Description from the manager

Two Bedroom Ground Floor Apartment Cortona

Bacchus is a pretty apartment on the ground floor of a beautiful stone house on the L?Etrusca estate, situated in the valley below the famous town of Cortona. The house is surrounded by immaculately kept gardens where there are tables and chairs for dining al fresco and there is a lovely swimming pool. Surrounded by olive groves, the pool is the ideal spot for relaxing whilst soaking up the atmosphere.

The L?Etrusca estate consists of 2 beautiful stone houses which have been lovingly restored and now form 4 spacious apartments. The houses are set around a beautiful garden with lawns an...d filled with flowers, where each apartment has an area with table and chairs for dining al fresco and nestled next to the olive grove in a secluded position is a pretty swimming pool (14m x 7m).

Apartment Bacchus is situated on the ground floor of the main farmhouse, it is comfortably furnished in typical Tuscan style and has beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The living room has a sitting area with settee (which converts to a double bed on request to accommodate an extra 2 persons), a fully equipped kitchen area, and there is a dining table and chairs. There are two lovely bedrooms and a shower room and the thoughtful owner has added the modern comforts of dishwasher, washing machine and satellite television to the apartment.

Its location is perfect for visiting the famous region of Southern Tuscany. Beautiful Cortona with its interesting Etruscan origins is only 5km away and a joy to explore, whilst the towns of Montepulciano, renowned for its excellent wine, and Pienza, for its pecorino cheese are both close by. In addition, Arezzo, infamous for its Piero della Francesca frescoes in its cathedral and Siena with its shell shaped Piazza del Campo square are both less than an hours? drive.

The treasures of the region of Umbria with its famous hill towns of Perugia and Assisi to name but a few are also within easy driving distance. Lake Trasimeno is also very close and an interesting place to visit, it has beaches, sailing facilities, and ferry services to its islands, one of which is a natural park with lovely walks and the other ?Isola Maggiore? which is famous for the local women who crochet lace on the streets, an art said to be of Irish origin. The main motorway link is only 10km away, making also Rome and Florence easily accessible.

Parking is in the grounds of the estate.
