This lovely old farmhouse was completely re-done in 2003, combining the best of the old with the unashamedly new, in terms of bathrooms, pool, central heating etc. Situated at a height of 350 metres, the setting is stunning with spectacular views on every side. To the east, the sun rises over the hill town of Penna San Giovanni, to the south lies Monte San Martino at 603 metres, while you can watch the sun set over the Sibillini Mountains at over 2,400 metres. Floors throughout the house are beautifully tiled in dusky local terracotta and all the ceilings have exposed beams. *Stop press* as featured in ITV’s 'This Morning - family getaways 19th March 2008.

Tiled surround with sun-loungers and umbrellas and surrounded by lawn with a lavender walk. Very large pergola to the side of the house, overlooking the pool with seating for 8 and a portable barbecue.
