General
Much like the half rendered-half stone exterior of this two-floor detached house, the guest accommodation splits horizontally between ground and first floor. Whether only for four people on the first floor, or with an extra two guests on the ground floor, the two floors are independent of eachother but rented out in their entirety for one price.

Hidden away at the end of a recently tarmacked, traffic-free, private road, Casa Brilli nestles amongst superlative countryside. Its garden and pool area mirror the rural beauty all around with an expansive lawn and large pool.
The Renaissance town of Castiglion Fiorentino is 5 kilometers away and is an impressive sight when approached from any direction. Higher than the Valdichiana plain that it dominates, the town has atmospheric bars on piazzas, open-air restaurants and culture aplenty -  the old Gothic church of San Francesco and the Madonna della Consolazione temple are worth a visit. 

Location
The essentials of banks, chemists and a good variety of food shops are found in Castiglion Fiorentino or in the shopping complexes on the plain underneath. Cortona is another town that seemingly floats high above the Valdichiana plain - literally a jewel of a hill town - without accompanying hordes of tourists.

Layout
An electric sliding gate reveals the parking area and the 7 steps up to the illuminated garden and pool area with outside shower. The furnished swimming pool measures 12m x 6m and depths of 1m x 2.20. The owner is a passionate gardener hence he tends to his grounds himself.
