From the outside the picturesque cottage made of Città della Pieve’s famed red brick retains its ancient appeal. But the spacious interior, completely renovated in 2022 offers a luxury, open plan format making it the perfect place for family or friends to gather, or for a couples romantic getaway.

Set over one floor with a full, dine-in chefs kitchen, spacious lounge with its Scan, egg shaped wood burner, comfortable bedrooms and gas-fired central heating also make the cottage  appealing during the cooler months. Whilst from June through September you can fully appreciate the outdoors in the large, beautifully landscaped garden, enjoy the BBQ and dine al-fresco at the large, Travertine table. Or to cool-off drench under the outdoor solar shower, take a refreshing dip in the 4x2m above ground saltwater pool and recline on sun-beds on your own private ‘Pebble beach’. 

Another comfort is the modern bathroom with powerful rain shower, and queen and twin bedrooms with integrated phone charging stations, chestnut blackout shutters, plenty of closet space and high quality Egyptian linens.

While throughout the south-facing cottage large, dual aspect windows flood the rooms with light and offer uninterrupted views of the spectacular countryside bringing to mind the famed landscapes of renaissance Italian artists. 

A unique feature of the cottage is its large,  landscaped garden which offers various comfortable seating areas in sunny and shaded outlooks where you can while away the hours in comfort. Or year-round enjoy a BBQ on the infinity terrace using the Weber system to dine al-fresco.

Also of note is the elevated terrace garden with birchwood swing seat. The perfect place for either an aperitivo at sunset, or at sunrise for meditative yoga or pilates to the sound of birdsong as the valley awakes.

And at 508 metres above sea level here you can enjoy long, hot summer days, blissfully cool evenings and a year round temperate climate.
