Farmhouse Split into 1 and 3 Bedrooms
|
|
Casa Tersalle is a 300-year-old traditional Umbrian farmhouse, part of a hamlet situated in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Surrounded by stunning countryside and woodland, it is also close to local amenities. The house, simply but comfortably furnished, is on two floors with spacious accommodation and is suitable for 2-8 people (exclusive use, however many people). The Kiwi/English owners, who live in separate accommodation (in the former animal stalls!), are available for help and advice if necessary and both speak fluent Italian. There are numerous bars and restaurants locally and wonderful opportunities for walking and sightseeing in the area. The historic towns of Citta di Castello (Umbria) and Sansepolcro (Tuscany) are a 15-20 min. drive away and various mediaeval hilltop towns, each with their own character, are waiting to be explored nearby. The towns of Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio and Orvieto, and the cities of Florence, Siena and Cortona are all within a pleasant 1-2 hour drive.
