Le Sette Vene
Le Sette Vene is a traditional farmhouse, typical of the Tuscany/Umbria border area and recently restored. It is an ideal place either for a large group, having 7 bedrooms in all, or it can be rented as 3 separate apartments. The former first floor living space is divided into two sections, to give two good sized houses on the top floor and a ground floor apartment. It can be opened up to give a seven, five or four bedroom house as required. There is a fine 10x5m swimming pool.
The location is perfect.
It's not far from the road that goes between Tuoro (on the edge
of Lake Trasimeno) and Mercatale di Cortona (about two kilometres
from Mercatale). It's
hidden from the road and quite private with magnificent views looking
down on the Pierle and Niccone valleys (two castles in view) and
backed by hills and distant mountains to the East. It is set in
meadows, olive groves and woods which can be used by the guests.
The external terraces of the two houses are on opposite sides of
the long building giving total privacy and the ground floor apartment
has a small private area and garden at the back of the house.
Casa Barbara:
Tiled and stone stairs lead to a large walled loggia with terracotta
floor where there is garden style furniture and umbrella. The front
door leads to what was the main room of the old farmhouse with original
fireplace (wood provided
in season). There is a kitchen area and a large dining table etc.
It also has a TV. There are two double bedrooms and one twin bedded
room. The bathroom has a bath with shower facility. Water and central
heating are by gas. There is ample wardrobe space and drawers.
Casa Piero:
has a massive walled loggia with outdoor furnishings. Through the
front door is a kitchen/dining room,
with fireplace. It has a double bedroom and a twin bedded room.
The bathroom has a bath and a shower cubicle. Water heating is electric
and central heating by gas.
Casa Manuel: is on the ground floor below Casa Piero. It has a good size kitchen/diner, bathroom and two bedrooms one of which has French windows to a small, private garden (view of the castle of Pierle). It is suitable for handicapped use.
Le Sette Vene is within reach of all the famous Umbrian towns: Assisi, Perugia, Castiglione del Lago (Lake Trasimeno), Orvieto and Todi. In Tuscany Cortona is near and easy drives to Siena and Arezzo. Florenceis about ninety minutes by car or train and even Rome can be a day trip. However, the near locality has a lot to offer. As well as the stunning scenery dotted with medieval towns and castles, there is horse riding, tennis, cycling and on the lake ferry trips to islands, swimming and sailing.
