CASA DEL SOLE 4

Toscana - Arezzo - CORTONA

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (LEASE ONLY - CIR CODE: 051017LTN0590). The house, which dates 19th century, as can be seen from the inscription on sandstone conserved by the owner, has undergone renovation which has maintained the interior structure that the preceding owners had given it. The house has a large park divided between approximately 1500 sq m of garden with the rest given over to terracing with olive trees. On the top floor is the owners’ apartment, very reserved people but at the same time very helpful to guests if the need should arise. The owners’ apartment has a completely independent entrance and they do not use the park or the pool. Casa del Sole is a few hundred metres from the centre of Cortona yet pleasantly immersed in the green hill of Cortona from where it dominates the valley below. Cosy corners in the garden as well as fabulous glimpses of the view can be enjoyed by the guests in this charming property. From here the beautiful little towns of Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino but also the more important towns like Siena, Perugia, Florence and Rome can be easily reached.

CASA DEL SOLE HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

Interior:

The part used for renting is all on one floor. The main entrance leads into the kitchen with dining area and into the sitting room with working fireplace formed by an open space divided by a brick archway. A corridor leads to the sleeping area composed of a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, with two queen size beds, which share a bathroom with tub and shower.

Park:

The park extends around the house for about 1000 sq m, of which about 500 sq m are garden and the rest terracing with olive trees. Many large trees, such as oaks and holm oaks, linden, cypress, plum and fig trees, are present in the property. The various corners of the garden are embellished by vibernum, rosemary and spiraea bushes, bamboo and pots with various kinds of flowers. In a secluded area of the garden is an open air lounge with comfortable armchairs with cushions and a small rattan table, a charming spot for sitting and relaxing in absolute peace. At the back of the house is a pergola furnished with table and chairs and a barbecue for pleasant alfresco meals. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

The pool is fully fenced and It is rectangular in shape, access to the water is by Roman steps, it is lined in PVC and measures 10 x 4 m with a depth varying from 1 to 2.20 m.

Mrs Teresa was so helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Mrs Teresa and her husband live on site but they are very discreet and you don't notice them at all. I was able to ask her advice on good local restaurants and where was best to go on a day trip to the beach and she was extremely helpful and informed. The pool was cleaned every day and was spotless. We had a wonderful time, thank you.

This property has a beautiful large garden area, with lots of different spaces for different purposes (bbq area, 2 couch/relax areas, pool area, open area etc). This meant our family could be busy doing lots of different things but not be in each other's way. Also the view from the pool is gorgeous, as the villa is on a hillside and has views overlooking this. The inside of the property itself is not massive, but is perfectly sized for being comfortable and spending time as a family. The decor
Do you have any suggestions to improve the property?
No, we were very happy with this property. It was a perfect stay and the owner was lovely and kept to herself so we really felt this was our villa and nobody else was there! When we did see her, she was very helpful, polite and friendly!
