Like many traditional homes in Tuscany, this gorgeous old farmhouse is full of rustic elegance, with ivy and vines creeping over the exterior, beautifully matching it to its country surroundings. With traditional wooden floors boasting large woollen rugs and thick wooden beams on the ceilings, there’s no mistaking this home's authentic and historic character. Each of the three comfortable bedrooms is bright and full of country flair while the bathrooms are fitted with Italian patterned tiles. Outside, the garden runs down to the cool, inviting swimming pool and the wide terrace is the perfect place to sit for a barbecue lunch while taking in hilltop views of the Tuscan countryside. Just a 25-minute drive over the border from Tuscany to Umbria and you’ll reach the beautiful shore of Lago Trasimeno, a large freshwater lake where you can take a boat out or enjoy a meal in a taverna on the water’s edge.
