As well as a family bathroom with bathtub and separate shower cubicle, the master bedroom in Rancale also has its own en-suite shower room with loo and wash-hand basin.
Down the stairs, beyond the stair gate, there's a large private terrace shaded by a pergola with dining table and comfy sun loungers. Leading from the terrace there is a garden with children’s play area.
The ten by five metre swimming pool is situated on a sunny terrace close to the house. The fully fenced and gated area offers quiet and seclusion to relax and unwind. The swimming pool allows easy access to the shallow end via Roman steps. The pool ranges in depth from 1.2m to 2.4m and provides a shallow ledge all the way around its perimeter to help even the least confident of swimmers. The pool is open between May and September. During the early and late season, the swimming pool is covered at night with a summer thermal cover to help keep the overnight temperature loss to a minimum.
At the end of the pool area, there is shaded seating with pergola and wicker seating set, next to this is the children's wendy house and paddling pool as well as table football covered by another pergola.

Leave ReviewGreat family friendly place
By Paulina on 09-Sep-2023Santa Chiara is a beautiful place with astonishing views and atmosphere. We were travelling with small kid and still were able to find a lot of relax in Santa Chiara space. There are many things to do with a small baby (20 months old) - three different playgrounds and a lot of toys in the apartament. Paul is very friendly and helpfull. We spent in Santa Chiara great time. Many thanks!
Wonderful farmhouse in Umbria
By Giacomo on 19-Aug-2023The accommodation is part of an old renovated farmhouse, in a perfect location for those looking for a place to relax at the end of a day of sightseeing (30 minutes from the main tourist areas such as Perugia, Gubbio, Lake Trasimeno, etc.). The pool is ideal for cooling off on hot summer days, and many games for children are also available for guests. The owners live in the farmhouse and are extremely available in case of need, although they are so discreet that you will forget their presence! Ultimately... we recommend it 100%!!! Thanks Paul, we hope to see you again soon!!!
Cool off in the pool
By Richele on 10-Aug-2023This property is as described, serene, calm and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay. Paul is a great host with many great suggestions. We went in mid June & it was hot, but the pool was perfect for cooling off. Highly recommend if you’re exploring the area. Thank you Paul.
Highly recommended
By Frederic on 05-Aug-2023We had an amazing week at Santa Chiara, and don''t know where to start for this review: the amazing view, the refreshing pool, the privacy, the useful recommendations by the hosts, the delicious food in the recommended restaurants, the toys (especially the little playing area and toy kitchen by the pool),... Highly recommended!
Perfect holiday home
By Lisa on 03-Aug-2023Paul is a hugely friendly host, who respects the privacy of the guests. There are a lot of toys available (both in the house and at the pool). Our girls (1 and 3 years) enjoyed themselves fantastically, for which extra thanks to Paul''s daughter for the nice play area on the pool. The terrace is spacious with a beautiful view. There is also much to do in the region. Wij bezochten o.a. Montone, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Trasimeno en Montepulciano. Thank you for our beautiful Holiday!
Nice place for a spring break
By Alexandre on 27-May-2023We spent one week in Santa Chiara and everything was perfect. Paul is a lovely and very responsive host whenever we need him. The apartment was exactly what we expected and catered for all our needs. And Santa Chiara is very well located for shining in this beautiful region. We will definitely be back.
