Property Information |
|
Passo d’Elefante is one of a kind. From the first floor and the pool, the
views are of rolling hills dotted with tiny hamlets. From the terrace and
the top floor, one sees medieval Corciano. At ground level are seven acres
of gardens and woods. By the door, a small replica of Perugia’s signature
fountain gurgles in anticipation of your acquaintance.
Next to the large pool is an outdoor kitchen with a wood oven, a
barbecue and a pool house with a bathroom, changing rooms and wet
bar. By the bocce court is a lighted and fenced tennis court as well as a
clubhouse with two showers and a bar area.
The interiors are air conditioned and elegantly furnished with antiques.
The elevator, like so many things inexplicably Italian, takes seven steps to
reach. The late parents of the owner were passionate collectors. Over
3500 representations of elephants from all over the world adorn the
estate. Had Hannibal invaded Italy with half this many, Carthage would
have surely vanquished Rome. So expect to see a few during your stay.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream. The lower level has a fireplace, billiards,
roulette, a collection of slots (not playable), a bar and many seating
arrangements. The second floor has an exercise room and a sauna. Maid
service and a mid week towel change are included. The live-in caretaker
can arrange for laundry or cook service, if requested when booking.
Being five minutes from the highway makes this an ideal base for seeing
Tuscany and Umbria. In 10 minutes are supermarkets and restaurants.
Corciano is also 10 minutes away; Lake Trasimeno or Perugia: 15;
Cortona: 35; Assisi or Deruta: 40; Todi or Spello: 60; Siena or Florence:
85; Orvieto: 90; Rome: 120.
