About this property
Beautifully restored farmhouse, big pool & terrace, amazing views
This 120 year old farmhouse has been restored to a very high standard, with many original features, including terracotta tile floors and wooden beamed ceilings, plus modern bathrooms and kitchen. Set in 0.8 hectares (2 acres) of olive groves, fig and cherry trees, the house is spread over 3 floors, with 4-5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1-2 living rooms and kitchen/dining room. The ground floor gives access to a shady pergola with tables and seating for 14 people, and leads to a large sun terrace surrounding a 12x6 metre (c. 40x20 feet) swimming pool. Covivoli has magnificent, uninterrupted views across the Tuscan hills towards Caprese Michelangelo, the birthplace of the famous sculptor, painter, architect and poet.
Covivoli makes a perfect country retreat from which to go off and explore, or just spend the day at the villa taking it easy. The house, pool and terraces are exclusively for the use of our guests and provide a peaceful and private setting. Choose from sightseeing, a trip to one of the many local markets or a night out at any of the numerous superb local restaurants, or simply relax on the terrace, soaking up the views, the sun and a bottle of the local wine. We also offer additional services, including shopping, dinner, wine tasting, etc (see below for more details).
Location
The house is located in eastern Tuscany, near the border with Umbria, and close to the beautiful, historic towns of Caprese Michelangelo, Anghiari and Sansepolcro. Within easy reach are other famous towns and cities, such as Perugia, Arezzo and Cortona, and (a little further but still accessible in a day trip) Assisi, Montepulciano, Florence and Sienna.
