The House:
Newly available this year, the house forms part of a small Borgo which has just been restored in its entirety to a very high standard using original materials. With commanding views over the surrounding countryside, it has private gardens (approx 1/4 acre) and the use of a beautifully positioned swimming pool and Astro Turf tennis court set within 11 acres of shared grounds. The house is on 1 level and has been lovingly finished using cotto tiled floors, waxed beams, traditional paint techniques and handmade furniture from Florence and Citta Di Castello. The 3 bedrooms have traditional cast iron beds, good quality mattresses and white linen. There are 2 bathrooms with showers, glass screens and heated towel rails. The living space has a stone fireplace and kitchen with dishwasher. There is also a washing machine, flat screen satellite TV with DVD/CD player and iPod docking station/speakers.
Outside:
A pathway leads directly from the car parking area through the front garden to the house. All rooms are on the ground floor with no change in levels.Garden furniture, consisting of a white painted iron dining table with 6 chairs beneath the Pergola, 4 sun loungers and a Weber barbecue, is provided within the private, irrigated gardens stocked with olive, fruit trees and lavender. A private pathway leads towards the large, shared swimming pool which, together with the Astro Turf tennis court, have recently been completed. The grounds are tended and maintained by a Caretaker who is on hand for any assistance that may be required. At the heart of the Borgo lies the original, grand villa and cobbled square. There is also a formal garden area planted with cherry, apple, plum and pear trees plus tomato, basil, courgette and aubergine plants for guests to enjoy. Whilst children are welcome, please note that the swimming pool is not alarmed or fenced. Sorry but no pets are allowed.
