Holiday homes in Umbria, Italy
Personally selected villas with pools
Are you looking for a holiday home in Umbria and want more than just a beautiful place to stay? At Villa in Umbria, you’ll find carefully selected holiday homes, private villas with pools and authentic agriturismi, chosen by someone who knows the region and the properties personally.
I’m Saskia, and I have lived in Umbria for more than 25 years. I know the region, the properties I offer and the owners or managers who welcome guests. So I can give you honest, personal advice and help you find a holiday home that really suits your plans, whether you’re travelling as a couple, with family or with friends.
Holiday homes in Umbria that I personally know
The properties at Villa in Umbria are not anonymous holiday rentals from a large catalogue. I personally know the houses and the people who look after them, and I have direct contact with the owner or the manager.
This means I can often answer the practical questions you may not find on a booking page: How steep is the final road to the house? Is there a bakery nearby? Do you need a car for every outing? Is the garden really private? Is the property suitable for a toddler? Would it work for someone with limited mobility?
And sometimes honest advice means telling you that a beautiful villa is not the right choice for your holiday because of its location, access or layout.
My aim is simple: to help you find a holiday home in Umbria that looks beautiful in the photographs and works well for the way you want to spend your holiday.
Why book your holiday home in Umbria with Villa in Umbria?
Choosing the right holiday home is about more than finding a beautiful house. The location, accessibility, surroundings and layout can make just as much difference to your holiday.
With Villa in Umbria, you can browse the properties yourself or ask me for personal advice before booking. Tell me your travel dates, number of guests and the features that are essential for you, and I can help you focus on the properties that genuinely match your requirements.
You can also explore my Umbria travel blog for ideas, places to visit, restaurants, activities and inspiration for your stay.
I’m happy to help you find the right holiday home and not simply the first one that looks good in a photograph. Your holiday in Umbria starts with finding the right place to stay.
Browse the blog for inspiration, discover the most beautiful places in Umbria, or contact me for personalised advice. Your unforgettable Italian holiday starts here!
See you in Umbria,
Saskia

Where is the best place to stay in Umbria?
The best location depends on the kind of holiday you’re looking for.
Around Lake Trasimeno, you’ll find rolling hills, small towns, restaurants and easy access to both Umbria and southern Tuscany. It is a great base for families, relaxing holidays and exploring the surrounding area.
Around Todi, Orvieto and Montefalco, the landscape is characterised by vineyards, hilltop villages, panoramic views and beautiful country houses. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking for peace, scenery and authentic rural Umbria.
Assisi, Perugia and Spoleto combine history, culture, restaurants and nature, while the quieter northern and eastern parts of Umbria offer more space, privacy and a feeling of being away from it all.
I don’t just look at where a property is on the map. I also consider driving times, access roads and what you’ll find nearby, so you can choose a location that works for your holiday.
A villa with a private pool in Umbria: what are you looking for?
A private villa with a swimming pool gives you freedom, privacy and space, but no two villas are quite the same.
Some are completely secluded, while others are within easy reach of a village or restaurant. The level of privacy, the position of the pool, the access to the property and the layout of the house can all make a big difference to your holiday.
That’s why I look beyond the number of bedrooms and the photographs.
Are you travelling with young children and looking for a fenced pool? Do you need a single-storey house? Is air conditioning in every bedroom important? Are several families travelling together and looking for enough privacy for everyone? Perhaps you want to be within walking distance of a village, or prefer a completely peaceful location in the countryside.
Tell me what matters to you, and I can help you narrow down the properties that really fit your needs.
