Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

The rolling hills of Tuscany are a bucket-list destination for many, and this home puts you right in the heart of the dreamy landscapes. It's the perfect place to kick back, relax, and spend some quality time with your loved ones. As soon as you arrive, you'll notice the charming white-washed exterior and red-tiled roof. Inside, there are plenty more traditional touches, from the terracotta tiles to the wooden ceiling beams. Enjoy some respite from the heat and flop down on the sofa, soak in the Jacuzzi tub, or rustle up your favourite pasta dishes in the kitchen. The outdoor space is equally fabulous – on hot days you can stretch out on a sun lounger with a good book, then cool off with a dip in the swimming pool. Wine lovers will be in heaven, with a selection of wineries just a short drive or bike ride away. If you fancy a hike, take a six-minute drive over the border to Umbria for a walk around the water at Parco Nazionale del Lago Trasimeno. And, the hilltop town of Cortona is just fifteen minutes away by car, where you can wander through the ancient streets and visit the fascinating Etruscan Academy Museum.
