The result is Podere Fontegallo a newly restored 17th century farmhouse perched on a hill in the tranquil Umbrian countryside just ten minutes drive from Tuscany with spectacular panoramic views to the horizon in all directions. From Podere Fontegallo you can see the gentle rolling hills of agriculture, olive, cypress, Aleppo pine, oak and chestnut trees, Lakes Trasimeno and Chiusi and the Medieval hilltop villages of Cortona, Chiusi, Panicale, Chianciano-Terme, Montepulciano and the mountains in the distance on the horizon.

Two of the apartments also have French doors leading outside from the main bedroom to the back garden. Three of the apartments have a sitting area with a woodburning fireplace.
