The house is located on the edge of a small hamlet ( which does have a grocery shop selling fresh pasta! ) opposite open fields and rolling hills. It is surrounded by lovely walking country, with a large lake nearby. It is a 10 minute drive to the stunning medieval hilltop town of Anghiari and approx 20 minutes by car to the lovely old town of Sansepolcro, the heart of the Piero Della Francesco trail. Half an hour north and you reach the forests of the Casentino and the hilltop monastery where St Francis of Assisi received the stigmata, approx half an hour south and you are in the beautiful Tuscan town of Arezzo, with its antiques market and rich art history. It is approx 1.5 hours by car to either Florence or Urbino, just over an hour to Siena, Cortona or Assisi or the wine routes of Chiantishire or Montepulciano. There are fantastic local restaurants in alpine settings near to Caprese, the birthplace of Michelangelo or some of the best Bisteca in trattorias in Sansepolcro & Anghiari.
