Traditional country residence divided into 2 charming and beautiful apartments, each sleeping 6 people
Citta' di Castello, Umbria, Italy
General description:
Casale Il Palazzo is a traditional 17th century 'casa padronale', beautifully restored retaining all the original features and using the authentic materials. The atmosphere of the old Umbrian stone farmhouses is still alive and part of the antique furniture and decoration belongs to the owners family.
Its dominant hillside position on 500 m. above sea level overlooking the Tiber valley is absolutely fantastic and with its setting in the middle of a preserved area of natural beauty with olive groves, woodlands, vineyards and rolling fields an ideal location for a memorable holiday.
Il Palazzo: a perfect spot to get away from it all, whereas its location on a distance of only 10 min. from Citta' di Castello and the E45 makes it an excellent base for exploring Umbria, the green hart of Italy. Also Tuscany, The Marche and the beaches of the Adriatic coast are within easy reach.
The landscaped garden that surrounds the house with its lawns, terraces, flowers and old trees is a paradise of peace and invites to relax in it, to enjoy the sunsets and in the evening the star filled sky .
There is a beautiful swimming pool (12 x 6m) with comfortable sun beds and next to the pool a pool house with a dressing/shower/bathroom and a laundry room with washing machine. The swimming pool area includes also a whirlpool, a spacious patio with garden furniture and another large uncovered terrace, all offering stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
