Casa Miralago

Miralago is a spacious house with stunning views of Isola Polvese in Lake Trasimeno. We were there the first two weeks of September. A holiday villa for tranquility, where you can enjoy the widely varying panorama of morning mist, clouds, Monte Amiata on the horizon, brilliant sunsets behind the island and mysterious moonlight, leaving headlands canoes with huge fishermen seem from the balcony or the large terrace hours . The villa has a steep access road and it takes some driving skills to complete the gate at once, but the reward is fabulous. The house is fully equipped, good mosquito nets against mosquitoes and other insects, and a relatively small kitchen where life is good for a handy amateur. If you wind up in the morning makes good blow through the house during the day and keep the blinds closed, the temperature is in the evening and at night in the house very pleasant. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds of good quality. Miralago is not just a retreat, but also a great base for touring eastern Tuscany and the western part of Umbria in a radius of 60 to 70 kilometers. Much more needs and do not drive you. The surface of many roads is good not great. Many necessary speed restrictions. The villages and towns around Lake Trasimeno must be not beaten. There are many wonderful things to come zien.In walkers not pull their close proximity. There are no good hiking maps available. Many small paths end at gates. However, there is good documentation described circular walks. A ride to the starting point or nodig.Al with all the home is highly recommended. The owner speaks not only Italian, but can deliver excellent English. There are in the immediate vicinity plenty of simple eateries. Highly recommended is Ristorante Montalcino, at the entrance of San Feliciano turn right up the hill

The arrival was fantastic. Although we had received only the street name and name of the house (without number), the landlord had still some signs with arrows affixed to the home. swallow hard was it to last very steep slopes, but the reception was more glorious. We were welcomed with open arms and the refrigerator was in our water, juice, wine, beer and nibbles ready! Surprisingly, and super delicious! The cabin itself offered more than we expected a lot of space, cooling, a Mediterranean garden with olive trees, grape vines, wild cactus and much, much more. Despite the extremely high temperatures (24-37 degrees!) We could always find shade on all sides of the house. The magnificent terrace overlooking the lake, was our regular place for almost two weeks. Italy and the coffee is always something special. So we did not just coffee in the kitchen, but a small and a larger espresso cooker. We learn to use and said they have so tasty "espresso" with. We missed just a pressure cooker for water, but have always solved by boiling on the stove water. We visited many cities, including Citta della Peve, Tuoro, Orvieto, Assisi, Siena, Panicale
