Restored farmhouse with private pool on Umbria/Tuscany border, breathtaking view | House in Citta di Castello
3 Bedroom House in Volerrano, Citta di Castello
Halfway between Florence and Perugia on the Umbrian/Tuscan border a restored 3 bedroomed semi-detached farmhouse with private unheated swimming pool and glorious uninterrupted views over the Tuscan hills. In a strategic position to explore the medieval towns nearby or just get away from it all.
The property is very typical of farmhouses built in the Umbrian/Tuscan area and the original farmhouse dates back over 500 years. The semi-detached house, pool, garden and entrances are all completely independent and are not shared.
The interior has been restored with beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls and terracotta flooring. It is comfortably furnished with a mixture of antique and modern.
The accommodation is on three floors linked by a spiral staircase. On the ground floor the kitchen flows through to the living room, which opens onto a covered terrace for outside dining. The top floor twin bedroom has its own bathroom with sloping roof.
The 2 other bedrooms and bathroom are on the 1st floor area as is the private balcony which overlooks the pool.
Outside there are paved terraces and grassy areas with garden furniture for relaxing and alfresco eating. The house and pool all benefit from a south facing aspect and the garden is planted with olive trees and lavender.
The 10 x 4 metre swimming pool is on a lower terrace with a solar shower and the most spectacular views! The pool is 1 metre deep at the shallow end dipping to 1.3 metres at its deepest. The pool (unheated) is open from end May to end September weather permitting.
There are a number of neighbouring farms where it is possible to buy olive oil, eggs and firewood. The surrounding woods are also a good place for mushroom picking and some wonderful scenic walks. The nearest grocery shop is 1 kilometre down the hill in Volterrano village with a larger grocers in Morra 3 kilometres away. The nearby small town of Trestina (14 kilometres away) has 3 large supermarkets as well as restaurants, bars etc.
Citta di Castello (25 kilometres away) is the capital of Northern Umbria and the region is host to many festa's throughout the year, including a Truffle festival in November. It has a twice weekly market on a Thursday & Saturday & also hosts a monthly antiques market on the 3rd Sunday of the month. Perugia (60 kilometres away) the capital of Umbria hosts the internationally acclaimed Umbria Jazz Festival in July each year plus its famous Chocolate Festival in mid-October.
