A scenic avenue lined with cypress trees – this is the first thing seen by the guests of this beautiful property located in the Val Tiberina, an uncontaminated area of Umbria on the border with Tuscany. Il Cerreto is the old tobacco kiln of a large property dating back to the 19th century. The house has been completely renovated with great care by the owners, experts and professionals in the field of restoration. The villa has high quality, classical finishing touches of the period, such as wood-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The large rooms and lofts emphasize these features which will be admired by the guests. The property, thanks to the E45 highway, is well connected with the whole of Umbria and south-eastern Tuscany. Just a short drive away is Lake Trasimeno, Perugia, Assisi, the old borgo of Anghiari, Cortona and Arezzo.
