Casa Airone
Description
The location of Casa Airone, on the Lazio, Abruzzo and Umbrian borders is utterly unique, where else could you stay and be able to visit three regions of Italy as different as chalk and cheese in one day? Also, this unique villa is situated in the middle of a National Park with its many secretive lakes, soaring mountains and picturesque scenery. This little known area of Italy has been fought over for centuries.
Casa Airone, a typical farmhouse of the region, is set within a delightful garden with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and towards the distant Reatini mountain range. A wide wisteria clad verandah, with comfortable rattan sofas and large dining table, provides a wonderful outdoor living area for life al fresco.
The delightful elderly owner has made every effort to ensure that this villa more than lives up to your expectations. The large traditional farmhouse kitchen, complete with fireplace, is warm and welcoming, the furnishings a blend of antique and modern that could easily grace the pages of Country Life. Vaulted beamed ceilings, stone archways, whitewashed walls and terracotta floors keep that note of traditional charm so highly sought after and with open fireplaces in the sitting room and principal bedroom one can just imagine the flickering firelight making winter rentals romantic beyond measure.
