portion of 17th-century stonehouse in peaceful countryside
Our 17th-century stone house, lying on a hill-side, has been newly restored in respect of the ancient architectural characteristics and materials. The guest apartment is on the ground level of the house, and consists of a king-size bedroom, a living room with a twin sofa-bed, dining room, kitchen (with oven, fridge and washing-machine), and bathroom with shower. Independent central heating. The rooms, which in ancient times were animal stables, have been beautifully restaured preserving many original details, such as the old manger in the bedroom. The furniture is comfortable with old peasant pieces and some antique and oriental pieces. A wide stone terrace (furnished with tables, chairs, deck-chairs and sun-umbrella) offers a wide view facing directly the surrounding hills, and represents the ideal setting for sun-bathing, eating, or just relaxing! Children-friendly and pet-friendly. All expenses are included, linens and towels provided, as well as cookingware. Smoking allowed only outside the house. The access to the house is through a 900-meter driving lane among the woods. There is a parking area. English-speaking owners.
The countryhouse is located strategically near the border between Tuscany and Umbria, in the heart of the countryside between Cortona (19 Km), Città di Castello (25 Km), and the Trasimeno lake (33 Km). The house is amidst peaceful hills in a 15-hectares private property, consisting of oak woods, olive trees and meadows, run through by walking trails. Peace and quiet are guaranteed; but at the same time beautiful art cities are only a half-an-hour drive away; Perugia, Gubbio, Arezzo and Sansepolcro (birthplace of Piero della Francesca) about forty-five minutes away. The nearest village is at 4 Km, and offers a drugstore, a pizzeria, two restaurants, two bars, a swimming-pool and a post office; a horse-riding facility is at 6 Km, and various restaurants, shops and supermarkets at 10 Km.
Tai Chi Chuan lessons and Holistic training available on site upon request. Lessons are English-spoken and paid as an extra.
