Set on a lush, level hill top, dotted with olive trees, conifers and wild rosemary, just a 10 minute drive to Cortona, this old stone Italian farm house is situated next to an ancient Etruscan and Catholic holy site (the Madonna Del Bagno) that takes you back in time. If you like the natural beauty and quiet of the countryside with modern amenities, this VRBO is the place for you. The hosts, Tommy and Lucy, are very kind and helpful, available to answer any questions about the property and the locale while also remaining invisible and respectful of the privacy of their guests. Imbued with charm, the focal point of the main seating area in the house is the fabulous stone fireplace. The home is clean and cozy, full of books, maps and art from the owners’ travels. The garden, lawn and pool area are beautiful with many spots for contemplation or entertaining. The one mile road to the house from the center of Pergo wends its way up, taking you past several private villas and offering incredible views of the Val D’Orcia region.
