Holiday Home/Apartment - 8 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. Casa Tettoia is the largest of the houses at Borgo Il Poeta and is really very special. It has a very grand entrance hall, which leads in to a double living area, with armchairs and sofas at one end and a piano at the other, beyond which are French doors leading out onto the courtyard. The dining room, which can accommodate up to ten, the large kitchen and a bedroom with en suite bathroom, which can be made up as either a twin or a double, all lead off from the sitting room. All these rooms have direct access to the terrace which runs along the front of the house and which has a long wooden table for al fresco dining. Stairs from the sitting room take you to a twin and double bedroom, both en suite, and the final double bedroom en suite bathroom is on the second floor, facing the front of the property and enjoying the view over the Tiber Valley. Within the grounds there is a pool (6.4x13m) with views over the valley and a small gym next to "Bocce " playground
