Eco-friendly farmhouse

The farmhouse is situated on the side of a hill in the hamlet of Aquilea. It has panoramic views of the valley and the national park in the distance. The views can only be described as stunning! The farm is an organic small holding with free range animals, olive groves, vegetables and fruit. They produce some of the electricity and hot water from solar panels. The house has been recently fully restore to a very high standard and can be rented out as one or as two separate units. Unit one has a kitchen/diner, bathroom and bedroom. Unit two has kitchen/diner, lounge, bathroom and two bedrooms. Outside is a area, for each unit, for those ' Al fresco ' meals. There is also a round, above the ground pool, to relax in. The owner speaks excellent English and will cook those real Tuscany dinners for 20 Euro per head. For an extra 25 Euro per head you could have a cookery lesson. The dinners and the cookery lesson are severed and done in the owner's part of the house.
