Teverina BassaIl Palazzo Il Palazzo was originally the main olive mill in the village of Lisciano Niccone in the Tuscany/Umbria border region. Today there are 3 charming apartments and a restaurant in the cantina of the main building and 2 further apartments in a converted barn. The three story building can be approached from two directions. In the 1st picture, the drive brings you to the ground floor which is a small restaurant serving Sardinian cuisine. The cook is the owner of Il Palazzo. The balcony with flowers on the first floor is private to apartment 3. Approaching from the other side of the building, up a steep drive, you arrive at a courtyard with the owners' house on the right. Apartments 1 and 2 are on the left with separate outdoor furniture and this is the top floor of Il Palazzo. The 10m pool is on this level in another part of the property. Apartments 1 and 2 have a large dining/living room with a kitchen corner; a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower. There is a sofa bed in the main room. Apartment 2 also has a child's bed in the bedroom and a washing machine in the kitchen. Both apartments have a table and parasol in the peaceful courtyard. (For apartment 1, laundry can be given to the owner.) Apartment 3 has a living/dining room, kitchen with washing machine; L-shaped double bedroom with additional bunk beds; a double bedroom with cot and child's bed; a bathroom with tub and shower, another cloakroom with WC and basin. Apartment 4 is similar to 1 but with its own private terrace and satellite TV Apartment 5 has two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, one en suite, and a third small bedroom with full size bunks. Large well furnished living room with fitted kitchen(dishwasher, washing machine fridge/freezer, oven, hobs) sitting and dining areas. Small garden with outside dining furniture. Satellite TV. Il Palazzo is on the edge of the village and it is also a short walk to the other village, Mercatale di Cortona. There are other restaurants in both villages. There are cafes, supermarkets, banks, post offices etc despite the fact that the villages themselves are very small. It is a quiet area. In fifteen minutes you can be at Lake Trasimeno and on your way to Siena, Montepulciano, Florence etc. In the other direction lie Assisi, Gubbio, Perugia. All around are wonderful old hill towns dating back to thirteenth and fourteenth century (that's the newer ones) set in exceptional verdant scenery.
