Welcome
to Locanda Delle Rose
When we first saw this typical 1700's farmhouse on the Tuscan - Umbrian border in "The green heart of Italy" we fell in love, even though it was a "sleeping beauty" waiting for a prince, we knew we had found our new home. Lying in about 6 acres of private grounds with views of Mount Cetona, Citta Della Pieve and the valley below unfolding into a magnificent panorama covering the countryside of Tuscany and Umbria that is said, by the locals, to be the best views in the area. The renovations brought our home tastefully back to life whilst keeping the original character intact, where possible, adding a large swimming pool and modern comforts. The entire 200 sq. metre upper floor is now a self-catering apartment for sleeping up to twelve guests. Today your family and friends can enjoy a relaxing holiday, with outstanding views, in tranquil surroundings that are perfect for walking, cycling, horse riding or exploring the nearby medieval hill towns with art treasures of a bygone era. Imagine a day sampling the wine and olive trails and tasting the local products, or participating in festivals and enjoying a concert, or shopping at designer outlets and then returning to the swimming pool, refreshing yourself before your alfresco evening meal under the pergola or experiencing one of the many local family run restaurants, just minutes away. If you should need advice or help during your stay your ex-pat hosts are close by to make your holiday a wonderful experience. Click to see more pictures
