Agriturismo La Sosta di Annibale

About

Our farmhouse sits high on the foothills overlooking lake Trasimeno, on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, only 400 metres from the road connecting Tuoro sul Trasimeno and Terontola; Cortona is only 8 miles away; the surroundings of this charming farmhouse were the site of the famous battle of Lake Trasimeno; here in 217 B.C. the Roman army was routed by the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal. Completely refurbished in 2001, the farmhouse is surrounded by lawns, wheat and sun-flower fields, olive-groves and woodland, in a private location overlooking lake Trasimeno. The well-kept, fenced front-yard (ideal for kids) features extensive lawns as well as a beautiful 7 x 14 metre swimming-pool (with Roman-style steps; 1 meter deep in the shallowest point, 1,80 in the deepest). The farmhouse includes five independent apartments, two on the first floor and three on the ground-floor, each with large living-room with TV set, sofas, kitchenette complete with oven and fridge, two double-bedrooms and bathroom with shower. Extra beds for kids available on request.
