Delightful 2 bed apartment (65m2) within a white stone villa which sits on a hillside overlooking olive groves, vineyards and fields of sunflowers, with Lake Chiusi glistening in the distance. To the front there are views over countryside towards Montepulciano and Cortona.
Casa Julian offers a comfortable,relaxing holiday base for couples and families alike, with good access to places of interest.
A warm welcome awaits you.
The house is attractive, uniquely constructed in white stone striated with pink and sand colours and the beautiful arched terrace just draws you in. Despite this, guests who arrive during daylight often by-pass the house and go to the back to gaze at the lovely views. Luckily all the terraces and the sun lounger area overlook these views, so guests can just kick back and enjoy them as much as they like.
The 2 bedroom, ground floor apartment is very comfortably furnished with a large private terrace (sun from lunchtime) overlooking the pool area and fields towards Lake Chiusi . The terrace has a 4 seater metal table and chairs, a charcoal Bbq and personal sun lounger.
From the terrace French doors lead to the comfortably furnished living room with wrought iron and glass dining table & chairs, 2 seater sofa, rattan bucket chairs and small chest/ coffee table, Tv & Dvd player. There is a fully fitted kitchen area with fridge, electric oven, gas hob and dishwasher. In the entrance lobby to the two holiday apartments is a washing machine, additional fridge, library and a range of games, Dvd's and tourist information.
The master bedroom is light and airy with French doors leading to the balcony. It is furnished country style with double bed, two door wardrobe and bedside cabinets.
The second bedroom is furnished with twin beds, wardrobe and bedside tables and the bathroom has a shower, toilet, washbasin and bidet.
Because the apartment is on the ground floor it is suitable for people with limited mobility. Wheelchair access to the apartment is possible but there are small level changes at the French doors to the terrace.
Guest access
guests have free movement in the apartment, garden & pool areas. The Olive grove is where my chickens stay so is off limits except with permission. My apartment upstairs is a private area, guests can call up the stars or ring my bell if they need anything
Interaction with guests
I live upstairs so am on hand if wanted to help with any queries, offer suggestions of places to visit or help with translation and am very happy to take guests to local events like village Festas that might seem daunting to visit on your own. I offer day /1/2 day gourmet food & wine tours, Chef and cookery lessons by prior arrangement. there are two holiday apartments so guests can interact as much or as little as they want with other guests
My younger guests in particular love the animals and often ask to help with feeding the chickens. One of my earlier cats who only had three legs became very popular by 'begging' like a dog especially when guests fired up the Bbq - he was very successful!

My younger guests in particular love my animals and often ask to help with feeding the chickens but my dogs stay upstairs with me as not everyone is comfortable with larger size dogs, even though they are very friendly and adore children.

Situated on the Tuscany/ Umbria 'border' Casa Julian is well positioned for visiting all their places of interest. I am on a provisional road which carries farm traffic and this makes me easy to find. To the back of the property are sweeping country views of olive trees, sunflowers, vines towards lago to Chiusi which glistens in the distance. Gioiella village with its lovely cafe/bar, useful little supermarket , post office and pharmacy is two kilometres away
car hire is strongly recommended to get the best out of your holiday. Two railway stations are within 10/25 minutes drive which allows you to visit many important locations such as Rome, Florence, Orvieto & Siena, but to visit the picturesque hilltop towns and surrounding countryside you really need a car. Bus services are minimal.
