A drive through the valley and up along a quaint road will lead you to Podere Giogo. The panoramic view creates an immediate setting for this lovely 18th century stone built farmhouse. Restoration was completed in 2008 by its' current owners and the home has undergone an incredible conservation.
The main home of 200 sqm sits on two floors. The ground floor, traditionally the stable area of the home, is now a functional and integral part of the daily living space. Here one will find a cozy sitting room complete with stone fireplace and small kitchen/bar area, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms (one with fireplace) and a formal dining room.
Up a flight of stairs to the first floor is the night quarters of the home. Guest bedroom/office, bathroom and master bedroom with fireplace, dressing area and terrace with fabulous views of the valley.
The home is complete of all utilities such as well for water, gas for heating, electrics, telephone, excellent highspeed internet connection and garden irrigation. Special features such as stone fireplaces, exposed beam work and handmade terracotta tiles adorn the home and complete the true Tuscan feel of the property.
Adjacent to the main house are two annexes. The guest cottage of 40 sqm is ideal for friends and family and holds a small kitchen, sitting area, bathroom and bedroom all in a nice open plan layout. The garage/studio is of 50 sqm and has a bathroom, laundry area, custom built stone fireplace and a central heating system.
The outside space of this home is equally as special. The buildings sit on about 5000 sqm of land and includes 50 olive trees and the immediate garden. Well manicured and elegant, the stone garden walls and mediterranean plants create a wonderful overall ambience. There is also an 8x4m mosaic tiled swimming pool that enjoys fabulous views all around.
The medieval city of Cortona is about 10 minutes away by car or a 35 minute walk along an old Roman road. Here one will find various shops, great restaurants and cafes... not to mention history culture and a true sense of Italian life. The local village of Pergo is about 5 minutes from the home for food markets, a coffee bar and local pizzeria.
