TUSCANY PROPERTIES


IL BOSCO DEI TARTUFI
Near CORTONA


Sleeps 12

When the owner bought the property, the agent said" I didn't know that it was still possible to buy houses like this in Italy". We are delighted to be able to offer to our clients this unique and beautiful property. Set high in the wooded hills above Cortona, this restored and ancient farm provides a great location for those who wish to enjoy peaceful, unspoiled, yet interesting surroundings in great comfort.

As one drives up to the property you can't help feeling a sense of anticipation: turning into a gloriously open space surrounded by trees and ultimately your holiday home, it is difficult not to be overwhelmed by the setting and stunning, far reaching views to the distant mountains. Surrounded by over 150 acres of its own land, there is a glorious walk through the woods to one of the most spectacular views in Tuscany, overlooking Lake Trasimeno. The swimming pool, sculpted into the grounds, and set into the side of a hill, is designed in a way that the edge simply "disappears', into a spectacular backdrop providing the ultimate panoramica. Its interior designer owner, with both inside and outside alfresco living in mind, has exquisitely restored the house. While remaining sympathetic to its natural environment, it is a house imbued with a sophisticated yet comfortable ambiance, and is furnished throughout with beautiful, inviting sofas and armchairs, antiques, artifacts, all softened with warm rugs and cushions. The living room is smart and spacious, the study with fireplace is intimate and cozy, bedrooms spoiling and comfortable. The bathrooms are characterized by their magnificent old fashioned, free standing bath tubs, two large showers and spectacular Tuscan stone sinks. The spacious kitchen / dining room acts as the social hub of the house, a well equipped and attractive living space which leads onto a covered stone terrace with a dining table set in a position to enjoy long, lazy evenings while enjoying the spectacular views of the hills. With its two independent cottages within meters of the main house, it is a perfect accommodation for family gatherings, or an adult group, who may appreciate the opportunity for their own space. Highly recommended and early bookings advised.
