Description

My clients who spend long periods of uninterrupted holidays in this house always appear happy in the photos they send to their friends, to invite them to spend time with them in Miralaghi - a bit like the garden gnome freed from Audrey's in the fabulous world of Amelie -. The only thing that is not seen in the photos is the air that blows freely and keeps the air cool in summer and dry in winter.
Our house comfortably accommodates 6 + 2 people in three bedrooms and the billiard room with two single sofa beds, with 3 modern bathrooms with tub and shower.
There is a WI-FI super fast connection..
It is also ideal for a large family or two families traveling together.
The property, a gentle hill, 500 meters above the sea level, covered with Mediterranean and continental vegetation, centuries-old olive trees and green meadows; the house, among the trees, is a lookout on the sky-line of Città della Pieve, while with a short and pleasant walk to the top of the property you will see unique and unforgettable views. that stand out in a 360 ° horizon, with visibility extended to over 80 km over 4 regions of Italy: Umbria, Lazio, Tuscany and Marche and, just to name a few: from Città della Pieve to the Sibillini, from Lake Trasimeno to Assisi and Monte Terminillo, passing through Cortona, Chiusi and its lake, from Monte Cetona to Montepulciano, Castiglione del Lago and much more.
9 square kilometers of nature, the gentle wind that refreshes and cleans the air in a safe region. ..

Miralaghi extends between Umbria and Tuscany, and not far from Lazio either, in an ideal location for many trips, right in central Italy, just 15 km from the A1 motorway, at an altitude ranging from 450 to 650 meters on the level. of sea, with an enviable climate, both in winter and in summer.
Born as a hunting lodge, in 310 hectares of wonderful nature, among woods, olive trees, lakes, and breathtaking views, the house is an ideal place for lovers of relaxation and nature as well as for visiting the surroundings.

The entrance leads to the living room with a table for 8-9 people, a living area with 3 large sofas and a huge fireplace with internal benches in the traditional Umbrian way. TV-SAT, mini HI-FI, Yamaha electric piano.
To the right of the living room there are two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms overlooking the garden; to the left of the dining room, the billiard room with two beds that share the bathroom with shower with the last double or twin bedroom overlooking the hill.
The dining table overlooks the covered veranda, overlooking the surrounding hills among the trees. The veranda, with outdoor dining area, Barbecue and sitting area, is accessed from the living room. From the veranda you can access the garden and the private heated swimming pool. There are 1 hammock, 9 sun loungers, two lounge chairs and tea tables.
Next to the house there is a tea table with chairs, two swings, the ping pong table and the foosball table.

A couple of hawk often circle above us. A family of barn owls is often seen at night. Robin, jay, hoopoe, green-peak are regular visitors. Pheasants are often released here.

At the beginning of spring there are violets (in Italy we make a delicious blue candy with violets), many wild flowers during spring, sunflowers in summer; In September, carpets of cyclamen meet in the forest. From the end of September until the beginning of November you can find many species of mushrooms - the books that explain them are at home - If you like a different experience come on the last weekend of October, when we start harvesting olives.
