Set in a charming location amid beautiful natural scenery, close to numerous historic centres, Il Maggese, is a handsome 19th century manor house set in the Tuscan countryside. The house has been elegantly modernized to provide all modern comforts whilst paying particular attention to detail to retain the original features and character of the building. The extensive garden grounds, that surround the Villa, provide plenty of space for guests to enjoy alfresco dining or for finding a quiet corner for reading and relaxing. The swimming pool, set amid the garden grounds, is surrounded by age-old olive trees, backed by a nice shady pinewood. The surrounding countryside, dotted with small villages and tracts of ancient woodland, affords excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and horse riding. Il Maggese is very conveniently located and provides an ideal base for exploring the delights of Tuscany and Umbria with the art centres and historic towns of Cortona, Arezzo, San Sepolcro, Siena, Florence, Perugia, Gubbio, Assisi, and the Lake Trasimeno well within easy reach.
