Ancient two-story stone farmhouse elegantly restored in a six-bedroom villa with swimming pool, for sale in the countryside just outside Cortona, Arezzo. In the heart of the Valdichiana, on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, twenty minutes from Lake Trasimeno or Montepulciano, on a secluded low-ground with open views, easily reached by a short stretch of gravel road, lies Casale La Bellezza, so named for the authenticity and elegance of its materials. Built in stone at the beginning of the 19th century, it was magnificently renovated in 2010, creating a charming and homely atmosphere, full of charm and historical features found in the stone fireplace in the living room and in the rustic fireplace in the kitchen, the high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, the stone walls and the terracotta floors. All windows and doors have all been completely replaced with double glazed blending perfectly with the traditional sage green colour of all wooden shutters. The ground floor houses three en-suite bedrooms, while the first floor, reached by a stone staircase, contains a master bedroom with a bathroom and access to a terrace, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The garden has been landscaped with lawn, flower beds, olive trees, pines and tall trees, and boasts a swimming pool with a Roman-style staircase. Today, Casale La Bellezza is chosen by travellers from all over the world for their holidays, a spectacular place to relax and regenerate, but also perfect as a private residence to live with family and friends.
