Our beautiful 16th century cottage is in an enviable location. The gardens with a private pool stretch out into views of the surrounding hillsides, clad with olive groves and vineyards. The nearby village of Pergo has bars, restaurants and a supermarket. A 10 minutes drive will take you to vibrant Cortona with museums, galleries, amazing shopping and a variety of Italian dining.
Our characterful cottage sleeps from 2-5 people, though we keep the rent low to encourage couples travelling alone to take advantage of it. There are two double bedrooms, 1 single room and 2 bathrooms. .The well equipped first floor open plan living area is a spacious light and airy room with good views. It has a wood burning stove for cooler evenings. There are loads of books, DVDs and TV boxed sets for you to enjoy and tourist guides and maps are available. There is WiFi which is connected to the tv so you can access any of your streaming accounts such as netflx. The kitchen is well equipped with a really good oven/microwave. It has direct access to a large dining terrace with stunning views. The garden has a barbecue and there is even a traditional bread oven attached to the house should you wish to try cooking pizza the Italian way.
The down stairs bedrooms stay cool in summer due to the metre thick walls! We have mosquito nets on the beds (though biting insects are not a particular problem) This does mean you can sleep with a door open to enjoy the sounds and breezes of the night if you wish without the worry of being got at!
Our guests always rave about the tranquil garden which has a wide variety of seating and eating areas all with different views. It has been planted to give year round enjoyment. Our pool is treated with 'oxygen' not chlorine - so no nasty smells, or irritation. There are sun loungers and plenty of shady areas should the sun be too hot. Many guests find it hard to leave the garden, despite the lure of the wonderful sightseeing that is available.
