Facing south over a valley of olive groves, fields and woodlands, Scopeto is delightful stone farmhouse in a gloriously rural setting east of Cortona. Indoor and outdoor dining areas on the ground floor take advantage of the lovely views and open into a large, bright and modern kitchen that is perfect for preparing the fresh foods gleaned from local markets. On the second floor, decorated in a cheerfully elegant blend of English and Italian antiques, a pretty sitting room provides a cosy retreat for rainy days and cool evenings. Wooden steps lead from the main bedroom up through a trap door to a second bedroom for children or casual guests. A private pool is set on a stone terrace below the house, where loungers enable the less motivated to survey the valley without moving an inch.
