Description
Encircled by wooded hillsides and drifts of wild flowers, this welcoming house sits privately amid its extensive and beautifully kept lawned gardens; the stone-built villa taking its name from the traditional Tuscan tower rising out of the roof, while its modern eco credentials include geothermic energy for heating the house, the water. Within the house, big rugs, bold artworks, beamed ceilings and an eclectic mix of modern and antique furnishings add colour and character to generously sized rooms; and a holiday tempo is enhanced by inclusive cook service for lunch or dinner. On the ground floor, a bright breakfast kitchen is joined by a stylish dining room and comfy sitting room with an open fireplace. Four first floor bedrooms are styled with country simplicity, each with air conditioning and en suite bathroom. And, nestling under the roof rafters, a quiet study occupies the tower. The focal point of the grounds is the large and lovely pool, overlooked by its excellent pool-house with shower room, kitchen, barbecue and covered dining terrace. And this pocket of peace is just 1.5km from medieval Lucignano with ample choice of shops and restaurants. Other towns and villages are within comfortable driving distance, and water sports on Lake Trasimeno are within 45km.
