Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this traditional villa where Tuscany meets Umbria, just a few kilometres from the medieval borgo of Città della Pieve. As far as locations go, it's incredibly scenic. The region is home to rolling hills, centuries-old olive groves, and must-see cities such as Perugia and Cortona – all easily accessible by car. Back home, the private pool is ideal for afternoon dips, the terrace has alfresco dining written all over it, and the balcony is the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine. The layout inside is a little quirky – multiple bedrooms are connected together, and one has external access – but that's all part of the charm.
