About this villa rental
This stunning contemporary villa was designed and built to follow the movement of the sun. The sun rises behind the hill where Lavandoloso is positioned and as the day ends and the sun dips over the horizon every room is bathed in soft, rich colours. Well-kept lawns flow down the hillside to the private swimming pool, again positioned to bath in the Umbrian sun till the last possible moment.
The large shaded loggia set at the centre of the villa is on the same axis as the sun and furnished with a large dining table and a seating area with a deck floor. This is where one enjoys the stunning views whilst enjoying breakfast, dinner, or just reading a book of the unspoilt Umbrian countryside made up of castles, fortified hamlets and hilltop villages.
Granaio Lavandoloso is the creation of a famous roman architect who wanted to find the perfect balance between nature and man. On how to insert into an unspoilt countryside a contemporary home, leaving the smallest footprint possible but ensuring all modern comforts are there. The house has an array of solar panels which make it entirely self-sufficient and designed horizontally so not to disturb the hillside.
The centre of activity as with all Italian homes is the beautifully designed kitchen part of a large open plan area including a dining area and a sitting area with high ceilings and large glass windows and doors that constantly enable us to enjoy those beautiful views. The fittings and furnishings are all of a high quality, the kitchen is very well equipped, modern bathrooms, a projector in the sitting room and in the master bedroom there is a double bathtub on a deck. No compromise on comfort here.
There is a large selection of untouched villages to explore in the area, with great local restaurants to choose from. The famous medieval city of Todi is just a 15 mins drive, Perugia is nearby as are all the beautiful Umbrian cities of Spoleto, Assisi and Orvieto. And you can fly into Perugia in the summer months or into Rome that is under two hours away. Umbria offers many surprises, from small markets to Etruscan and Roman remains to experience away from the crowds that you find further north in Tuscany.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
This is an amazing property, with an amazing view, managed by lovely people. The pictures don't quite do it justice. The house itself is unusual, with everything beautifully designed, right down to the crockery - and some clever technical features (like cooling, polished concrete floors). Then there are some wonderful outdoor spaces, including a stunning pergola and dining area right at the front of the house - and a beautiful pool. These give jaw-dropping views across the rolling Umbrian countryside (this is where you really need to be there, to believe it). Finally, the owners and housekeepers are just so lovely. Not only did they give us lots of information about the property and arrange a really smooth check in and check out, but when we told them we had a wheelchair user in our party, they made some adjustments that were extremely helpful (to be honest, it was already pretty accessible, which is why we'd chosen it in the first place, but these extra things made a difference and were greatly appreciated.One last thing - there is a fantastic Osteria (Osteria Novecento), very close to the house (a few minute's drive - or even walkable). It too has an amazing view. And the food is really great, with specials changing every day. We went 4 times during our stay because it was so good and convenient!In short, we really recommend this property - you will have the trip of a lifetime!
