About this property

Splendid private villa for 12 people with swimming pool and olive trees

Colle in Ceralto or Casale di Ludovico is family-run, family-owned, and family-loved. The Bennicellis have lived in Umbria for over 200 years and are delighted to be able to share the beauty of the region whose land they have cultivated, and cherished, for generations. Guests are invited to enter into a more intimate relationship with nature in a relaxing oasis far from the stresses of city life.
Our villa is just outside of a small medieval town from which it draws its name. Located at the foot of a hill, it is surrounded by lush, untouched countryside where thick forests of oaks and groves of olive trees thrive as they have for centuries.
Recently renovated, Casale di Ludovico exudes an abundant Umbrian warmth, with its stone walls, beamed ceilings, and locally handcrafted furniture. The expansiveness of the house easily accommodates a large extended family or group of friends.
The ground floor consists of a large living room with a working fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms one with queen-sized bed and the other with a pair of twin beds, and two baths. The living room opens onto a large patio generously arrayed with tables and chairs.
Upstairs on the first floor there is another living room with a fireplace, four bedrooms (two with queen-sized beds, the others each with a pair of twin beds), and three baths.
Casa di Ludovico stands in its own large garden. It has its own private swimming pool, as well as a barbecue and wood-fired stove ideal for making pizza and bread.

Bicycles are available upon request; please note at the time of your booking.

A true taste of Umbria
Our villa was a traditional building but with more modern facilities which was a perfect mix. Set high in the hills with a magnificent view it was a wonderful location once you got used to driving up there!! Quiet grounds, a good sized outside eating area and a lovely pool made it an ideal holiday venue for our extended family. We all loved it.

Umbria: ulivi, medioevo e tanto altro...
La villa è molto comoda, spaziosa e arredata con gusto. Vi abbiamo soggiornato in 10 persone per una settimana. Le 6 camere da letto e i bagni sono sistemati in modo da consentire privacy a chi vi soggiorna. Ottima anche la pulizia. La cucina è completa di tutto ciò che può servire. La piscina è ad uso esclusivo ed essendo in aperta campagna, si è liberi di divertirsi senza doversi preoccupare di disturbare i vicini. L'accoglienza da parte della proprietà è stata molto cortese e disponibile.

Parfait en tout domaine!
Depuis le premier contact avec le propriétaire jusqu'au dernier, tout a fonctionné parfaitement! Cette maison offre confort, propreté et situation. Aucun détail n'est négligé. La piscine est très bien entretenue par un personnel très discret. Cette villa est parfaite pour trois couples avec enfants et chacun a son intimité. C'est notre plus belle location! Merci d'avoir permis à nos vacances d'être totalement réussie!

Séjour parfait !
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans votre maison; elle est magnifique, très bien agencée pour que chacun ait son espace, et les enfants pouvaient s'amuser dans la piscine sans limite. Nous avons énormément apprécié que les gens qui s'occupent de la maison viennet très discrètement entretenir la piscine et les fleurs , ils étaient très gentils et nous ont même livré des petits pains pour le déjeuner ! Nous avons pris le temps de visiter de super endroits: Assise, Todi, Isola Maggiore, Cascate delle Marmore, et nous sommes également restés à la maison pour profiter de la piscine et la splendide vue sur les collines. Et bien sûr, nous avons été ravis à Montefalco lorsque l'équipe française a remporté la coupe du monde: o) Nous nous sommes régalés des délicieuces pizzas et pâtes à Il Fiaschetto (et ses belles tables, nous y sommes allés deux fois), à Pane e Vino à Todi (excellents plats et vins), à l'Albergo Ristorante da Sauro à Isola Maggiore (grandes pâtes et poissons) Une très belle adresse !

Great location, great stone villa, brilliant pool.
Colle in Ceralto is a classical Italian country villa set in remote but wonderfully positioned countryside, an enjoyable half hour drive to many beautiful Medieval towns in the surrounding area; Montefalco, Assisi and Todi to name a few. The house itself is well equipped with two modern kitchens, dishwasher, microwave, modern oven and good selection of (ikea and local deruta pottery) cutlery and crockery, five (!!) bathrooms (with showers only), very comfortable beds (three twin rooms and three double rooms) and amazing views from every window. Log fire places complement each of the two living areas. All windows have fly screens and shutters. The WI-fi internet was excellent when working but interupted during bad weather. There is a large thick wooden table under the covered terrace outside where we ate all but two of our meals during our month long stay. The brick pizza oven was another highlight. The infinity pool , with views over the adjacent valley was meticulously clean. The surrounding gate was not child proof but acted as a decent deterrent for our four, six and eight year old children. It was also of adequate distance from the house, while still being in plain sight of the terrace. Relaxing on one of the many pool side chairs, while the kids perfected cannon ball dives, was a moment in time I shall store in a special place. In general, the house is better than it looks in the photos. When you spend hours (as I did) trying to remotely choose a location for a long awaited holiday it is difficult to get it right. This house was right. And the thing that made it really special was the owner, his extended family and crew. They were not intrusive, but provided not only a warm welcome, but family olive oil, cheese and bread for our arrival after a long haul flight. The pool and gardens were tidied every other day, the sheets changed weekly, cleaning serviced offered (extra cost) and helpful advice given whenever needed. They even delivered extra wood when an unexpected pizza night demanded it. I would thoroughly recommend Colle in Ceralto. If we ever have the fortune of visting this area again, Alessandro and his family will be the first place I look for a great villa.

About the host

Hosted by Alessandro Lanza

Host profile image
I am 39 years-old; my wife Alice and I are the happy parents of three girls. I love travel, sports, and spending time with family and friends. I born in Genoa and working in a shipping industry, my heart and true interest is on this activity which make me proud to own such a beautiful place.

Why they chose this property

This is a place to dream up big ideas…or think about nothing at all. You can take long walks and listen to birds. You can enjoy the shade of the pergola in summer, the warmth of the fireplace in winter. At Colle in Ceralto you are also ideally situated to explore the marvels of Umbria—Montefalco, Bevagna, Todi, and Monte Castello Vibio are nearby, while slightly farther afield there are such classic Umbrian destinations as Assisi, Perugia, Spello, Gubbio, and Spoleto.

What makes this property unique

The buildings, their history, and their location at the top of a gentle hill are simply magical!
