Calcina, Italy, is a handsome and well appointed ‘casa padronale’ farmhouse offering spacious accommodation, with its own private swimming pool and charming little church with naive painted murals.
Main villa/farmhouse with infinity pool below.
It sleeps 10 guests in 5 generously sized double bedrooms, has 4 bathrooms, 3 ensuite, satellite tv and video and offers sweeping views from three sides of the house and terraces.
Enjoying a hill top position very close to the beautiful walled city of Sansepolcro, birthplace of Piero de la Francesca, Calcina nestles in the lovely lower foothills of the Alpe Della Luna (mountains of the moon) region, and is set in 20 acres of grounds with gardens orchard olives vines and woodlands. The property offers 360 degree views to Umbria beyond and Tuscany below. It is a quiet and tranquil country setting ideal for children and a family holiday yet conveniently close to the many cultural artistic and culinary delights which attract visitors to Italy.
The Barn conversion which is available for rent along with the main house, but not separately, sleeps seven people in four bedrooms with 4 bathrooms. It has spectacular views and its own separate swimming pool and entrance drive for independence and privacy. Further details are available on application.
Available for year-round rental, this is an ideal base from which to explore many of Tuscany and Umbria’s prime tourist sites, or to simply bask by the pool in the Italian sunshine and admire the lovely countryside.
