Le Sette Vene is a traditional farmhouse, typical of the Tuscany / Umbria border area and recently restored. It is an ideal place either for a large group, having 7 double bedrooms in all, or it can be rented as 3 separate places. The former first floor living space is divided into two sections, to give two good sized houses on the top floor and a ground floor apartment. It can be opened up to give a seven, five or four bedroom villa as required, all of a good agritourism standard and providing a superb but cheap Tuscany Villa. There is a fine 12x6m swimming pool.
The location is perfect. It's not far from the road that goes between Tuoro (on the edge of Lake Trasimeno) and Mercatale di Cortona (about two kilometres from Mercatale). It's hidden from the road and private with magnificent views looking down on the Pierle and Niccone valleys (two castles in view) and backed by hills and distant mountains to the East. It is set in meadows, olive groves and woods. The external terraces of the two upper houses are on opposite sides of the long building giving total privacy and the ground floor apartment has a small private area and garden at the back of the house.
Casa Barbara: Tiled and stone stairs lead to a large walled loggia with terracotta floor where there is garden style furniture and umbrella.

Le Sette Vene villa: internal doors can be opened to give a large seven bedroom villa. An extra bed can be accommodated in the bedroom with single beds on the ground floor (Casa Manuel) to space for a maximum of 15 guests.
