Casale Tre Cipressi 10

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (LEASE ONLY - CIR CODE: 055004LOTUR32207). An advantageous geographical location in Umbria but very close to the wonders of Lazio, a hilltop location meaning that from the house and from the private park and swimming pool your gaze travels over a magnificent rural landscape as far as the eye can see, a well-kept garden full of plants and many set-up areas making it a livable place at all hours of the day, an old 1912 stone farmhouse with spacious, bright and welcoming rooms: Casale Tre Cipressi is all this and much more.

Originally a farmhouse built at the beginning of the last century, when the bottom floor was used as a shelter for farm animals, the original design is still recognizable and materials salvaged from that rural past have been re-used in the various renovations. The old roof tiles, chestnut-wood ceiling beams and terracotta floors attire this delightful home to which the current owners have conferred a personal touch by adding antique Sicilian majolica, handpainted in elaborate designs, and by decorating the rooms with fine antique furniture and objects of local tradition.

We are in the comune of Attigliano, a town inhabited since Etruscan times, as can be seen from the numerous discoveries of tombs and crypts, which takes its name from the Latin expression ad tilium, due to the area abounding in lime trees (tilium in Latin), and which is delimited by the natural line of the river Tiber. From here, using both the A1 motorway exit of Attigliano and the train station, you can quickly get to Orte, Orvieto, Narni, Todi, to the lakes of Bolsena and Bracciano and, in just over an hour, to the centre of the Eternal City, to the seaside resorts of Montalto di Castro and Tarquinia and to famous localities of southern Tuscany such as Cetona, Sarteano and San Casciano dei Bagni.
