Indagare Special: Casa del Lago Text Size A A A
This summer, a last-minute villa to rent in Italy’s gorgeous Umbria region is Casa del Lago, from the portfolio of Sanctuary, the renowned British villa rental company. As with all of its properties, Sanctuary offers two types of experiences: tailor-made and Sanctuary-hosted. The latter comes with a range of services, including meet-and-greet at the airport, daily maid service, a stocked fridge upon arrival and, most important, a local host, on call 24/7, who can help arrange nannies, cooks, sports instructors etc. Tailor-made means you’re booking on a villa-only basis, with the understanding that a long menu of extra services (maids, cooks, babysitters) is available to you.
Indagare members can book Casa del Lago, a beautifully restored farmhouse, tucked into vineyards and orchards near Lake Trasimeno, at a steep discount during the period of August 2-23:
Tailor-Made: $7,852 per week (down from $12,555) Sanctuary-hosted: $10,872 per week (down from $16,330).
Casa del Lago has six bedrooms, a 50-foot swimming pool, an open kitchen-living room and lots of outdoor spaces from which to soak up the serene ambience. It’s located 86 miles south of Florence, near the charming towns of Assisi and Perugia. Lake Trasimeno, a 10-minute drive away, offers a variety of water sports and excellent, authentic fish restaurants.
