Location:

Villa Toppello is nestled on the border of Tuscany and Umbria, in the beautiful and rather sleepy Trasimeno.

Trasimeno is a ten-minute drive from the villa, and all local amenities can be accessed such as supermarkets, restaurants, bars and banks.

Close to all the art cities of Tuscany, the area surrounding Lake Trasimeno is rich with history and cultural heritage.

Lake Trasimeno is located in the green heart of Umbria, amidst charming white water lilies. This is a nature lover’s haven and is home to wild ducks, cormorants, kites and kingfishers.

An area of outstanding beauty, visitors will marvel at the majestic woods, sunflower and corn fields, vineyards and olive groves, while agriculture is still carried out following traditional techniques.

Several charming towns are located on Lake Trasimeno, as well as its islands; visitors can enjoy the unspoilt nature and boat trips on the lake. Wildlife fans and birdwatchers will be in their element!

The largest island on the lake is Polvese, which is used as a public park. The San Secondo monastery is housed here as well as the Church of San Giuliano and restored fourteenth castle.

The small, historic town of Castel Rigone is where one of the most significant architectural masterpieces of the Umbrian Renaissance is located: the Sanctuary of Maria Santissima dei Miracoli.

This part of Umbria preserves many local traditions, including the cuisine. Flavoured with the fine oil from the Trasimeno hills, fish stock should be tasted, along with rice in a white sauce made with perch fillets and eel. It’s no coincidence the festival of fish held in September attracts many tourists.

Craftsmanship is still very strong in this area. The entire world is familiar with lace from Maggiore Island! Whilst all the main cities of Tuscany, such as Florence and Siena are just a day trip’s activity.
