BARGAIN PRICE! REDUCED ONLY FOR A QUICK SALE: down from E.225,000 to E.185,000, this gorgeous, sunny and immensely cheerful little cottage in the mountains above Cortona, enjoys the best of two worlds: within easy reach of both Tuscany and Umbria’s most famous and beloved towns – Umbertide, Gubbio, Assisi, Montepulciano, Pienza, Val d’Orcia, Siena and Florence – and yet far enough ‘from the madding crowd’ to completely unwind and enjoy a simple rural lifestyle within a warm and welcoming community in which – bizarrely – there are now two excellent restaurants within walking distance from the house.

What better way could there be to spend a short (or long) break from the rigours of every-day life, than to sit out on your patio in your own small piece of Tuscany, enjoying an ‘aperativo’ al fresco, a wonderful view and knowing that you can stroll down to one of two restaurants for dinner without the need for a car?

Located 25 minutes from Cortona’s town centre (to the west) and 20 minutes from the characteristic village of San Leo Bastia (to the East), the cottage is situated on the edge of a Medieval hamlet in which there are 3 other properties.  The village of Teverina is very welcoming and the area is home to a mix of people from all over the world; so much so that the small parish holds a festa each year - with dancing and traditional food - in honour of all its international homeowners.

The house is approx. 100 mts and built on two floors and very easy to lock up and leave.

On the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen/dining area with kitchen island and a fireplace, a comfortable sitting room and a bathroom with large shower. 

There are two doors leading directly out into the pretty, fenced garden (approx. 100 sqm) with its BIG view

On the first floor there is a small  landing off which there are two bedrooms and one bathroom also with shower.

The house has central heating (LPG), mains electricity and mains water.

DEFINITELY WORTH VIEWING!!
