Marsciano, Perugia (provins)

Lake Trasimeno

Tucked away among the rolling hills between Cerqueto and Schiavo, where olive trees shimmer in the afternoon sun and the rhythm of life slows to the whisper of the wind, lies a timeless Umbrian retreat. Down a gentle dirt road that winds for about a kilometer through the countryside, the property emerges like a secret kept by the land itself — a restored farmhouse of stone and brick, its walls steeped in quiet history.
This is not just a house; it’s a way of life.
Step through the main entrance and you’re welcomed into a spacious country kitchen, the heart of the home, where the scent of wood smoke mingles with that of fresh bread from the built-in oven. French doors open to a covered porch that looks out across the landscape — a natural invitation to linger over long, lazy meals under the Umbrian sky.
From the kitchen, graceful arches lead into the living areas, where terracotta floors and exposed beams speak of centuries of craftsmanship. Every detail has been lovingly preserved — the textures, the colors, the sense of continuity between past and present. A bathroom with a window brings in the daylight, and beyond, another cozy sitting room offers space for reading, conversation, or simply watching the light change over the hills.
Upstairs, reached by a beautiful wooden staircase, a peaceful hallway connects the home’s private spaces. There’s a study — perfect for quiet work or reflection — and two generous double bedrooms, each with views of the surrounding countryside. The master suite includes a large en-suite bathroom with a window that frames the morning light. Another bathroom serves the second bedroom, while a second living room, complete with a fireplace, can easily transform into a third bedroom, blending practicality with charm.
Renovated in the early 2000s with great care and respect for tradition, the property combines rustic authenticity with modern comfort: wooden beam ceilings, terracotta floors, double-glazed windows, security features, and an independent LPG heating system.
A few steps away, a small, self-contained apartment offers further possibilities — a guesthouse, studio, or space for visitors, complete with its own kitchen, mezzanine bedroom, bathroom, and laundry area.
Outside, 3,500 square meters of fenced land unfold like a private sanctuary: fruit trees, an olive grove, two wells supplying pure filtered water, and a shaded carport for two vehicles. Here, life is guided by the seasons — olive harvests in autumn, sun-dappled mornings in summer, the warmth of the fireplace in winter.
For those seeking an authentic Umbrian experience — a home rooted in the landscape, where tradition and tranquility coexist — this hillside haven near Marsciano offers not just a property, but a promise: to slow down, to breathe, and to truly live.
