Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting hamlet of Doglio, in the heart of Umbria, Italy, Podere Le Corone is a remarkable vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside. Perched on one of the most scenic hills overlooking Todi and Monte Castello di Vibio, this extraordinary estate has been a silent witness to centuries of local tradition since 1601. The property was acquired by its current owners in 1994, who have dedicated themselves to preserving the magic and authenticity of this exceptional place. The complex develops around a central outdoor courtyard and comprises a main house and 2 annexes, all restored with meticulous attention to original details, using materials and shades inspired by the Umbrian countryside to create a rustic yet deeply welcoming atmosphere. Surrounded by a vast 22-hectare estate dominated by an ancient olive grove of 6,600 trees, the property offers an extraordinary sense of seclusion and natural harmony. A beautiful panoramic swimming pool, a generous yard dotted with centuries-old olive trees, tall trees, fruit trees, jasmines, lavenders, and roses complete the outdoor setting. Guests benefit from high-speed Internet WiFi throughout the property, as well as ample parking facilities including 4 covered spaces under a shed and 6 uncovered spaces, accessible through an automatic iron gate at the end of an internal avenue bordered by olive trees.

Description
La Casa di Pino, a small jewel of rural architecture dating back to the year 1200, is located in the heart of the Val di Chio, on the border between Tuscany and Umbria and a few kilometers from the town of Castiglion Fiorentino. All around green woods that are part of the farm, where you can also admire the beautiful 'Majesty' in the grove, a few hundred meters from the house.
In our opinion the main feature of Casa di Pino, which makes it perfect for couples and romantic holidays, is the atmosphere that the owners have managed to create in this small space. In addition to the fact that it resembles a nest, the warm colors chosen for the rooms and the furniture itself, give the feeling of being at home, in an intimate and welcoming place.
In the wide garden the beautiful swimming pool (size 4x8 m., depth 1,20-1,50 m. - open from 01st May to 30th September) with Jacuzzi corner, barbecue and wood burning oven next to the gazebo and an equipped porch. A few meters from the house passes a panoramic side road that crosses the hills and connects Castiglion Fiorentino to the town of Cortona and the nearby region of Umbria.

Description
From the village of Castiglion Fiorentino, with its shops and services, following the suggestive road that crosses the entire Val di Chio and climbs the wooded hills and represent the natural border between Tuscany and Umbria, you will arrive at a small cluster of houses set on the slopes of the hill and overlooking a beautiful wooded landscape. The last stretch of road, about 200 m, is unpaved and sloping. La Casa del Nonno is a small, old stone house that is part of this original rural settlement once inhabited by farming families. Here you will find guaranteed peace; lazy summer days by the pool and in the solarium enjoying the sun, without hearing any noise except those of nature.
A careful renovation has brought La Casa del Nonno back to life. Rustic style furniture, old beams on the ceilings, the old fireplace in the living room, give it a warm atmosphere reminiscent of times gone by, when the house and the open fire were the shelter of the farmers after a hard day's work.
The house will be your own little nest, well-finished, comfortable and cosy and will immediately give you the feeling of being welcome.
In front of the house there is an outdoor area arranged on natural terraces connected by steps, completely fenced and equipped with garden furniture, barbecue and a small house with laundry. For your exclusive use there is also a beautiful swimming pool (size 6x4 m, depth 1.20 m - open from 1 May to 30th September), with a panoramic view and equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs and sunshade.
For your open-air dinners in the summer evenings, the owners have organised a special corner on a terrace in the garden, equipped with a wrought iron table and chairs and covered by a large parasol. La Casa del Nonno
