About Casa Anam Cara

About Your Hostess with the Mostess!

Casa Anam Cara is a co-travel villa beside Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, Italy. It’s aimed at solo women travellers, female digital nomads and women who want to retreat to a space to work on a creative project amongst other women.

Within walking distance of supermarkets, a train station and the beautiful town of Passignano Sul Trasimeno (graded as one of the prettiest towns in Italy), Casa Anam Cara is the perfect place to unwind or have peace and quiet to work on a project while also having places to go when you have time off.

If you are visiting Italy solo or with a friend, Casa Anam Cara is the perfect base to explore the towns and cities of Tuscany and Umbria. Day trips to Florence, Perugia and Rome are all possible from the train station.

For those who are active a 37 km cycle path encircles Lake Trasimeno. The well lit path runs right behind the villa – perfect for running and walking or just for a stroll to the lake shore to enjoy the sunset with an Aperol Spritz or sunrise with a cappuccino to start your day.

After 30 years of magazine publishing and running destination group events, Rosie Meleady followed her dream and wrote a book about buying a derelict villa in Italy and renovating it with her husband Ronan.

The book is now part of a series of six books called A Rosie Life In Italy. Their success has allowed Rosie to become a full time author. From the first chapters of book one, Rosie had a vision of opening the villa to writers and creatives. That dream is now a reality.
