House to view - Spring 2007

Photographs of our house at different times of year.

           
The medieval walled village of Gualdo Cattaneo. Although this wasn't taken from the house, the view is from only a few yards along the white road. Our half of the villa. Below the terrace is the spacious cantina - a cellar which is accessed from the courtyard. This is suitable for storage or for extending the living area. The villa from the main entrance gate - you can just see the outline of the mountains away to the left.
                 
           
Our front room - about 40m2 - with its newly-laid tiled floor. For music buffs, the acoustics in here are fantastic! One of several peach trees in our garden - far too many for us to eat even after we had bottled a whole load. Fortunately (?) our two Golden Retrievers liked them too. The Winter view through the arches of the terrace. The mountains in the background (see photo below) are about 2,500m high and border the National Park. Assisi is just off-picture to the left.

It isn't always this cold!

                 
           
The view over the olive grove from the bedroom balcony.

You can't say we're overlooked!

Wild strawberry trees grow in abundance near the house. The Piano Grande National Park - a huge depression which was once a lake and is now given over to meadows. In spring (particularly), the fields are a riot of wild flowers.
