Torricella

Description

On top of the world! That is exactly how it feels. This beautifully restored Casa Padronale sits atop a hillside with sweeping views into the valley below. From the spacious farmhouse style kitchen with adjoining loggia for breakfast to the wonderful upstairs soggiorno with enormous fireplace the sense of peace and tranquillity is apparent. The grounds surrounding the house offer wonderful walks. Guests will find that there are plenty of private spaces as well as communal areas which offer great entertaining possibilities. The pool area overlooking the olive grove and vines is a panacea for the senses. The house has been restored using traditional regional materials and has excellent green credentials with a low carbon footprint. The tasteful furniture and sense of style are apparent everywhere. The old adage of location, location, location says it all when one gazes at the vista below the house. All bedrooms have overhead ceiling fans and all windows have insect screens. For children there are cots, high chairs and a buggy as well as an abundance of games. For the adults, think of wine tastings, cooking courses and so much more. You may never want to leave! For those who like to combine relaxation with sightseeing, there are many wonderful towns within easy driving distance such as Cortona, Citta Di Castello and Perugia.
We can offer Italian immersion courses at the Villa so that, when one does venture forth, one is confident to mix in with the local people.
The house also has an abundance of books and plenty of secluded areas to sit and read.
There are four main bedrooms (3 doubles and 1 twin/double), a bedroom/study which has a convertible sofa bed and the Hayloft also has futons which are perfect for young people. There are three bathrooms and a downstairs loo in the boiler room.
As a personal touch for our guests we offer toiletries and a welcome pack.
