VALLOCCHIO
CETONA
|
Sleeps 6
Vallocchio exudes a wonderful feeling of
restfulness and a true sense of being as much
loved home. Its attentive owner discretely
ensures that his guests needs are attended to,
to the extent that a wonderful selection of
wines are left on an "honesty basis" in a
rock cooled cellar.
Only a few minutes drive from Cetona,
Vallocchio is located on a hill in 22 acres of
unspoiled Tuscan countryside. Originally a
working farm with vineyards and olive
groves, this pretty stone house is reached
along a magical avenue of chestnuts, pine,
beech and oak trees. Apart from a bedroom,
kitchen, and the dining areas inside and out,
the ground floor has a living room with a
wonderful glass door shaped picture window
which frames Cetona beyond. Stairs lead up
to the original living space where the
farming family once lived, and a wonderful
living area full of character with the original
beams and a huge fireplace large enough to
roast an entire cow. From here. Doors lead
to two further bedrooms and two baths.
Vallocchio is surrounded by an informal
garden of lawns, flowers, and shrubs, with
a lovely pool area located well away from
the house. From here, long soporific days
can be spent, enjoying vistas of open
countryside in the spring, covered in
ginestra - views of old Tuscan farmhouses,
and Citta della Pieve on the skyline. A path
leads to the woodland edge on the hillside,
and to a "secret" doorway to the original
wine cellars. The owner's father used them
to store huge barrels of wine, but nowadays
guests are given a key and can help
themselves to delicious wines on an honesty
basis, settling up at the end of their stay.
