The villa was great! We really enjoyed coming back to the villa after our days of adventuring. So quiet and relaxing. Multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind. We took opportunity of the pool every day. We also enjoyed the private chef prepared dinner, and had leftover food for the next night. Thanks Barbara for being a wonderful host!

Great place to stay, but for us, we were out exploring surrounding area most of the day. The villa is up a rough road, so you won’t want to go up/down too much. Pool is not used after summer.

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%.

Stunning villa with so many lovely touches, to make your stay so memorable!

From the warm welcome from Barbara and Leonardo to the stunning views and absolute comfort of the Villa your stay is sure to be amazing. We had so much fun by the lovely pool, cooking up a storm in the well equipped kitchen, enjoying excursions to the lovely local villages and generally feeling like we had arrived in paradise. The beds are very comfortable and the villa had so many lovely spots to just chill and remember what is important in life! A wonderful place for a very special getaway.

Villa Primaluce

One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The hosts were wonderful, they were always available when we had a question. They take very good care of this villa. Also, anyone going there should also take their suggestions. They were spot on. It is a magical place if you want to feel you live in Umbria. I loved it.

Outstanding Experience

We were fortunate enough to stay in beautiful Villa Primaluce for five days with 7 members of our family. What an amazing time that we will all cherish. Barbara and Leonardo were wonderful hosts. A truly excellent experience from the quick replies to the beautiful villa that was clean, comfortable and enhanced with more amenities than could be expected. We were greeted with a warm welcome and beautiful appetizers. Barbara and Leonardo were accommodating and informative. The house is in a great location to visit many lovely sites in Tuscany and Umbria. Don't hesitate to stay at this beautiful place--we would all like to move there for good !!!!!

A Dream Come True

I can't say enough about my family’s experience on vacation at Villa Primaluce. Barbara and Leonardo were perfect and kind hosts. We were greeted with an aperitif of local Italian foods to start our stay. Tucked away on a hillside overlooking Lago Trasimeno the shear views brought the essence of calm needed on a vacation. Situated in central Italy, we were able to adventure to many cites in Umbria and Tuscany to taste the delicious food, see spectacular Duomo’s, Palazzos, and countryside, that were breathtaking. The town of Passignano sul Trasimeno, situated on the lake, was a short ride to shop, eat and stroll the gorgeous lakefront. Villa Primaluce accommodations were more than I expected. The countryside villa was fully restored and met our many needs and my grandchildren also enjoyed the feel of a medieval stone villa. Thank you Barbara and Leonardo for a wonderful family vacation reunion. Cyndy and Family

A lovely place to stay

A beautiful old stone house, great views of the small town and the lake and gracious hosts - who could ask for a better Italian vacation. While the house was builtin the 1700s, it has been updated with modern appliances and fixtures. There was plenty of room for our party of five to be together or spread out. Barbara was a joy to deal with, very helpful providing information about the area. The location is ideal for visiting Perugia, Florence or any of the smaller cities in central Italy. The road up to the house is gravel and very steep and rugged. When we booked the house, Barbara recommended that we rent a 4-wheel drive vehicle. That was good advice. The house does have a lot of uneven stone steps. It was not an issue for our group but could be a problem for young children or someone older.

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.

Fantastic Stay in Umbria

Barbara and Leonardo were the most wonderful hosts. They ensured we had everything we needed before we arrived, helped us to set up an unbelievable dinner at the house with chef Annalisa, and gave us useful recommendations for nearby restaurants and meals. The house itself was perfect. Up a long dirt road, it overlooks Lake Trasimeno which made for a beautiful backdrop for many meals and aperitifs enjoyed on the terrace. The kitchen, and the house in general, was extremely well equipped and other than a few lightbulbs that needed changing, there were zero issues whatsoever. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was extremely useful for the two 100+ degree days. But more than anything else, the pool was the place where we spent the majority of our time - and it could not have been more ideal with ample umbrellas, chairs and shade. There were even a number of floats for relaxing in the pool. We hope that we are lucky enough to return to Villa Primaluce, and could not recommend it enough to any prospective renters.

Exceptional villa in a great location with terrific hosts

We had a wonderful family vacation at Villa Primaluce Trasimeno. It accommodated 3 generation of us and everyone needs were answered. The place is spotless, the rooms are spacious and the beds a very comfortable. Barbara and Leonardo the hosts have thought of every detail their guests might need- from a well-equipped kitchen to paints for my toddler daughter. The view is breathtaking and the villa is scheduled and very private yet the nearest town on the lake is close enough even by foot (if one doesn't mind a bit of walking) and offers an opportunity for a close view to wildlife animals such as deer and rabbits which was great for us "city persons". The location couldn't be better to explore Umbria and Tuscany. We stayed for 5 nights and it was too short. From our first correspondence, Barbara was extremely accommodating, she answered all our requests and offered help and information which made our Dad 80th birthday a great success. Upon our return, I have recommended everyone I know to take a week and travel to this paradise it may even change your view on life. I thank Barbara and Leonardo for creating such a place and allowing us to enjoy its tranquility and beauty .

Outstanding property and such a helpful host!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful and very comfortable property, that had all of the facilities we needed (and more!) given we were traveling with two small children. The pool was so beautiful it was tempting to just spend the whole week there. The host was so helpful, both before and during our stay, always reachable and provided us with great recommendations of things to do/where to go in the area.
