Enrapturing Scenery

Holiday Rental Description

It's fair to say that Tuscany moves at its own pace and it's not the place to go for homes on the cutting-edge of contemporary design. What you will find reassuring amounts of, however, is villas with time-honoured characters such as this one.

Dating back to the 19th century, the interior is packed full of charming period features, from patches of exposed stonework and wooden ceiling beams to traditional fireplaces around which to gather after the sun's gone down for the day. You can see that renovations have been made over the years, but any changes are in keeping with the region's inimitable style.

The same can be said for the outside space, too. As such, you can pass your days here frolicking about in the swimming pool, luxuriating in the hot tub or simply admiring the views of verdant hillsides from the comfort of a lounger. When bellies start to rumble, you can fire up the stone barbecue or think about heading to the nearest restaurant 4km away.

There's a better choice when it comes to food and drink, plus lots of attractions, in the Etruscan town of Cortona, 16km from the home. Elsewhere in the locale, you probably don't need telling that there's a wealth of countryside to explore, including Lake Trasimeno only 30km away.
