Casale Girasole
Beautiful country flat in the upper part of American owners' farmhouse, with independent entrance from a private loggia
The farmhouse may have been originally built as a mill and the renovation has maintained its country charm	Bordering the unspoiled countryside around Cortona with fields of tobacco, wheat and sunflowers (girasole)
All of the rooms have original wooden beams	With stone walls the farmhouse remains airy and cool during summer
Located in Tuscany, Italy near the medieval city of Cortona, the Casale Girasole sleeps at least 6 adults with three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one large and one small), and large common room with dining area and kitchen space. The farmhouse was completely renovated several years ago using original materials and maintaining the charming and rustic style (wooden-beamed ceilings, original tile & wooden floors). Furnishings have been selected with great care and in excellent taste. Bordering on a small vineyard and agricultural fields of tobacco and sunflowers, the surrounding countryside is ideal for walking and biking. Located on a private road only a few minute walk from the village center, the house is secluded without being isolated. The farmhouse is part of a small "borgo" with two other stone farmhouses closeby, but each is private to itself with garden/lawn space and no walls or fences.
