Guest comments
Mr. Ward, London - How much we enjoyed your beautiful house and all the things in it. It was a constant delight, a time view wonderful.

Mr. Rabe, Sweden - The house is more beautiful than in the photographs. The sun shines all day long over the pool.

Real Estate Agent, London - It is not easy to find a 200sq. mt house articulated in such a way as to allow many spaces of privacy and with such a large swimming pool.

Louise White-Trant,England- We stayed at the cottage mid August 2010 for two weeks. The house simple but elegantly furnished with tons of character. We loved the pool which is surrounded by lush vegetation. The cottage is well situated:Orvieto,Todi,Perugia,SanSepolcro,Città di Castello,Arezzo,
Siena and Rome all near. The area stunning and the house a perfect retreat from the chaos of everyday life.

Mrs.Aileen Allsop- England - "...house lovely and very spacious. The owners
are helpful... we very much appreciated access to the books and videos.."

Owner profile


About the owner
Italian journalist/photographer/filmmaker, lives in Rome. Canadian painter lives in N. old friends from way back. Some years ago, by chance, we found the opportunity of buying a a property that had just been built and that we could share. We put a lot of thought into re-designing the interior of the house to make it spacious and comfortable and that it could allow personal privacy. The ceilings are high and altogether there is the feeling of a loft in the cottage. It is a wonderful place to escape to, the local farmers have become friends and provide fresh eggs and vegetables. We also like the idea of making our own olive oil once a year.
