IL POZZO TONDO
Holiday House
' a small House with a big Style'
in CORTONA-IL POGGIO
Holiday House : Il Pozzo Tondo
Sleeps up to 4 people
Description:
'House at the round well'. And believe us, you won't be able to miss the well because it sits bang in the middle of one of the prettiest and quietest little piazzas in Cortona. And yet, we are only a five minute walk from the centre of Cortona where you will find a wealth of restaurants, bars and shops. In fact, if you fancy fresh bread and pastries for breakfast, the town bakery is at the foot of our hill!
We're located on a steep hill - only a handful of streets in Cortona sit on level ground - leading up to the Church of Santa Margherita with wonderful views over the Val di Chiana and a real feeling of being on the edge of the countryside. In just 10 minutes, you can walk to the ancient Etruscan walls, and the mountain gate, Porta Montanina, where the views of the hills and the valley below are simply breathtaking. From there it's a casual 10 minutes stroll - on flat ground! - to the hamlet of Torreone, made famous by Francis Mayes in Under the Tuscan Sun as the location of the real Bramasole.
Casa Pozzo Tondo has been recently restored in a manner sympathic to the traditions and heritage of the town. It is a cosy, beautiful, authentic Italian town house with period features including beamed ceilings, cotto floors and an open decorative fireplace. Let us take you on a whirlwind tour of the property .
Description:
Ground Floor:
On the ground floor, there is a good sized salotto and dining room, with open decorative fireplace. The room contains a sofa and two armchairs and a dining table large enough to seat six.
Alongside, you'll find a traditional Italian kitchen, equipped with a small fridge and freezer, electric oven and gas/electric hob, microwave. In the cupboards you'll find all the cooking pots and pans you need to make the perfect plate of pasta or a hot tuscan cassarole. On the same level there is a good-sized bathroom, with shower, bidet, wc and vanity unit.
Top Floor
Up a beautiful old stone staircase to the top floor takes you to two spacious double bedrooms, each constructed with beamed ceilings, warm wooden floors and traditionally furnished with locally hand-crafted 'ferro battuto' (wrought iron) king-sized beds and antique furnishings.
The master bedroom has a small balcony overlooking the rooftops of Cortona and the valley below and is a great place to sit and watch the sunset, nursing a glass of wine!
he smaller of the two rooms, contains a large built in wardrobe and antique settimino and bedside cabinets.
