Tuscia

This charming 2-storey, stone built property is situated on the border of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio, between San Casciano dei Bagni and Trevinano. It is nestled in a garden of approximately half a hectare and offers breathtaking views of the countryside and the Monte Rufeno nature reserve and Monte Amiata.

The porch, located off the living area, provides the perfect vantage point to admire the picturesque town of Trevinano as it is bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun in the evening.

The main house (approx. 400 sq.m.) has been divided into two units. The ground floor has been beautifully renovated, featuring underfloor heating beneath the terracotta tiles, a bespoke kitchen and double glazed windows. The first floor, which is accessed via a typical, external staircase has double glazed windows in place, but the rooms have been left unfinished, allowing you to personalize it according to your preferences.

The house has an integrated heating and hot water system which can be run off either a pellet stove, or a wood-burning thermal stove or the double solar panels. In the summer the solar panels supply ample hot water for the house. It has internet via Wireless ADSL which is very reliable.
