The imposing structure of this farmhouse, whose original layout dates back to the end of the 19th century, has preserved in its restructuring the architecture and a few details of the typical rural buildings of the past, such as the antique fireplaces, the vaulted brick ceilings that characterise the large living room, the built-in kitchen with large barbecue. The house is perfect for welcoming large groups, thanks to the comfort of spacious air-conditioned bedrooms with private bathroom and to the common areas both indoors and outdoors, with a portico and a shady pergola surrounded by roses and hydrangeas and the swimming pool offering a panorama which extends from the Val di Chiana to Lake Trasimeno. The house is located in the centre of a farm estate and is surrounded by olive trees, fruit trees and officinal herbs. Easy to reach, thanks to the proximity of the Autostrada del Sole (15 km away) and fast main roads, Podere Pratovecchio is perfectly located with all the main centres of interest close at hand. Renowned restaurants, wine bars and shops for basic necessities are located in the historic town centre of Montefollonico, about 2 km from the property. The Emma Villas’ Concierge Team can be reached for any emergencies, or further information you may require during your stay. All useful telephone numbers will be sent together with your booking documents. Interior: With an area of approximately 600 sq m, the house has two floors plus a turret. The paved courtyard in front of the house leads to the main entrance and then into a large living room with reading corners, sofa, satellite TV and fireplace (ornamental fireplace). From here you can access the billiard room and the open-plan kitchen and dining area, connected to the pergola through a French window. The floor is completed by a guest bathroom and laundry room (accessible from the outside). An internal stone staircase leads up to the sitting room on the first floor, which then leads to four double bedrooms (one with divisible bed) and two twin bedrooms (with joinable beds). Going up into the turret is a bedroom with two joinable beds. From the sitting room, a French window gives access to a landing (also accessible from an external staircase from the ground floor), with entrance to a small apartment, consisting of a double bedroom and a living area with kitchenette. All the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with shower. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms. Park: The house is part of a farm estate of about 6 hectares, composed of agricultural land for the production of fruit for preserves and 500 olive trees that surround the house and produce a prestigious extra virgin olive oil.
