Description
RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE. villa is a typical Tuscan stone farmhouse, located a few kilometres from Cortona, a charming little town in the heart of Tuscany. The property is part of a farm estate of about 6 hectares where the owners produce olive oil and wine which they share with their guests and friends. The house was renovated in 2003 by the current owners when they moved from the city to the beautiful Tuscan countryside, maintaining unaltered the characteristics of this type of house, such as wooden-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The property is set in a very interesting location due to its proximity to tourist centres such as Montepulciano, Pienza and Lake Trasimeno and to art cities like Siena, Perugia and Florence which can be reached in a short time thanks to efficient road and rail links. Please note: Within the property, in an annex a few meters away from the house, lives the caretaker who, with discretion, takes care of the maintenance of the park and the pool; of course, this person will not interfere with the use of the park and the pool which will always be at the guests' exclusive use and full privacy will always be guaranteed during the stay.
