Lovely Country House surrounded by an Olive Grove with 360° view

Casa il Cripesso is a fully restored, free-standing countryhouse with the exterior construction in natural stone, typical for Umbria. It is located in the hilly landscape on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, between the medieval towns of Monteleone-di-Orvieto and Città-della-Pieve. A very unique panorama offers views of Monteleone di Orvieto and onto the Amiata mountain.
From the main entrance of the house you reach a large living-dining room with an open fire place, and an original oak-beamed ceiling. The living area has comfortable armchairs and sofas, as well as a spacious dining table and chairs. The small kitchen is fully equipped and from its window you have a wonderful view of Monteleone di Orvieto. From the living room two window-doors open onto the terraces, one of which is covered and the other, bigger terrace is exposed but with an ample shade tree and pergola.
Off of the main living area there is a small bedroom with two single beds, a bathroom with a W.C., shower and sink, and a further lounge/TV-room with large sofas, one of which opens into a double bed, and may become another separate bedroom. A stairway from the main entrance leads you to a small hallway leading to two independent bedrooms. One has a matrimonial bed (140cm) and the other a double bed (160cm). A full bath with shower-tub-sink-bidet is located just outside of the bedrooms. The house has central heating. The system provides also the two bathrooms and the kitchen with hot water. The house is equipped with brick colour ceramic floors and wood beam ceilings in order to maintain the original character of the farmhouse. There is a garden which belongs to the house with shading trees, which, around the house is in an even position, going into a slope with an olive grove and fruit trees. The ground is approx. 3000 sqare meters. There are lawn chairs, sun umbrella etc. at your disposal and ample parking places for the car are available on the grounds.

Peaceful, but not remote!
The house is lovely, & we immediately felt at home there. Gerda & Sandro had a long wait for us due to road problems from the airport, but we’re so cheerful & welcoming. The inside of the property is filled with everything you can possibly need for your stay. Very comfortable indeed. We spent most time outside, where there’s a choice of patios & beautiful flowers & shrubs. The main patio overlooks the olive grove, with far reaching views to little villages & beautiful hills. The sunsets are wonderful. It’s easy to get to other villages in Umbria & Tuscany. We visited many, some were well known tourist spots, but nearby places like Monteleone, Sarteano & Cetona are equally beautiful, & quiet.

Lovely home from home on the Umbrian/Tuscan border
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house - it was a lovely retreat for when we were not out exploring although we did a lot of the latter, visiting Perugia, Assisi, Todi, Gubbio etc. Many thanks to Gerda!

Piccolo angolo di paradiso!
La vacanza ha risposto al nostro desiderio di relax.. il panorama è splendido, il cielo stellato immenso. Il casolare è ubicato in un punto strategico, dal quale facilmente si raggiungono tanti altri borghi e attrattive da non perdere. Proprietaria gentile e disponibile.

Ideal location to explore Umbria / Tuscany and Rome
We enjoyed a relaxing holiday in the cosy cottage. Ideal location for day trips to Firenze, Siena, Orvieto, Rome, Perugia. We were greeted by our friendly hosts upon arrival with a welcome beverage. Small kitchen but everything you need is available.

Traumurlaub in wunderschönem Ferienhaus
Ein wunderschönes, sehr persönlich eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit großem Garten in Hanglage mit tollem Blick auf den Monte Cetona. Sehr nette Vermieterinnen, die uns sehr gute Tipps gegeben haben. Gute Lage für Ausflüge in die Regionen Umbrien, Latium und Toskana. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Petit paradis isolé
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison bâtie sur le haut d'une colline, avec peu de voisins et une vue superbe. L'accès se fait par un chemin de cailloux à prendre avec précautions. Les environs abritent des villages dignes d'intérêt, même Rome est accessible sur une journée. La communication a été excellente avec les 2 propriétaires (merci pour la réservation à la Pizzeria) Un grand souvenir que cette semaine du mois d'Août.
