Villa di Monte Solare
An Umbrian haven on a lush hillside near Lake Trasimeno
On a remote hillside above Lake Trasimeno, Villa di Monte Solare nestles in gorgeous grounds punctuated by cypress trees and fountains a few miles from Perugia. An enchanting villa, that for centuries was home to an aristocratic family, it is now a delightful boutique hotel with an excellent restaurant, two swimming pools, a tennis court and a pampering spa.
Rooms and suites at Villa di Monte Solare are distributed between the villa, complete with marble fireplaces, terracotta floors and antique furniture, or in one of the 350-year-old farmhouses on the estate, also beautifully furnished but with a more rustic feel. Wander around the walled Italian garden and discover the chapel. Then, head to the pool and take in the sweeping views of the Muserale Valley and the Mongiovino hills.
Take a cooking class with the chef to learn authentic Italian cuisine and then try to match a wine to your dish with a wine tasting session. In between swimming, relaxing, spa treatments and tennis find some time to visit some of the nearby villages for a feel of Umbrian life. End your day with delicious Italian cuisine in Villa di Monte Solare’s restaurant.

Spa
Inspired by the myth of the nearby Muserale valley, where Apollo relished the arts of the nine goddesses, “Le Muse" Spa & Beauty Farm has been designed for guests who appreciate privacy and personal attention and offers a varriety of massages, aesthetic treatments, and exclusive relaxation courses for individuals or couples.
It is situated in the Villa’s historic Italian garden inside the limonaia (lemon house) with large arched windows and high ceilings once meant to host citrus fruit well throughout the winter and was built in 1750. The exquisite surroundings are matched by the details of the interiors: the large wooden beams and the terracotta floors, the mosaic decorations in Assisi stones, Mirò prints and Montefalco fabrics on the walls and the panoramic view of the Umbrian hills with tracts of vineyards and olive groves through the windows.
Each area of “Le Muse” from the massage rooms to the “tepidarium”, from the sauna to the Turkish bath, from the beauty rooms to the hydrotherapy area, has been designed to benefit the mind and the body.
The exclusive pleasures of a health centre modelled on the “one on one” philosophy, with the full attention of the therapist or beautician, can be enjoyed in perfect harmony with yourself or with your partner.
"Le Muse” is a recognised “Carita Paris" beauty centre featuring cures and beauty treatments exclusively by Carita Paris. The treatment menu is complemented by traditional and oriental massages and treatments. All products are made exclusively of natural elements: to help to naturally restore the body’s beauty and health.
