After owning Villa Bastiola for 10 years, we finally took the plunge (terrible joke) and invested in a gorgeous infinity pool! It nestles in the gardens overlooking the olive grove and incredible views of Umbria and Tuscany beyond.

At 10m x 5m and a depth of 1.20m throughout it is a perfect way to cool off in the summer sun, for family fun and even some serious swimming to minimise the effects of the delicious Umbrian food.

A mineral salt purification system has been fitted to keep the water sparkling clean – it’s so much better for sensitive skin and eyes.

The pool is surrounded on two sides by a terrace with 8 lovely Rimini sun loungers and a table and chairs, all overlooking the view. Even better, a minibar area is about to be installed by the pool so no need to trek back up to the Villa for refreshments, it’s all on hand!
