A four bedroom house that sleeps 8. Peschino (Little Peach Tree) sits on
the lower slopes of a quiet, wooded farming valley that is part Tuscany,
part Umbria. It is approached by a kilometre of farm track through
fields of sunflowers, tobacco, trees and wild flowers. Just 3 kilometres
away is the border with Umbria where the old custom house still
stands. The house is completely private and not over-looked.
The house is entered from the drive into the ground floor where at the
front of the house is the kitchen, immediately to the left. The wellequipped
and roomy kitchen has a 5 ring gas hob, electric oven, fridge
freezer, dishwasher, microwave and bread-maker, plenty of cupboard
space and work tops. |

A doorway leads to a dining room extending over the width of the
house and with French windows at the front and back. The large
dining table can accommodate 12 people. A doorway at the far side of
the dining room leads to the utility area with washer-dryer and a WC.
At the back of the kitchen is a comfortable sitting room with sofas and
armchairs, TV and French windows to the back garden. |
