Casa Rancione nestles in the chestnut hills of Umbria, on the border of Tuscany, with Cortona only a 35 minute drive away. This restored former "seccatoio" (tobacco barn) is peaceful and yet not isolated, as there are neighbours including a medieval castle above and a 15th century monastery across the valley.


The two bedroomed house was fully restored in 2000 and the present owners have upgraded it further by adding a new fully fited modern kitchen, state of the art wood burning fire, central heating and a deep well for plentiful water supply.



The ground floor has a wonderful loggia perfect for dining and relaxing. This could also be transformed into two further rooms such as a third bedroom and a dining room if required.


There is a fully fitted modern kitchen with breakfast/dining island and doors to the front garden. There is also a comfortable lounge with doors leading to the loggia and back garden. Off the lounge and under the stairwell is an extra small room which is used as storage and utility.

The staircase leads to two double bedrooms and a fully fitted bathroom with bath. The main bedroom has a lofty ceiling and picture window, and fully fitted wardrobes. Bedroom two also has high ceilings.

All rooms have original beams. All flooring is tiled.

The majority of the furniture and fittings are included in the price.
