PONTICELLINO Villa

This delightful little independent house is located in a corner of a beautiful private 11,000 square meter park that hosts oaks, olive trees, fruit orchards, lawns and typical mediterranean shrubs such as lavender, rosemary and sage. The house has its own private access and garden area which is fenced in to afford maximum privacy. Parking is within the grounds. The garden is fully furnished and offers barbecue and a shaded area.

The house faces the lake and offers ample views. We particularly suggest it for honeymoon couples because of its romantic atmosphere. All shops and facilities are at 5 kms in the towns of San Lorenzo Nuovo and Gradoli. Situated in an area of historical, artistic and naturalistic interest, Ponticellino is at 30 kms from Orvieto which has ancient etruscan origins and stands on a limestone hill. The gothic cathedral is one of the most beautiful examples of Italian Gothic architecture.

Bolsena is at 8 kms and offers all facilities and should be visited to see the digs at the ancient roman site, the paleochristian catacombs and the medieval castle. In spring the inhabitants cover the streets with designs made using petals of different flowers in a ceremony called Infiorate. Lake Bolsena is at 1.6 kms. Surrounded by woodlands, vineyards and olive groves, lake Bolsena offers a series of interesting small restaurants with fresh fish that is brought in daily. There are 38 kms to Viterbo, 65 kms to Todi, 105 kms to Perugia, 120 kms to Assisi, 120 kms to Roma, 105 kms to Siena and the seaside at Monte Argentario is at 80 kms.

The house has two entrances. One is at ground floor from the furnished terrace into the living/dining room with fireplace, and kitchen corner equipped with mixed range, oven, fridge and dishwasher. A door in the living room opens into the complete bathroom with bathtub (slanted roof) that is executed in travertine marble.

A flight of wooden steps leads from the living room to the first floor which is entirely occupied by the master bedroom. There is a door in the bedroom that opens onto a small terrace that faces the lake with steps that lead down to the garden. Heating is with electric radiant panels and is included in the price. Firewood is offered for free by the owner. The house is exquisitely furnished and offers TV, baby cot and stereo set (tapes, compact disc and tuner).
