Castellino
A four
bedroom house that sleeps 8, Castellino is a large country house
near an ancient fortress that towers over the Niccone valley. The
house traces its roots back to the 14th century.
It is quite
private with outstanding views looking over the valley to another
ruined castle in Tuscany with the Umbrian village of Lisciano Niccone
and Mercatale di Cortona in Tuscany.
Both villages
are just a few minutes away and have all services needed on holiday
including three restaurants.
The house
is top quality and sympathetically restored to its old charm. It
is very comfortably furnished with all modern fittings including
stereo system, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, TV/ video cassette
player and netted windows.
The main
door, as was traditional in farmhouses, is from a walled loggia
approached by external stairs.
On the ground floor is a spacious living room with French doors
opening directly on to a large well furnished patio area with superb
views - ideal for al fresco dining. Leading through a wide doorway
is the large kitchen and dining room with an original 14th century
working fireplace. Very well equipped with plenty of space and a
loggia leading to a shady stone tiled courtyard, the organic vegetable
patch, an orchard and the well.
On the
other side of the living room is a large double bedroom with its
own sitting area and bathroom next door with a walk in shower. This
bedroom also has french doors opening up to an outdoor sitting area
on the patio.Also on the ground floor is a utility room with washer
and dryer.
Stairs
from living room to a large sitting room with sofas and coffee table
etc. On one side are two bedrooms, each with two beds, which share
a bathroom (shower). On the other side of the sitting room is a
bedroom with double bed and ensuite large bathroom with both shower
and tub.
There is
a tree house in the well-maintained garden, which takes advantage
of the hillside location with slopes and terraces, numerous well-furnished
shady sitting areas and a traditional stone built, wood fired BBQ.
The 50-foot
pool takes full advantage of the sloping terraces to provide breathtaking
views of treetops and ancient castles.
