| Close to Cortona, the setting for the book ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’ by Frances Mayes, Casale del Pino is located amongst beautifully maintained gardens with maritime pines, cypress trees and very extensive lawns.
The property is decorated and furnished to the very highest standards in a contemporary country style, whilst retaining a wonderful Tuscan atmosphere. On the ground floor level the sitting room with fireplace and French windows opens to the lawned gardens. There is also a large and stylish kitchen with dining area, equipped to the very highest standards, with dark granite work surfaces and high quality kitchen appliances.
There are four bedrooms with en suite bathrooms on the first floor, furnished with wooden or wrought iron beds, pretty covers and with panoramic views out over the gardens. The spacious master double bedroom has triple aspect views and outside steps down to the garden.
Approximately 20m from the main farmhouse, is a separate self-contained single storey farmhouse. Accommodation has been furnished to the same extremely high specifications and comprises two double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms sharing two shower rooms, a kitchen, sitting room and dining room. The guesthouse offers comfortable accommodation in its own right and is ideal for two additional families, with other party members in the main house.
The extensive lawned gardens lead gently to the large swimming pool set into a wide terracotta terrace and with smart wooden sunbeds and a changing room.
From the house and the pool area there are glorious uninterrupted views of the rolling hills, cornfields, cypress trees and woodland of this most attractive part of southern Tuscany.
