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

Sitting on the peaceful border between Tuscany and Umbria, adventurers will be glad to know this home isn't too far off the beaten track. In one direction, Chiusi beckons you to visit the Museo Archeologico Nazionale and, the other way, Città della Pieve calls you into Pieve Co-Cathedral – both are a seven-kilometre drive. One thing's for certain when you come here, lots of fresh air and hilly picnics. Ideal for groups craving a sense of space, this idyllic home spreads out over three separate apartments. With plenty to do among the fruit trees and flowers, how about a morning workout in this open-air gym? Maybe relaxing in the hot tub would suit you better, or dipping your toes in the infinity pool to keep cool during those sunny afternoons. If you're staying in the winter, just imagine dining on Italian-inspired dishes with your dearest ones – farm-to-table cooking couldn't be easier thanks to the abundant vegetable garden.
