Many years ago, Dottor Claudio Barbi created what is now one of Umbria's foremost wineries in the softly rolling hills above lake Corbara, near Orvieto - but it wasn't enough! He recently called in his son Enzo, and together they've created a superb holiday villa, in the heart of their beautiful estate. Villa Decugnano offers a stunning new idea in holiday rentals. Take the main option of the villa and you've got a wonderful, self catering villa with all the privacy and comfort you could wish for. Or, for a little extra, the villa can be fully staffed and turned into your very own, personal Boutique hotel with first class service. The choice is yours - simply the delicious privacy of a luxurious, villa rental or tell us you want five star hotel service and we'll arrange it! Thus Villa Decugnano is born, and Summer's Leases is delighted to offer you this new idea for the ultimate in spoiling holiday experiences.

Put yourself in safe hands and relax into the holiday of a lifetime!

You get all the fun and freedom of a self-catering villa with all the comfort and ease a luxury hotel would provide. From the minute you land in Italy to the second you leave, this is a lifestyle experience that Signor Enzo intends to ensure you'll look back on with delight. Enzo is the project director for Villa Decugnano and will be delighted to arrange for the helicopter to pick you up at the airport or he’ll happily send a car and chauffeur. If you decide you’d rather come in your own car, or pick up a hire car, that’s fine too - whatever would please you best.

When you arrive, you’ll be shown the house and the pool, settled comfortably in, drinks will be poured for you and dinner will be served by candlelight when you are ready to eat. Enzo and his Team will ensure this holiday starts as it intends to go on - in delicious, spoiling indulgence! Your cook will be on hand with menu suggestions each day. She’ll take your orders for breakfast, a light lunch and dinner, or she’ll hand everything over to you if you have an urge to do the cooking in your shining, professional kitchen. This holiday is all about doing it your way! If you want a massage or a facial, or would like to gallop across the hills, it will be arranged for you. If you want to lounge by the pool in perfect tranquility, Enzo and his team will ensure that’s exactly what happens. Villa Decugnano can be a simple, straightforward self-catering villa (with a few enviable extras!) or turn to The Team for the best professional cosseting you've ever experienced. The Team are there if you need them, and discreetly invisible if you don't.

As you can see from our photos, it’s a lovely villa, set high in the hills above Lake Corbara. You are a 15 minute drive from Orvieto, with its ornate cathedral, and 50 minutes drive from ancient Perugia, Umbria’s capital city. The estate covers 140 beautiful acres, at an altitude of 320 metres above sea level. It’s an oasis for wildlife and wild flowers: porcupines and hares are common sights. The special microclimate means the house is never too hot and never too cold - though naturally there’s a huge open fireplace, central heating and air conditioning just in case! The location is ideal for grapes: in fact, they've been grown on these chalky hills for well over two thousand years. The Decugnano dei Barbi estate produces a range of world class wines for you to try. Signor Claudio’s honeyed velvet Pourriture Noble is ideal with a sliver almond cake for a happy meditation on the stunning flavours of Umbria as the sun sets on yet another perfect day at Villa Decugnano.

The Team is ready and waiting to ensure you luxuriate in the holiday experience of a lifetime. For a memorable birthday treat, a special anniversary celebration or even a private wedding, you'll be delighted with Villa Decugnano!
