There are stones in the walls of Visentium which are thought to have been cut over 3000 years ago, predating even Hannibal's great victory over the Roman armies very near this site. Nowadays, however, the area is a picture of pastoral calm and the old stones form part of an elegant yet very comfortable country home with a round medieval tower at its core. From its hillside setting, Visentium gazes serenely over lush green lawns, the blue waters of Lake Trasimeno and rolling hills reaching to the horizon. Within, fine antiques and paintings adorn two living rooms, both leading out under an arched loggia overlooking the swimming pool - an ideal spot for outdoor meals, afternoon siestas and reading in the shade, or for watching children at play in the water. Within dining distance of Perugia, Visentium is also perfectly located for exploring hill towns large and small in both Tuscany and Umbria.
