Villa Fonte Pergolla

The historic Casale Pergolla, with its 200 years of history, is nestled in the pure, unspoiled nature of Monte Peglia, an UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in the heart of Italy. The area, an ancient, now-extinct volcano, is rich in precious natural resources that make this location truly unique.
Completely surrounded by the lush greenery of the Umbrian woods, this residence is a unique place that successfully combines respect for history, art, and nature with the comfort of spaces designed to welcome and rejuvenate.
The space
Attention to detail, style, and comfort characterize the entire residence and make it perfect for any need. Ideal for those seeking the silence and tranquility of the woods, as well as for group getaways (families, friends, or sports enthusiasts) thanks to the lively and fun heated pool with its large, multicolored waterfall.

The recently completed renovation was carried out with a focus on sustainability, respect for the environment, and the local art, history, and culture. As a result, Casale Pergolla now boasts a high degree of self-sufficiency achieved through the skillful use of natural resources: energy needs are met through the use of solar panels, and water needs through heat pump systems and a source of pure water that flows directly from the mountains to the farmhouse, feeding a beautiful 18th-century fountain. The materials used (all natural) have been carefully selected to blend perfectly with the historic character of the building’s original stonework.

The farmhouse is arranged over two floors connected by an outdoor staircase and features three fully equipped kitchens—one of which includes a table that seats 14 people—two living rooms, a reading area, and three smart TVs with web-based entertainment platforms. In the large, fully air-conditioned living room on the first floor, there is a professional pool table that, with special Plexiglas panels, transforms into an additional large dining table capable of seating another 16 people. Two fireplaces—one antique and the other a designer piece—add character and warmth to the evenings, creating unforgettable atmospheres. The six spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, are tastefully furnished and each equipped with air conditioning and USB ports for charging cell phones. The ground-floor living area also features an elegant bathroom and a study with a sleeper sofa and desk, offering additional opportunities for relaxation and reading, as well as a comfortable and private space for remote work. The residence also features a hammam for two people and a pool house with a view of the woods, a sofa bed, and an additional bathroom.

The garden, spanning over one hectare, features a spacious dining area and relaxation zones where you’ll find seating areas shaded by charming gazebos, a foosball table, a ping-pong table, relaxing hammocks, and the irresistible swimming pool. Open from April through October, the farmhouse’s pool—which can be heated upon request for an additional fee—is equipped with a special removable transparent cover and is the ideal size for those who want to swim regularly. The entire farmhouse, including the pool area, has high-speed Wi-Fi.

The view from the garden is spectacular: it offers a breathtaking panorama of Mount Amiata in Tuscany and the unspoiled vegetation of the nature reserve. A privileged spot to feast your eyes on the colors of the earth and sky. In fact, there are no man-made structures in the surrounding area, and your gaze drifts into boundless greenery, allowing for a complete fusion with nature.

The park, which is fully fenced and secure, features a convenient shaded parking area and a historic wood-fired oven. Guests are welcome to rediscover the flavors of the past by baking bread, making pizza, or grilling meat.
