THE BREATH OF THE LAKE - Where every stone tells and silence heals.

In the heart of the most authentic Umbria, amid rolling hills and serene skies, stands Il Respiro del Borgo, a vacation home where time seems to slow down and every detail tells a story. Located in the historic medieval village of Civitella del Lago, overlooking Lake Corbara, this residence is situated right in the center, embraced by the village walls and a magical atmosphere. The apartment was built around the 14th century and still retains the spirit of its origins today.

It is a top-floor apartment of approximately 80 square meters, spread over three levels:
- On the first floor, a stone cellar that will be accessible to guests in the future.
- On the first floor, a living room with a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a fully equipped kitchenette serves as the heart of the home, ideal for candlelit dinners or leisurely breakfasts with a view of the village.
- On the second floor, a master bedroom, a recently renovated bathroom with a shower, and a relaxation corner—perfect for reading, writing, or working in complete tranquility—round out the experience.

Inside, every piece of furniture has a soul: handcrafted by a local artisan and artist, the one-of-a-kind pieces that furnish the home are made from recycled fine wood, respecting nature and the memory of time. Some furnishings date back to the early 20th century and blend harmoniously with new appliances that feature a vintage style: a kettle, a juicer, an American-style coffee maker, a toaster oven, a microwave, and a coffee pot.

You’ll find Wi-Fi, TVs in the living area and bedroom (including Netflix, Prime, and Disney+), the warmth of the fireplace, and all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay. For your four-legged friends, bowls are already set out, and upon request we can also provide dry dog food (for an additional fee).
Air conditioning is available to help you beat the heat on hot summer days

Civitella del Lago is a little-known gem with extraordinary charm. It’s part of the “Borghi Silenti” hiking route and the “Coast to Coast” trail—two paths immersed in nature and silence, ideal for reconnecting with yourself. The village offers breathtaking views, narrow cobblestone streets, and a pace of life that is truly rejuvenating.
Just a few kilometers away, artistic and historical wonders await you:
• Orvieto, with its cathedral and underground mysteries
• Todi, charming and noble, nestled on its hill
• Civita di Bagnoregio, the town suspended in time, accessible only on foot, just like in a fairy tale

Il Respiro del Borgo is not just a home: it is a refuge for the soul, an invitation to rediscover the beauty of simple things.
Where every stone tells a story and silence heals.
