Casa Cantagallina, Tuscany (sleeps 12)
Casa Cantagallina is a large farmhouse, dating back to the 18th Century, situated in small hamlet located between Chiusi and Lake Trasimeno.
It is a beautiful Villa, built on three floors and restored by the current owners to be a spacious and comfortable family home. They have used all original materials and therefore preserved the character of the property while also introducing many modern luxuries including a large contemporary kitchen.
Each floor has been designed to be self sufficient and the owners added large living areas to each floor. This makes the villa the perfect property for large groups of friends or families, ensuring everyone has their own space.
Each floor can be closed off and so if required the property can be rented by a smaller group.
There are stunning views from all parts of the property, looking over Lake Trasimeno and down to the surrounding valleys.
Location
The property is perfectly located to explore the numerous atttractions of the area. Lake Trasimeno and the beautiful hill top town of Castiglione del Lago is only 15 minutes drive and from there you can explore the ancient castles, relax on the beach or enjoy a variety of watersports.
There is a small village only 2.5kms drive from the house where there are a number of small shops and there are a variety of good restaurants within 15 minutes drive.
There are many wonderful walking tracks directly from the Villa and on request information about these can be provided.
