ROCCA DI PIERLE

Surrounded by the green hills of the Pierle valley, only a few miles away from the Etruscan town of Cortona, lies the Country House Rocca di Pierle, an ideal place to seek and find tranquillity and peace. The La Valle apartment is on the ground floor and derives its name from the breathtaking panoramic view on the entire Pierle valley and the Niccone river. Also this apartment has a private entrance, two double bedrooms, a living room (with sofa bed and fireplace), a kitchenette and a bathroom. The 70 sq. m. apartment can accommodate 4 to 6 persons.  "Il Monte" is in the building's upper store. From the windows and the wooden roofed balcony of the 70 sq. m. apartment one has an unobstructed view on the wood covered hills surrounding the big castle. The apartment features two double bedrooms or beds for 4 persons. The other rooms are a living room (with kitchenette and fireplace) and a shower equipped bathroom (like the other two apartments). The 55 sq. m. “La Loggia” apartment is on the first floor and derives its name from a small but beautiful arcade protecting the entrance. From here one has a magnificent view on the immense castle. The Loggia is structured as follows: living room (with sofa bed), double bedroom, fireplace, kitchenette and bathroom. 2+2 persons can be accommodated and they can also use all the services included (satellite-TV, telephone). Beside the apartments the adjoining storeroom has been restored and is now used as a breakfast room and is available to guests for their lunches and dinners.  Rocca di Pierle Country House is only 10 miles from Cortona, and is 500 m above sea level. Its central position is within easy reach of the major cultural locations and natural areas of Tuscany and Umbria., such as Florence, Siena, Perugia, Assisi and Rome. Vineyards nearby include the Chianti region, Montalcino and Montepulciano. After their excursions guests can relax in the Country House’s own swimming pool (7,5 x 14 m) and enjoy the breathtaking natural surroundings.
