Restored recently, this farmhouse offers five bedroom accommodation, including four first floor bedrooms, three of which are ensuite. There is a ground floor bedroom with ensuite, and three barrel-vaulted chambers providing a stunning living area. Beamed ceilings and original floors retain the character and simple charm of this Tuscan farmhouse with plenty of natural light. The house sits on the edge of the "Alpe della Luna" or "mountains of the moon" of Tuscany and is accessed by a quiet tarmac road that leads to a network of tracks for walking into the national park in which the house sits. Excellent South facing views towards Sansepolcro where one can enjoy the special atmosphere of a "little Florence" with its excellent restaurants, shops, bars and of course the museum of "Piero della Francesca". There is a 5m x12m solar heated pool, olive grove, fruit trees and climbing roses. Stunning valley and hillside views all around. A first class restaurant is just a short stroll away and is open all year round. |

I stayed here for 2 weeks - first with friends, then with family. Everything about the villa was perfect for both groups. Plenty of space to be together as well as privacy when desired. Chris, the host and Simon, the caretaker, were both very responsive to questions and needs. The villa is comfortable and thoughtfully put together both inside and out. Chris helped us arrange for a cooking lesson at Il Trebbio - not far from the villa and it was wonderful - we learned a lot, had fun and ate very well! We were also able to arrange for a chef to come in to cook for us in the villa which was wonderful as well! Many small towns to explore within comfortable driving distance. Florence, Siena and Perugia are a bit of a drive but able to be done in a day as well.
We were very pleasantly surprised by the location and the quality of this lovely property - our expectations were exceeded! A charming home, with a well equipped kitchen, great pool, a real wood burning pizza oven, and even cable TV (critical for World Cup games!). Simon the caretaker was outstanding, handling any requests or issues promptly, with a smile. We were a group of 8 - two families of 4, and we had lots of room, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We highly recommend it!
This is a wonderful villa up in the Tuscan hills. We were 6 adults and 2 children. It could have slept 10. There were 2 great outside eating areas which we love. Everything was well maintained. The nearest town is Sansepolcro, where there are good supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. It is about 15 minutes away. There is an outside pizza oven. We had never used one, but had great fun one night with this one. The pool is lovely. Such a brilliant, brilliant place.
