Great Countryside Getaway

We had a wonderful Christmas time in the tranquil Italian Countryside. Coming from the buzzing city, this place was exactly what we were looking for. Calm, cozy and big enough to host the family for a short week away.The house offers enough space for up to 8 adults, which each couple having their own bathroom. Everything is exceptionally clean and the house is WELL equipped for cooking, and surviving in general.The owner keeps you in close coordination over the days to ensure your satisfaction. We were very happy with our stay there and would recommend it 100%.

Great property and host, convenient base for Tuscany/Umbria

Lovely property with ancient stone walls but all modern conveniences. Great outdoor spaces as well and great pool. Beautiful views over Lake Trasimeno. Outstanding communication from Barbara, the host, who also had great suggestions about the region. She arranged two dinners for us at the villa which were excellent. Curated local wine at villa was great, esp the Stucchio. Convenient base to explore many of the small towns of Tuscany and Umbria -we highly recommend Pienza and Gubbio especially, and the castle at Castiglione del Lago is also great (eat at L'Aquario). Highly recommend the propery and the host!

Perfect family holiday

We had a fantastic time at Barbara's villa. It's well set up and nice and cool for the July heat (good AC in bedrooms) and fans/sufficient cool walls downstairs. The views were beautiful from the house, we loved having breakfast outside and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoons in the huge pool. The kids loved the table tennis table and trampoline and we all enjoyed a good BBQ. Barbara could not have been more helpful and responsive with our queries. The road up to the house is quite steep and bumpy so be prepared for that but it didn't put us off exploring each day. We'd love to come back some time. Thank you Barbara! each morning and

Beautiful and Peaceful Countryside

If you’re looking for a quiet and private vacation, this is for you. The views are picturesque and the house is unique and lovely. We enjoyed a family vacation with four adults and two young teens. The little town is quaint and charming with nice restaurants and access to boating on the lake. The house is a bit off the beaten path offering some pros and cons. Once off the main road, it is a bit of a drive up a winding, narrow dirt road but the property is lovely. The host, Barbara, was very communicative and easy to reach. Instructions to the house seem complicated, but they are very specific, which made it easy.

Perfect Villa

Our stay at Villa Prima Luce Trasimeno has been magical. Barbara has been the most attentive host, and she treated us like family. The villa is clean and well stocked. Everything is in working order, the beds & linens are lovely. Follow her directions exactly and you will not get lost when arriving. The grounds, and gardens and view are breath taking. Barbara was so attentive through out or stay. She had fantastic suggestions for restaurants. She helped us arrange for a cooking class one night and for dinner another night. Chef Annalisa and her staff were a highlight for us. The meals were Michelin quality. For the cooking class, Monica came along to translate. We all fell in love! The villa is a perfect location to see the Italian countryside or to visit Florence or Perugia or Cortona for the day. The town nearby, Passignano sul Trasimeno, is quaint and quiet. Simply perfect. Barbara also recommended Osteria del Carro for pizza one evening. It was wonderful!! We also loved sitting around the large fireplace in the evening. Everything you need is there!! We did discover a nearby winery that was the best winery experience we have ever had. Viandante del Cielo. Barbara sends videos as the dates of your stay are approaching. They are a perfect way to become acquainted with the villa and how everything works. They are very informative and worth referring back to as needed.

Villa Primaluce stay

The communication with the owners was by far the best we had so far. The view was spectacular. We wished the air conditioning in two of the bedrooms was better but it was not bad. The cottage was exceptional. The cleanliness was excellent and the condition of all but a few of the outlets were great. The drive up was extremely difficult. If I could change one thing, it would be to pave or at a minimum maintain the gravel road up to the Villa. Also don't forget to bring mosquito repellant. Overall our family had a great experience, the best we have had as a family vacation.

Much more than the 3 courses listed out. :-) I have vacationed in over 45 countries and this was one of the most seamless experiences. Thank you again for having us! The views, the setting, the pool, the outdoor spaces, all of it make for great place to get together, enjoy some great food, wine, and company. We also did some wine tastings and explored some local towns. Thanks again!

Beautiful view and spacious property

We stayed two weeks in late April and early May. The house and grounds are beautiful with many amenities that our family and friends enjoyed. The location near Trasimeno is perfect for touring Tuscany and Umbria. The hosts, Barbara and Leo, are very easy-going and helpful. We also asked the chef Annalisa for several dinners - and everything was superb. It’s a natural environment that the family would love - especially waking up to a rooster, donkey, and dog in the distance. The Roman road down to the lake was one of our favorites, lined with old cypress trees. The house inside is quiet with every mod con - truly a magnificent place to call home for two weeks! Also, we had an electric car and had no trouble navigating the road - just make sure to follow instructions and take the correct road leading up to the property. You do not need a Jeep or manual transmission. Just find the right road via the owners’ instructions.

Beautiful in every way

We were a group of 5 friends that stayed at the villa and we all loved it! Barbara was very easy and response to communicate with both before and during our stay. Barabara helped us book chef Annalisa for a dinner and a pasta cooking class. HIGHLY recommend the pasta cooking class! Pictures do not do justice to the lovely villa! It is more gorgeous in person, and the views of the lake are beautiful. The outdoor spaces are beautiful. There are several different ones to chose from. While the pool was not open when we visited in early April, it is a beautiful large pool and setting. We would love to return with our entire family to enjoy the property. The washer was very easy to use, and we choose to hang our clothes to dry on the clothes line. The property is remote and little difficult to find the first time, so highly recommend arriving when it is light outside. We did day trips to wineries, Marmore Falls, Catona, and spent a day exploring the Transimeno lake area. The villa and location was a perfect for us!
