Calcina
Enjoying a hill top position very close to the beautiful walled city of Sansepolcro, birthplace of Piero della Francesca, Calcina nestles in the lovely lower foothills of the Alpe Della Luna (mountains of the moon) region, and is set in 20 acres of grounds with gardens orchard olives vines and woodlands.
The property offers 360 degree views to Umbria beyond and Tuscany below. It is a quiet and tranquil country setting ideal for children and a family holiday yet conveniently close to the many cultural artistic and culinary delights which attract visitors to Italy. Available for year-round rental, this is an ideal base from which to explore many of Tuscany and Umbria's prime tourist sites, or to simply bask by the pool in the Italian sunshine and admire the lovely countryside.Outside (and facing down the valley) is a large and sunny terrace stretching the full width of the house and including a pergola ideal for al fresco dining.
The farmhouse was built some 200 years ago adjacent to the site of a shrine to San Cerbone which dates back to the 12th century, and which was visited by Saint Francis of Assisi on the pilgrimage to Rome.
To the rear of the house is a large barn (presently unrestored and used only for storage) and a small private (deconsecrated) church with naive mural painted walls. Behind the barn lies a large swimming pool with roman steps and a wide paved surround furnished with loungers and chairs. There is a delightful view over the Tuscan countryside to one side and an uninterrupted view towards Umbria on the other. The house has been fully restored over the last 5 years but retains many original features including age polished pianelli floors, a working stone fireplace, chestnut beamed ceilings, double aspected rooms with high ceilings and long views, extensive terraces to catch the sun all day long, a working walk-in bread and pizza oven, garage and a range of outbuildings including a small deconsecrated private church with altar, pews and seating for 12 people.
