Beautifully restored villa with private pool

A well-loved 16thC farmhouse situated in the midst of olives and oak trees, the house has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sitting room and kitchen/dinning, giving onto a large terrace and well cured garden with a private pool. 10 minutes from the famous Cortona with its summer festivals, concerts and excellent restaurants, it's perfect for family/friends to enjoy peace and quiet, while not far from the many spectacular medieval towns in the area. Supermarket, bar/cafe, trains are all easily accessed. The space Comfortable, yet rustic, the house is first and foremost a home, restored with careful attention to respect architectural tradition with original wooden beams and terra-cotta tiled floors. The 3-storey building is divided. We rent the two upper floors consisting of a large and comfortable sitting room, with its open traditional fireplace, scores of books, TV/DVD player and numerous films, WIFI, an open plan kitchen/ dinning room, 3 bedrooms (1 king with ensuite bathroom, 1 double and 1 twin), along with an additional bathroom (both bathrooms renovated in 2020). The house opens out onto a large shaded terrace with garden chairs and a dinning table for 6, and an extensive lawn with the swimming pool equipped with lounging chairs and can be lit at night. A long wooden picnic table is carefully situated under a pine tree ensuring shade during the day, and for warm evenings, subtly lit-up for al-fresco dining. A barbeque is available. Over the years the house has been equipped as per guest’s requests: BBQ, dishwashers, microwave, toaster, ice cream maker, kitchen appliances, ceiling/floor fans in bedrooms, television sets with dvd players. The house comes with linen, bath and swimming towels. A weekly clean is included for those staying more than one week, while additional cleaning and cooking can be arranged (at extra cost). A baby cot, child’s bed and high chair are available. The pool (8x4 m / roughly 26x13 ft) has a variety of lounging chairs, and is purposely placed to enjoy maximum sunshine. It has a specially designed etched out corner (2x2 m /roughly 6x6 ft), with wide steps for readers and paddlers, and can be lit at night. 
Pets are welcomed and dogs can be kept close and happy in the fenced and shady lower garden. Charcoal/ firewood for cooking/ heating is available, pool toys, dvds and books and any reasonable request may be placed in advance. Both the pool and gardens are discreetly looked after, ensuring peace at all times. Accessibility
