A large Umbria villa with
big pool and tennis court, the house is for eight people maximum.
Casa Riozzo is a bigger house and has more extensive garden than many
places that take more people. This is because the place was designed
as a family home by the owners.
It's just 2 km up the hillside of the Niccone valley on the Tuscany
Umbria border, off a paved road.
Driving
into the property, the house and parking area are ahead with the pool
above to the right and to the left, locked gates to the house, a lawned
area leading down to the tennis court, and other garden areas shaded
by trees.
The main door leads into a well furnished sitting room (sofa, chairs,
table, satellite TV, CD and DVD player). A games room with pool table is off to the right;
to the left is a bathroom and modern kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher,
electric oven, gas hobs, fridge and freezer.
Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom.
On the upper floor, a double bedroom with
en suite bathroom, and two spacious bedrooms with two single beds in
each. There is also a cloakroom with WC and basin and a study with sofa.
At the end of the upper hallway is a picture window and a stair that
leads directly to the garden terrace.
The pool complex is separately fenced,
hedged and gated, with open railings at one end to enjoy the extravagant
view from a raised terrace. At one end is an outdoor covered suite with
ample furniture that is attached to a fully fitted kitchen (including
dishwasher, microwave, fridge etc) and a luxury bathroom with jacuzzi
shower and WC.
The pool is fourteen metres by five metres (46ft by 17ft)
with roman steps at the shallow end and conventional pool steps at the
deep end. There is a motorised summer cover to keep the water warm over night.
The tennis court is in an adjoining part of the garden and has high fencing and flood lighting. Casa Riozzo is within easy reach of Cortona, Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio,
Castiglione del Lago, Orvieto, Todi, Montepulciano and Arezzo. Siena
is forty minutes and Florence takes 80 minites by car or train;
The near locality has a lot to offer. As well as the stunning scenery,
dotted with medieval towns, there are restaurants, villages, markets
and shops nearby.
