Giovanna’s farmhouses (#84)
True Tuscan countryside charm and hospitality just 5 minutes from the historical centre.
La Torre and Casa Asmara are 2 delightful Tuscan stone houses set in the gentle foothills of the Apennines with romantic views of the famous Upper Tiber Valley. Each house has it's own distinct character and charm and is encircled by fields, a woodland and an olive grove.
The houses are available to rent for a group of up to 18 people alternatively separately for 8 and 8-10 people respectively. A tree lined country lane leads from La Torre to Casa Asmara so while each offers exclusive outdoor dining areas ensuring maximum privacy they are just a 3 minute stroll apart for larger parties.
A complimentary welcome basket with provisions for your first breakfast plus wine, mineral water and fresh fruit await your arrival.
A panoramic rural Tuscan countryside setting but just minutes from Sansepolcro with it's wealth of art [birthplace of world renowned Piero della Francesca], history and culture. The town also boasts numerous restaurants and bars, theatre, cinema, museums, churches, biweekly markets, many specialty shops and supermarkets and swimming pool with shaded picnic area & water slides.
