This classically restored stone farmhouse is situated
on a high hillside with panoramic views of Umbria and eastern
Tuscany, including the tiny hill town of Preggio, and the
ruins of the Pierle castle in a landscape dotted with small
farms and ancient olive groves.
On the
upper floor, the house has three double bedrooms and two baths. It includes a large,
cook's delight country kitchen with long, oak dining table, made from the beams of the
original house. The dramatic, high-ceilinged living room has a raised hearth open
fireplace, suitable for philosophical gazing and culinary pleasures. The upstairs living
room leads out on to a covered loggia, with some of the best views in central Italy--a
place to read, to eat, and to watch the weather and light change throughout the day.
"And while we were using our rental home as a base for travels
within the region, we also took the opportunity to go nowhere
and do nothing. La Pietra lent itself perfectly to such
nonpursuits."
For larger groups, there are two bedrooms on the ground floor, each
with its own private bathroom, which can be rented on a per
bedroom basis in conjunction with the upstairs accommodations.
The front bedroom has a large raised hearth fireplace, providing
additional living room space on the ground floor. Outdoor
terraces on three sides expand the living space of the house,
providing different vantage points from which to enjoy the
view. Vegetable and herb gardens close to the house are an
added country luxury. The house is centrally located for easy
exploration of the region.
