Description:
A farmhouse
on the Tuscany border. Podere Macchione is an exceptionally fine example of Umbria
farmhouse architecture at its most enchanting. It is set in the pretty, peaceful
countryside which lies between Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, and the Renaissance cities
of Cortona and Montepulciano in Tuscany. Podere Macchione has been restored with
the most loving respect for its ancient character. The soft pink brick is typical
of this area, where bricks were baked and worked with great artistry into the
beautiful houses and churches nearby. A lovely arched loggia is the outstanding
future of this rambling house. The house is now divided into four very attractive
apartments with all the graceful old features carefully preserved. Modern kitchen
units of four ring hob and fridge are set in charming tiles and there are good
quality showers and heating. The house stands on its own above the small lake
of Montepulciano and there are superb views of the city, particularly at sunset.
The nearest village is 3 miles (less than a mile of which is on not asphalted
road) and at Lake Trasimeno, approx. 8 miles away, is the resort of Castiglione
with its sandy lake beach. Montepulciano is about 18 miles away and Cortona, Siena
and Florence are easily accessible.
Each apartment has 4+1 places organized
in two rooms and has a large kitchen living room and the bathroom.
