Bosco dei Tartufi, nr Cortona

Surrounded by 62 hectares of its own land, there is a glorious walk through the woodland to one of the most spectacular views in Tuscany overlooking Lake Trasimeno.

The swimming pool, sculpted into the grounds and set in to the side of the hill, is designed in a way whereby the edge simply “disappears”, into a spectacular backdrop providing the ultimate panorama.

Its interior designer owner, with both inside and alfresco living in mind has exquisitely and sensitively restored the house. Whilst remaining sympathetic to its natural environment, it is a house imbued with a sophisticated yet “comfortable” ambience, and furnished throughout with beautiful, inviting sofas and armchairs, antiques, artefacts, all softened with warm rugs and cushions.

The sitting room is smart and spacious, the study with fireplace intimate and cosy, bedrooms spoiling and comfortable, bathrooms characterised by their magnificent free standing old -fashioned bathtubs, two large walk-in showers and spectacular tuscan stone sinks. The spacious kitchen/dining room acts as the social hub of the house; a well equipped and attractive living space which leads onto a covered terrace with a dining table set in a position to enjoy long, lazy evenings whilst enjoying the spectacular views of the hills.

With its two independent cottages within metres from the main house, it is perfect accommodation for family gatherings, or an adult group (most comfortable for a maximum of four couples) who may appreciate the opportunity for their own space.

A highly recommended property and early bookings advisable.
