THE HOUSE
The old stone walls of the house, which in parts are a metre thick, are perfectly designed for the Umbrian climate, keeping the house cool in the summer months and warm in the coldest months of winter. A brand new central heating system can also be supplemented by, or substituted for, the more traditional, and romantic, wood-burning stove, with its own supply of wood in the cellar.
BEDROOMS
The bedrooms are furnished in a traditional style with solid chestnut
and hand-painted furniture. The king-size brass and iron bedsteads
have quality mattresses and are made up with the finest linen and
choice of pillows. The staircase also leads on up to the attic which
has been sympathetically converted, leaving original beams and stonework
exposed.
KITCHEN
The traditional, solid chestnut fitted kitchen has a wood-burning stove and leads out directly onto
the herb garden and terrace. It is generously equipped with top quality
appliances including a SMEG 6-burner hob & oven, a top-of-the-range
espresso coffee machine, in-built dishwasher, and a full range of
quality crockery, cutlery, gadgets and utensils.
LIVING ROOM
In the cosy living room there are two large, luxurious sofas (one
a double sofa-bed), a TV and DVD, a quality CD music system and
selection of music, a wide range of reading material and maps, chess,
card games and art paints.
CANTINA
In the cellar, you'll find a completely
refurbished laundry with sink, washing machine and tumble dryer,
a chest freezer and an extra fridge for those chilled drinks on
the terrace! Further in, there's the traditional "legnaia" or woodstore,
which also serves as the "cantina" or wine cellar.
GARDEN
The newly-laid terrace, with its truly spectacular
views across the valley and to distant castles, makes the perfect place
for dining "al fresco" in the shade of a vine and jasmine-covered
gazebo, and there are comfortable sunloungers for relaxing on the lawn in the
warm Italian sunshine or enjoying the glorious sunsets over the hills
on the Umbria and Tuscany border…
