This quaint Tuscan accommodation is set high and a hill and surrounded by large, beautiful grounds with a gorgeous swimming pool. The views are divine, especially from the first floor balcony.

- Location Description
-
The property is located six kilometers from Foiano della Chiana where you'll find a golf course, restaurants, and shops, but its claim to fame is its annual carnival which first began in the year 1539 and is the oldest in Italy. The four districts of the town (Bombolo, Azzurri, Rustici, and Nottambuli) compete for the Carnival’s Cup by trying to build the most impressive and creative float. The ancient Etruscan town of Cortona is a short drive away and is full of art, history, and culture. Tour frescoed churches from the 13th century; explore the original city walls, and then visit an art exhibit in the 16th century fortress. You are also sure to find restaurants featuring delicious Tuscan dishes and ancient sarcophagi dating back to the second century BC. There are plenty of local shops selling antiques, crafts, wines, and olive oils. Other great day trip destinations include Arezzo, Castiglion Fiorentina, Montepulciano, and Siena.
Nearby Attractions: Castiglion Fiorentino (hiking, biking, antique shops, Church of Saint Angelo, Church of Saint Francesco, Palazzo Pretorio), Cortona (13th century churches, art exhibits, restaurants, ancient tombs, shops), S. Albino (spas), Lake Trasimeno (wind surfing, boat rental), Siena

Refrigerator is small, so we used sandwich and gallons bags for left overs. Prior guest left items behind (sponges, dish soap, spices, tea bags). And we did the same. Olive oil, salt/pepper, sugar.
Directions:
Mention that it is in the country, no street lights, signage is very small. GPS is a must.
