Holiday Homes & Villas in Caprese Michelangelo, Tuscany – La Radicata

LA RADICATA
PLACE: Caprese Michelangelo | REGION: Tuscany | EVALUATION: ****
DESCRIPTION
The area called La Valtiberina, on the eastern edge of Tuscany, is an attractive hilly landscape with woods of chestnut trees and fields for pasture, and offers, due its combination of art, history and nature, an image of a Tuscany still barely touched by mass tourism, yet full of medieval and renaissance art treasures. In this area were born two of the greatest Italian renaissance artists: Piero della Francesca and Michelangelo. Just 5 km from the village Caprese Michelangelo, where the artist who created the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel was born, lies La Radicata, surrounded by private, terraced grounds, with a marvelous panorama of the lake at Montedoglio and of the hills around it, offering absolute privacy and peace and quiet. This attractive stone farmhouse has been renovated to perfection, furnished comfortably and with taste, with ample external areas furnished for relaxing and dining outside, with a marvelous view: there's a courtyard, a pergola with BBQ area and wood-burning oven for bread and pizza, a terrace and, on the highest level, a nice furnished and fenced swimming-pool (12x5 m). This is an ideal place for a holiday in natural surroundings, for walking, bike-rides, or trips to the art towns, in an atmosphere of total relaxation. The last kilometer before arriving at the house is along a narrow, cement road uphill.
