Spacious house on Tuscany Umbria border sleeps 8
Description
Casa del Lupo is our home in Italy, a large stone country house with wonderful views from every aspect. Its nearest neighbour is the old monastery of San Niccolo, now an occasionally used church.
The main house has three bedrooms and a large garden with pool. It can sleep up to eight.
There are three floors and the ground floor is also on two levels with a big sitting room running the full width of the house and opening on to a lawned area. A few steps (additional cloakroom with WC and washing machine off to one side) bring you to the dining room separated from the kitchen by a short open space.
The large kitchen has a gas cooking hob with five rings, an electric oven, fridge with large freezing compartment, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen door opens out onto a patio with a gazebo. The ground floor is partially open plan except for the cloakroom.
Broad stone and tiled stairs lead to the first floor with a double bedroom with bathroom ensuite, a further, large double bedroom and a large bedroom with two single beds and a set of full size single bunk beds (one bed fixed above the other). There is also a very big family bathroom with tub and shower.
The upper floor forms a self-contained apartment which we use when in Italy and is not rented out. It has its own separate entrance at the back, made possible as the house is built on a hillside. The garden, pool, and main house are private to guests.
We are in a hamlet called Val di Rosa centred on an ancient monastery now a church and three terrace houses which you pass on the way to Casa del Lupo. The house is quite private but on the edge of the community and close to others - a mixture of Italian and English owned homes. The house is detatched and not over looked; in a beautiful rural situation. It is in a picturesque small hamlet that contains a few cottages attached to a very old church with bell tower (campanile).
The house is reached by tarmac road all the way. It is an 8 minute drive to the lively village of Lisciano Niccone which has 2 pizzerias/restaurants, cafe/gelateria, post office, bank with ATM, butcher and grocers. The village of Mercatale di Cortona in Tuscany is a further kilometre and has another restaurant, more cafes and shops. Both vilages have summer festivals with dancing, dinners and small attractions.
The house has an up-to-date information pack giving information on shooping, places to visit, restaurants, walking opportunites, wine tastings and much more.
