An attractive stone farmhouse, it was originally a farm shed belonging to the nearby Leopoldine villa (where the owner lives without disturbing the guests and could, in fact, be a useful reference point for them) and recently completely renovated with an eye to conservation and careful salvage of all the original materials. The result is a comfortable and elegant country house, fitted with all accessories, with the interior characterized by natural tones that recall the colours of the earth and illuminate the rooms which are furnished simply and basically, creating a warm and inviting domestic atmosphere. Outside, the luxuriant garden, with its many flowering plants, is the perfect frame for the inviting outdoor areas set up to let the guests experience the spectacle of nature in an exclusive triumph of scent and colour while guaranteeing them relaxation and tranquillity. The house, surrounded by fields of sunflowers and with a view over Cortona, is not far from shopping centres and road links which offer the possibility of making interesting cultural, artistic and gastronomic visits to the main art cities in Tuscany, such as Siena, Florence and Arezzo, but also in neighbouring Umbria, such as Perugia, Assisi and Orvieto. The famous little rural towns around Siena, like San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza and Montalcino, are within easy reach, as is the magnificent area of Chianti.

Park: The entire property, completely fenced-in and protected by a double border of leylandii hedge along the whole perimeter, occupies an area of approximately 1 hectare. From the entrance gate, the driveway, bordered by cypress trees and bushes of lavender and rosemary, leads to the parking area and to the luxuriant, well-kept park. A large grassy area contains the rich and varied orchard, with plums, cherries, peaches and grapevines. Holm oaks, lime and lemon trees alternate with bushes of herbs and climbing roses throughout the garden. On a side of the house, embellished with camellias, rhododendrons and hydrangeas, is a wooden gazebo set up with a confortable sitting area, table and chairs and, close by, in front of the dining room French window, is a wood oven and mobile barbecue. At the centre of the garden, dominated by two majestic weeping willow fringed with white roses, the portico, a large wooden structure surrounded by porcelain vine and set up with table and benches, provides the ideal outdoor living area for sitting in the shade and drinking in the peaceful atmosphere. The wooden structure under the portico, accessible from the outside, houses the laundry room.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Jun 17, 2018 #### Misleading photography The interior photography is spot on as is the garden. All that is, apart from the proximity of you rental to the owners house. In fact the bbq for your use is in the side wall of their home. The owners are charming and respectful but you are holidaying in someone else’s garden. Unfortunately, and I don’t know if perhaps we were just unlucky, I don’t think so though, but due to the position of the house which is in a plain in between two substantial drainage ditches, the mosquitoes are merciless. Geographically well positioned for Cortona, Assis and other towns of note. This for us did not outweigh the negatives. The house is very clean and obviously newly renovated for rental so absolutely no complaints there. Such a shame. ##### Stella W.
