Holiday Home/Apartment - 4 persons - Borgo il poeta - 06019 - Umbertide

Borgo Il Poeta sits in ten acres of grounds and landscaped gardens overlooking the Tiber valley. All the houses have views of fields and wooded hills. The group of houses grew up around a military tower, in 1500, built along the border between Tuscany and Umbria, on the Umbrian side. The Chapel, dedicated to Santa Lucia, dates back to 1707 and its erection completed the gradual growth of the original settlement into a true hamlet. Although Casa Santa Lucia is for two guests ( plus Sofa bed for 2 ), it has plenty of space. The entrance is at the rear of the house where there is a large expanse of lawn with outdoor furniture. The comfortable sitting room, with the usual sofa, armchair and writing desk, also has a large antique wardrobe and a working stove as well as an enormous picture window overlooking the countryside. The en suite bedroom has a four poster canopy bed. Stairs lead down from the sitting room to the kitchen, dining room and outdoor seating area, which overlooks the central courtyard. Within the grounds there is a pool (6.4x13m) with views over the valley and a small gym next to "Bocce " playground
