Vintage Travel’s 2011 portfolio heats up with two new truly tremendous new villas

Vintage Travel’s 2011 portfolio has become even more idyllic and grand with two new beautiful properties added to its books. Lou Calvel in the Lot region in the south west of France and Villa Magnolia in the hills above Lake Trasimeno in Tuscany, epitomise our commitment to finding the most stunning of villas in the most picturesque of locations.

Villa Magnolia

Snuggled high on the hillside above the mighty yet magnificent lake, amongst the olive groves, woodlands and wildlife, lies the striking, spacious and sensually renovated Villa Magnolia.

This four bedroom villa provides a unique blend of fresh and contemporary living with a rural and tranquil location in the beautiful Umbrian countryside.

The villa’s high ceilings, original features, arched balconies, offering magnificent views of the valley and beyond, creates a romantic, idyllic and truly stunning place to stay to experience this unique part of the world. All amenities are nearby in the quant and charming villages of Paciano and Panicate, whilst the larger town of Castiglione del Lago is 14 kilometres away, offering a greater choice of shops and restaurants.

Typical of Tuscany local history can nearly always be investigated and guests of Villa Magnolia can vary their daily activities by taking an excursion to the Castello del Leone, a spectacular 13th century fortress, which, at its pinnacle, provides a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view.

From an immensely impressive Italian retreat, to equally as stunning accommodation in the south of France, Vintage Travel is thrilled to have added Lou Calvel to its portfolio.

Lou Calvel

 

In a small break amidst the densely forested landscape, brimming with a diverse mix of wildlife, flowers, orchids and plants, the imposing stone walls of the beautifully renovated Lou Carvel can be seen.

Its huge pool surrounded by vast lawns, gently rippling under the southern French sun, beckons guests to take a dip, whilst the shaded terraces provide refreshing shade from the sun.

Internally, Lou Calvel possesses an equal ‘wow factor’ to its grounds and location. Heavy wooden doors swing open, inviting guests to excitedly muse over the property’s many charms, including an original fireplace, beamed ceilings, an open-tread staircase and a stone basin set into the wall.

The interior justly encapsulates the very essence of the villa’s traditional, rural and tranquil atmosphere and setting.

When guests eventually prize themselves away from Lou Calvel, they will discover the many treats and delights of the local area.

The village of Cazals, with its fine restaurants, bars and shops, is just five kilometres away, whilst the larger town of Cahors, renowned for its fabulous, full-bodied red wines, is 30 kilometres away. The region is a true rapture for cyclists, walkers, wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, eager to explore the limestone gorges, majestic chateaux and infinitive amount of natural delights the area is blessed with.
