A charming farmhouse sitting on top of the world!
"A charming farmhouse sitting on top of the world!” - Reviewed by Lisa
Views, views and more relaxing countryside views! This comfortable country home can be found sitting on the top of a lush green hill. It’s at the highest point on the Tenuta di Murlo estate and the furthest away from the main road… this is as close to rural heaven as you’ll get! Peace, solitude, miles of countryside hikes and never-ending vistas of healthy, undulating green hills and valleys all surround you.
Although it looks old, the home was completely renovated, restored and reconstructed in 2013. It has an Old World farmhouse feel but functions with modern efficiency. With thick-beamed ceilings and bleached wood doors and cabinetry, it has a distinct air of rustic luxury. The interiors are all comfortable rustic chic with overstuffed sofas, a big wooden farmhouse dining table and warm and welcoming fabrics in natural linens and cottons.
A truly perfect location for spending hours in the large pool, listening to the birdsong, marveling at the vistas, sitting with a book or enjoying the company of good friends or family.
