach and make ideal morning or afternoon visits.

The Umbria region
This secret Umbrian idyll is still very much unspoilt and offers excellent transport links to many of the delightful towns and Cities of the region. The location of Lago Trasimeno is excellent as surrounding area offers easy access to some of the most delightful places in Italy; Perugia (40 mins), Assisi (50 mins), Siena (1 hr), Arezzo (45 mins), Cortona (20 mins), Florence (1 Hr), Pisa (1 ¾ hrs) and Rome (2 ½ hrs).
Being large but shallow, Lake Trasimeno (at 128 square kilometres, the fourth largest lake in Italy) is a haven for a wide variety of birds and other wildlife. The lake is surrounded by a flat, alluvial plain, then a ring of gentle hills, where woodland alternatives with fields of sunflowers, maize, vineyards and olive groves. In fact, the economy of the area depends largely on agriculture, together with the local’s love of craftwork, notably the famous lace of Isola Maggiore, ceramics and articles in copper and wrought iron.
Castiglione del Lago / Pozzuolo area
The Trasimeno area is part of Umbria, but culturally and geographically it straddles both Umbria and Southern Tuscany. It contains features of both, being an area where the borders between the two regions is intriguingly blurred, in a language and landscape as well as in the flavours of its cuisine and its traditions. Umbria is located in the exact centre of Italy, at a point which since ancient times has been a meeting point for routes for travellers from central Italy and northern Europe heading for Rome.
The area is not a busy transit area, however but the kind of place that people stumble upon by chance, then visit regularly. There is no need to stumble across it, though, as now you have your chance to discover this magical region.
