The farmhouse Veronica
lies about 10 kilometers west of Fabro. From there one can visit many nice
towns in southern Tuscany and western Umbria: Cortona, Chiusi, Cittΰ delle
Pieve, Montepulciano, Pienza, Sinalunga, Castiglione Del Lago, Orvieto,
partly using the highway, 7 kms away. Also the Monte Amiata is easily
reachable, if one wishes to walk in the mountains.
Veronica is a typical
Umbrian farm, carefully restored in 2000 using traditional materials and
techniques: stone walls, wooden ceilings, hand made tile floors welcome the
guests with the warm and simple atmosphere of the good old times. The estate
is near Monteleone di Orvieto, a small village in the Chiana valley, and is
located in the hills, rich of big oaks, where guests can walk under their
cool shadow, and where one finds mushrooms, wild fruits, or simply watches
the many animals that live free under their branches. From the large
swimming pool isolated in the green, you can enjoy a splendid view over the
Chiana Valley which separate Umbria and Tuscany. Veronica was in the old
times a lively farm, secluded on the top of a small hill, with houses for
farmers and workers as well as stables for horses and cows. Nowadays the
houses have been converted to host guests with all the comfort required by
modern times, while keeping the charm and style of the old tradition. The
six apartments, obtained by restoring the typical old stone buildings, are
carefully and completely furnished; vintage furniture help creating an
intimate and personal environment. A wide common room, obtained by
restructuring and restoring an old building of the farm, helps spending
time, may be with a glass of the good local wine. There is a 7x15 meter
swimming pool isolated in the midst of the green and full of sun; the pool
is at some 50 meters from the houses with the purpose to guarantee quiet
and privacy to all guests. The pool has an underwater lighting system for
pleasant night swimming and a wide sundeck with lounge chairs. The pool is
chlorine free; the water is purified using an innovative electrolytic
process; the result is a better quality water which does not smell and does
not irritate skin and eyes. Horse riding is possible nearby the holiday
homes. Nearest golf clubs:
