Outside
The swimming pool is positioned a short distance away from the house in a quiet corner of the mature garden. The pool measures 5 x 10 metres and has a shallow and a deep end. There are two ladders and also some internal steps that make it suitable for toddlers. The whole property is surrounded by its own private olive grove and with the vineyard lined driveway that leads up to Cuculaia you really are in the middle of those two essential ingredients of life in Tuscany! To cap it all there are great views of the medieval town of Cortona that is located only a few kilometers away. Cortona has a mass of great restaurants, musical festivals, open air cinema & opera, art galleries, museums and everything one could want from an Etruscan hill top town!
Coast/Beach
It is about a 2 hour drive to either the east or the west coast of Italy. Lago Trasimeno, the largest lake in the Italian peninsular, is a 10 minute drive from Cuculaia. Here there are beaches, wind surfing and other aquatic opportunities for guest to enjoy. There are ferries to the islands on the lake where you can explore the spot that St Francis spent time fasting in 1211 and also where the very first plane flew! Restaurants here will allow you to enjoy the local fish from the lake.
Golf
There are 3 golf courses within a 30 minute drive from Cuculaia.
Travel
Whatever your mode of travel to Italy might be you will definitely need a car while staying here. While Cuculaia is not secluded the lack of your own transport will certainly deny you the opportunity to visit all the magical sights that the area has to offer, quite apart from making shopping a chore rather than an exciting adventure.
Distances
You are right in the heart of cultural Italy here and are spoilt with choice of places to visit. Cortona is right on your doorstep and Sansepolcro, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Spoleto, Spello and Montepulciano are all within an hours drive. Siena, Florence, Pisa, and Rome are also within easy reach by car or train. The local village of the Ossia with its shops and restaurant is within a 5 min drive or leisurely walk. Terontola, the railway station on the main line to Florence and Rome, is not far.
Further details
Central heating and log fires make this lovely property a perfect retreat for winter breaks as well as those indulgent lazy summer ones, although the cottage is not available during the winter.
