VILLA ZAIRA

VILLA ZAIRA 

Sleeps 20
Bedrooms 10,  Bathrooms 10
Perugia, Umbria-Italy

This villa can accommodate 20 guests in 10 bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms. Thick stone walls, terracotta tiled floors, exposed wooden beams, combined with contemporary furnishing elements and a renovated XI century church: this Umbrian estate features the most comfortable experience one could ask. This unique property is located in a panoramic position, in the green heart of Italy, affording both privacy and independence. The hamlet, close to some evocative small villages and not far from some of the main attractions of central Italy, is tastefully decorated, with chic new furniture paired with rustic elements, and modern comforts such as wireless
internet, air conditioning, heated pool and allaround views. The close by restaurant serves local, earthy cuisine based on seasonal ingredients, accompanied by quality regional house wines. Outside, there is a pergola, a wellgroomed lawn, and an infinity-edge swimming pool. To reach the villa there is 3 kilometres of white gravel road. Please note that the roads are in good conditions but occasionally steep and with little stones as all the country roads, so they are not suitable for low-height cars. There are few metres to reach the house from the parking spot and stairs to get to the main doors. The swimming pool is accessed through stairs. A complimentary shuttle service from the properties to the restaurant of the estate is available every evening upon reservation (limited places available): please note this 8 seats is serving all the villas in the estate.

The home design, approached with research in the historical context, results in a mix of styles: despite the traditional and seemingly rundown facade, once one steps in, it is immediately clear that it is a programmatic design. Exposed wooden beamed ceilings offer a rustic feel: countryside elements like this with uneven surfaces are opposed to the well-polished lines of the furnishing and marble found in the bathrooms. Elements of classic Italian rustic architecture, such as airy vaulted ceilings, are combined with contemporary touches, like the furnishing used in living spaces. The main villa features original restored frescos highlighted by pearly-white walls, giving it a unique taste that never fails to impress. Ancient yet extremely comfortable, this is a country-chic retreat full of light and a welcoming vibe, blending traditional and contemporary Umbrian Architecture.
