Casa Refogliano

Only the view will let you stay outside all day! This house is a lovely place for families, especially with children.

This truly beautifully located country villa, located in the unspoilt Umbrian hills was finished in April 2016, under Project Management of SpecialUmbria. The fully local stone exposed country house (8-10 sleeps) and large private swimming pool (6 x 12 meters) are located in the middle of a green area consisting of garden and old olive grove. The property is entirely privately positioned and has a spacious living room which opens to a high quality kitchen made by local carpenter with large stove and modern appliances, four bedrooms of which one has a unique hand made bunk bed for 4 children/young adults and three bathrooms. A large porch enjoys spectacular views towards the town of, Montepulciano, Citta della Pieve and even more important Lake Trasimeno with the Tuscan mountains in the back. Really special is the traditional Pizza oven with BBQ just next to the house.

The style of the house can be described as a good mix between the classic Umbrian building style and modern elements, which gives the house a real modern design feeling. The Dutch owners love Dutch design, which means that there are some nice items by designers like Marcel Wanders and Piet Hein Eek, but also the unique woodburner by Weltevree is a real statement in the living area.

Casa Refogliano is featured in Ville & Casali, May 2017. It is also featured in Alexandra Korey's Life, Art and Travel Blog ARTTRAV.

Casa Refogliano is under Exclusive SpecialUmbria Property Management.

Outside

The house is positioned in an old olive grove, which means that the garden will be mainly natural green with olive trees all around you. There is grass to play on for the children and some nice flower beds with lavender, rosemary and other local scrubs. The pool is 6 x 12 meters (120-150cm deep) and will be positioned just below the terrace. There is a pizza oven and a stone bbq near the front porch of the house, where the dining table is overlooking the valley.

Notes

The house has one direct neighbour, which is a similar villa, which has been built 3 years ago and which is not rented. This property won't disturb your privacy. You will be near a not frequently used asphalted road, which leads you to the towns of Tavernelle or Piegaro.
