    Accommodates 4 or 6 - 2 or 3 Bedrooms, 2 or 3 Baths - Swimming Pool

    Beautiful Casa Baschi is ideally located to explore Umbria, southern Tuscany, and northern Lazio, and it enjoys particularly easy access to Rome. The villa is not only elegantly furnished in a country-house way, but most important, it is genuinely comfortable and immaculately maintained, serving as the owners' home part of the year. We love this house. It is the kind of place Americans expect to find when they rent, and often don't.

    Casa Baschi's owners have recently created, on the lower ground floor of the villa, a beautiful suite, accessible only from outside, consisting of living/dining, kitchenette, bedroom alcove (with unifiable twins) and bath with big shower stall. This little unit is only rented to the same group occupying the upper part of the house. Thus, you can rent Casa Baschi either as the main level only, or with the downstairs annex.

    The house is all on one floor: You walk into a foyer. To the immediate right is the kitchen, fully equipped with all necessities, including dishwasher. Straight ahead is a very spacious living/dining room combo with beamed ceilings in the Umbrian style, fireplace, and TV. The two bedrooms are of approximately equal size, making the house perfect for two couples; one bedroom has a matrimonial, the other two unifiable twin beds. Beds are excellent. Each bedroom has an en-suite bath, one with a roomy shower stall, the other with shower over tub. Laundry and tons of storage are in the basement, accessed from outside. The price includes housekeeping twice during each week; additional hours are available at extra cost.

    The manicured grounds include a recently constructed swimming pool. This house is a true rarity: a free-standing villa with its own pool but which doesn't have 4 or 5 or 6 bedrooms. In fact, we know of nothing similar of this quality anywhere in Italy. The house isn't cheap, but it really is first-class.

    PLEASE NOTE: The owners are often in residence when the house is not rented, and they have a cat. The housekeeper takes care of the cat when the owners aren't around, but the cat does roam the grounds. If you're allergic to cats and/or aren't cat lovers, Casa Baschi is not the house for you.
