Agriturismo Il Caio

About

The beautiful 13th-century stone farmhouse is set on a knoll just 2km from the picturesque medieval hilltown of Cetona (one of “the most beautiful villages of Italy”). Pencil-thin Italian cypress punctuate the vistas surrounding the farmhouse, with views of olive groves, grapevines, and fields, as well as Cetona itself lying on the next hill. Ourr home as a charming and very comfortable 2-bedroom apartment with private entrance. You can rent either one bedroom or both, but in either case you have access to the apartment’s cozy kitchenette and spacious dining room. The apartment has a gentle beauty; time has worked its magic to give a warm patina to the terracotta floors, wood doors and shutters with their original hardware, high timbered ceilings, and large stone fireplace in the dining room. Lovely antiques and country furniture add to the charm. The two en-suite bathrooms are modern and attractive. For breakfast, the kitchen was stocked with coffee, milk, eggs, bread, and fruit. Cetona itself is well worth an extended visit – off the beaten track but with a lovely warren of narrow cobblestone streets and staircases that wind through the little town. Cetona is well located for visiting other interesting hilltowns such as Val d'Orcia, Montepulciano, Pienza, Orvieto, Citta della Pieve, Panicale, Cortona, Montalcino and more.
