 Fontanaro is a two story stone farmhouse, with two luxury separate cottages. Located in Umbria, "the green heart of Italy" the border of Tuscany, it is set in 40 acres of olive trees and vineyards. The view is one of rolling green hills facing fantastic sunsets or sunrises. The farm house, built in 1893, is beautifully restored with modern comforts. It is surrounded by a large grass lawn with lemon tree pots and a wide collection of old and english roses. There is a bread oven, barbecue and a large private swimming pool (14x6m) |
 The two cosy cottages are adjacent to the main house. Both cottages have their own private patio and garden. Each cottage, approximately 60 sq mt, has a large living room with satellite TV, a kitchen corner and fireplace, plus a large bedroom with king-size bed and a comfortable, modern bathroom with shower. A library of english language books is provided in each cottage. You can browse the selection of art books, guides, maps, brochures and tourist information about the wonderful places to visit in the area. |
 The estate is located 1 km from the walled city of Paciano, a perfectly restored 13th century medieval village in a peaceful, unpolluted and scenic location. There is a view of Lake Trasimeno and the lights of Chiusi and Cortona in the distance. The town is constructed on the peak of a hill 400m above sea level. In 1992, the European Community named Paciano "un villaggio ideale". Thus, it is known as one of the top ten villages in Italy for its idyllic setting and quality of life. There are two restaurants, a coffee bar, three old churches within the walls of the town. |
