Description:
PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only - CIR CODE: 051017LTN0491). Torretta Filomena. located on a hilltop at 330 m above sea level along one of the numerous white tracks that animate the brilliant Cortona countryside, dominates a landscape immersed in silence, enlivened by the plain of the Val di Chiana with its cultivated fields and green hills topped by picturesque old borghi, with one of the most well-known being Montepulciano. A picturesque rustic painting into which this recently-restored refuge, far from the bustle of everyday life, fits harmoniously. In full respect of the genius loci, the exposed-stone building has preserved intact the charm of the typical Tuscan rural home, once a rustic farm: the rooms are characterised by simplicity and essentiality yet are comfortable and welcoming. The pride of the property is the wonderful manicured garden that surrounds the house, a succession of Mediterranean essences, olive trees, climbing jasmine and bushes of white roses; on one side the exclusive swimming pool offers wonderful panoramic views and full relaxation. Immersed in the brilliant nature of the Val d’Esse, rich in churches, archaeological sites and Renaissance villas, along the stream of the same name which extends to Umbria, the property is just a few minutes from wonderful Cortona. From here you can easily reach the nearby shopping centres and main road links, and you can make many trips seeking culture, typical gastronomy and art towards the major towns of Tuscany, such as Siena, Florence, Arezzo and of nearby Umbria, such as Perugia, Assisi and Orvieto. Short trips will take you to the famous rural borghi around Siena, such as San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza and Montalcino in the Val d’Orcia and also the magnificent Chianti area.
