This is a superb house, just renovated by American owners to a very high standard. It stands in a very large garden but as it is at the end of a road it has unbroken countryside surrounding it. The views are of the gentle hills typical of the foothills of the Appenines. |

| It is well north of our core area being only fifteen minutes east of Arezzo from where there are trains to Florence (30 minutes). The tiny villages near I Bassi don't have many facilities but as it is only ten minutes to the outskirts of Arezzo this is not much of a problem. Also, there is a good restaurant in the nearest village just five minutes from the house. Arezzo has a large commercial area but at its centre is the ancient town built on a steep hillside. Its streets and most buildings date from and before the "quattro centro", the period we call the Renaissance. Its famous works of art include the staggering frescoes of Piero della Francesca in the church of San Francesco made more widely known in the film "The English Patient". The early scenes of "Life is Beautiful" were filmed mainly in Arezzo. |
| The kitchen is more than complete with a large, range cooker - 4 hobs, gas oven and electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker - all built-in - with a freezer in another area. Off the kitchen is a dining room with original stone fireplace and sitting area. One entrance to the house has been cleverly designed to incorporate the original bread/pizza oven. This area also has a washing machine. In the living room are an iPod connection and large screen TV (no reception) with DVD player. |
