Description

The farmhouse stands in the countryside around Cortona (Arezzo), in Valdichiana. In the origin, the building was a small church erected in the Middle Ages, which was then transformed into a traditional Tuscan farmhouse after 1577. Of the ancient building of worship it has maintained a series of truss-beams, a peculiar bell-shaped window and fresco representing Saint Sylvester, to whom the church was entitled. The loggia on the first floor offers a wonderful view over Valdichiana.
