Casanova di Mesola

Holiday home Casanova di Mesola

Where Umbria meets Tuscany and Le Marche, Casanova di Mesola is situated in a secluded location on a hilltop with panoramic views – a hideaway that combines nature, design and comfort. Gubbio, one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Italy, can be reached in 25 minutes, Perugia in 40 minutes and Assisi in 50 minutes.

Dating back to the 18th century, the Umbrian country house was extensively renovated in 2010 and refurbished in 2022. Old wooden beamed ceilings made of chestnut wood and natural stone walls meet a modern concrete floor and clear, white surfaces, traditional wooden furniture contrasts with design classics.

The house is set on two levels on the hillside: on the lower level, a large kitchen with a cooking island, a dining room and a living room with an open fireplace and gallery corridor merge seamlessly into one another. There is also a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a marble bathtub on this level. Large patio doors provide access to the garden from all rooms and let the sunshine in.

On the upper floor there is a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a further bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a studio and yoga room with 6 metre high ceilings and a large terrace that opens onto a forecourt with plane trees.

The property is surrounded by 13 hectares of land. The garden extends over various levels with a panoramic terrace, various seating areas under trees and a covered pergola with a pizza oven. The 15 metre long infinity pool offers sweeping views over the Umbrian hills.

What to do

Hiking, cycling, biking, swimming in the hotel's own pool, yoga, golf (30 min.), cooking and baking pizzas in the hotel's own wood-fired oven, visiting the surrounding vineyards, truffle hunting, excursions to Gubbio, Perugia, Assisi, Arezzo or Siena, to Lake Trasimeno and the romantic mountain villages of the region, immersion in unspoilt nature as a ‘private retreat’.

Why we like this house

A traditional country estate with modern accents.
The harmonious interior design: elegant and rustic, almost puristic.
An infinity pool with beautiful views.

This house is great for

Families, couples, holidays with friends, foodies, wine connoisseurs, yogis, nature lovers, bikers, hikers. The house is not suitable for small children under the age of six. No pets allowed.

    We had a wonderful week in Umbria in Simon and Ans' beautiful house and garden! It was the perfect place to relax and retank – A very big thank you to our hosts.

    Wir verbrachten als 7 köpfige Familie einen wunderschönen und sehr ruhigen und entspannten Urlaub im Casanova di Mesola. Es fehlt an nichts in diesem unvergleichlich schönen Ambiente. Das Haus wurde mit viel Bedacht umgebaut und wunderschön eingerichtet. Wer sich für seinen Urlaub im Casanova entscheidet wird mit himmlischer Ruhe, grandioser Aussicht in die Umbrischen Berge und nicht nur mit dem tollen Pool belohnt. Das Backen der eigenen Pizza im dafür vorgesehen Holzofen ist ein Muss und steigert das Urlaubsgefühl noch weiter. Ob im Haus oder im weitläufigen Garten, es lassen sich immer wieder neue Perspektiven und Ausblicke finden. Trotz aller Abgeschiedenheit bietet diese Urlaubslokation für den naturverbundenen Urlauber alles was man sich wünscht. Ein großes Dankeschön an Ans & Simon, dass sie dieses tolle Haus an uns vermietet haben.

    Den Besitzern Simon und Ans ist es gelungen, ein altes, umbrisches Landhaus sehr behutsam und mit hochwertigsten Materialien wieder zum Leben zu erwecken und ein extrem komfortables und ästhetisches Feriendomizil zu schaffen. Jede Ecke des Hauses ist perfekt durchdacht und bietet mit seiner grosszügigen Raumaufteilung sowohl kommunikative “Inseln” als auch genug Rückzugsmöglichkeiten für stille Entspannung. Wer genauer hinsieht, erkennt Materialien und Einrichtungsdetails aus Indien, die sich spielerisch und absolut harmonisch in das Gesamtbild integrieren.
    Der Garten wie auch das gesamte, sehr weitläufige Grundstück von Casanova di Mesola, das relativ isoliert liegt, ist komplett aber fast unmerklich umzäunt, wodurch es einen sicheren Spielbereicht für Kinder garantiert. Überhaupt ist das gesamte Haus mit besonderem Augenmerk auf Familien geplant worden. Der Blick in die Landschaft von der Terrasse oder vom Sonnendeck aus ist einfach wundervoll und der wohltemperierte Infinity-Pool macht das Urlaubsgefühl perfekt!
