About this property
Tuscany as it once was
It is the old home of our family! The apartment in question is located on the ground floor of a traditional farmhouse. It consists of two double bedrooms, living room with sofas, one of which is a sofa bed, fireplace, kitchenette and two bathrooms. From the kitchen you can access the veranda where in summer you can eat in the shade and access the garden.
Free WiFi and parking.
The structure has been recently renovated preserving the original characteristic features. With stone walls with large exposed sections, terracotta ceilings with chestnut beams, Tuscan terracotta floors, ancient doors with bolts and old locks, the house has been reborn without losing its essence.
An authentic corner of Tuscany in the heart of the Valdichiana.
A tour around:
From the village of Fratticciola you can easily reach the city of Cortona with all its artistic beauties and its places of spirituality such as the wonderful hermitage of the Celle. Other art cities and medieval villages such as Arezzo, Montepulciano, Siena, Assisi and many others are also easily accessible.
In the surroundings of the village, lovers of movement will find cycle and pedestrian paths such as the Path of Reclamation which extends along the bank of the Esse torrent through the Cortona countryside.
Riding stables for horseback riding, ponds for sport fishing, cellars where you can taste wines and typical Tuscan products, tennis courts and more.
