We had a lovely time at the villa. The view of the lake, especially at sunset was beautiful. The remote location, although just a few miles from town, lends to a peaceful and serene, even cozy atmosphere. The house is gorgeous, many nooks and crannies to sit and relax. The pool was unfortunately closed before our arrival, but the pool area has plenty of sun and lounge chairs, also with a view of the lake. Passignano Sul Tresimeno was a great place to walk around and we enjoyed sitting by the lake for lunch or an aperol spritz.

Outstanding property and such a helpful host!
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful and very comfortable property, that had all of the facilities we needed (and more!) given we were traveling with two small children. The pool was so beautiful it was tempting to just spend the whole week there. The host was so helpful, both before and during our stay, always reachable and provided us with great recommendations of things to do/where to go in the area.

We had a wonderful Christmas time in the tranquil Italian Countryside. Coming from the buzzing city, this place was exactly what we were looking for. Calm, cozy and big enough to host the family for a short week away.The house offers enough space for up to 8 adults, which each couple having their own bathroom. Everything is exceptionally clean and the house is WELL equipped for cooking, and surviving in general.The owner keeps you in close coordination over the days to ensure your satisfaction.

Great property and host, convenient base for Tuscany/Umbria
Lovely property with ancient stone walls but all modern conveniences. Great outdoor spaces as well and great pool. Beautiful views over Lake Trasimeno. Outstanding communication from Barbara, the host, who also had great suggestions about the region. She arranged two dinners for us at the villa which were excellent. Curated local wine at villa was great, esp the Stucchio. Convenient base to explore many of the small towns of Tuscany and Umbria -we highly recommend Pienza and Gubbio especially, and the castle at Castiglione del Lago is also great (eat at L'Aquario). Highly recommend the propery and the host!

Perfect family holiday
We had a fantastic time at Barbara's villa. It's well set up and nice and cool for the July heat (good AC in bedrooms) and fans/sufficient cool walls downstairs. The views were beautiful from the house, we loved having breakfast outside and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoons in the huge pool. The kids loved the table tennis table and trampoline and we all enjoyed a good BBQ. Barbara could not have been more helpful and responsive with our queries. The road up to the house is quite steep and bumpy so be prepared for that but it didn't put us off exploring each day. We'd love to come back some time. Thank you Barbara!

Beautiful and Peaceful Countryside
If you’re looking for a quiet and private vacation, this is for you. The views are picturesque and the house is unique and lovely. We enjoyed a family vacation with four adults and two young teens. The little town is quaint and charming with nice restaurants and access to boating on the lake. The house is a bit off the beaten path offering some pros and cons. Once off the main road, it is a bit of a drive up a winding, narrow dirt road but the property is lovely. The host, Barbara, was very communicative and easy to reach. Instructions to the house seem complicated, but they are very specific, which made it easy.

Perfect Villa
Our stay at Villa Prima Luce Trasimeno has been magical. Barbara has been the most attentive host, and she treated us like family. The villa is clean and well stocked. Everything is in working order, the beds & linens are lovely. Follow her directions exactly and you will not get lost when arriving. The grounds, and gardens and view are breath taking.
Barbara was so attentive through out or stay. She had fantastic suggestions for restaurants. She helped us arrange for a cooking class one night and for dinner another night. Chef Annalisa and her staff were a highlight for us. The meals were Michelin quality. For the cooking class, Monica came along to translate. We all fell in love!
The villa is a perfect location to see the Italian countryside or to visit Florence or Perugia or Cortona for the day. The town nearby, Passignano sul Trasimeno, is quaint and quiet. Simply perfect.
Barbara also recommended Osteria del Carro for pizza one evening. It was wonderful!! We also loved sitting around the large fireplace in the evening. Everything you need is there!!
We did discover a nearby winery that was the best winery experience we have ever had. Viandante del Cielo.
Barbara sends videos as the dates of your stay are approaching. They are a perfect way to become acquainted with the villa and how everything works. They are very informative and worth referring back to as needed.

Villa Primaluce stay
The communication with the owners was by far the best we had so far. The view was spectacular. We wished the air conditioning in two of the bedrooms was better but it was not bad. The cottage was exceptional. The cleanliness was excellent and the condition of all but a few of the outlets were great. The drive up was extremely difficult. If I could change one thing, it would be to pave or at a minimum maintain the gravel road up to the Villa. Also don't forget to bring mosquito repellant.
Overall our family had a great experience, the best we have had as a family vacation.
