Casa del Dottore

Description

Located on an upland on the northern bank of Lake Trasimeno with a view of the Apennines, near the small town of Passignano sul Trasimeno, the property is set in an uncontaminated natural landscape.

This new project is the union of two harmonically connected blocks, which become a single entity.

The peculiarity of this building are the external walls, partly plastered and painted in earthy shades and partly covered with stones recalling the past and the traditions of old Umbrian farmsteads.

The construction is embellished by a beautiful terrace enriched by a wooden pergola with an exclusive view of Lake Trasimeno. The use and processing of recycled materials such as bricks, stones, tiles, and wooden beams recreate the history of the preexisting farmhouse. 

The basement consists of a garage, a cellar, and a laundry room. Through an internal staircase one can access the ground floor where there are a large living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a utility room. The first floor consists of three bedrooms with bathroom. In the annex there is a living area and an en suite bedroom.

The garden has been developed around the existent bushes and further refined with the introduction of other local plants; it enriches the outdoors and contributes to the beauty of the property. All this is accompanied by a beautiful infinity pool comprising of two pools, one higher and one lower, connected by a waterfall.

Historical notes about Passignano

Passignano is a small village that lies on the placid shores of Lake Trasimeno, reflecting in its gentle waters. The ancient heart of Passignano is surrounded by medieval walls with three gateways and many towers, with Torre di Ponente still dominating the town. These buildings are testimony of the transformation of Passignano from a small rural village during the Roman Empire to a castle and fortress during the Middle Ages. 
The residential area developed between the 1500s and the 1600s. Passignano’s history spans two thousand years before it became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in 1643; it then shared the fate of that region until it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy in 1860.
Passignano is an ideal destination for tourists who want to discover the history, traditions, and excellent food prepared with typical local products as well as enjoy events that bring back a glimpse of the lakeside town’s past.

What to visit in Passignano sul Trasimeno

Entering the historical centre one can visit the Church of San Rocco which dates back to the 1500s. Higher up one can find the Church of San Bernardino while the Rocca of Langobardic origin stands at the top of the town. Here one can visit the Boat Museum where typical Italian vessels for inland waters are displayed. Other interesting sights are the Church of San Cristoforo - which dates back to the 9th century - and the Church of Madonna dell’Oliveto, built in the 16th century.

The islands and the lake

Passignano’s dock is the departure point of many ferries connecting the shore to the natural islands of Polvese and Maggiore.
Along the lake there are bar, resaturants, equipped lidos, beaches and water sports centres.
