Vacation Rental Description
|
|
Felicita means ‘happiness’ in Italian and is the right name for this house. The idyllic 360-degree view of the surrounding hills and mountains from the roof terrace makes you feel that you never want to be anywhere else! Tuck yourselves away in this totally unspoilt corner of Italy for a romantic holiday or honeymoon; escape and unwind in total comfort and tranquillity, with all the modern facilities you would expect. Its really hard to believe you’re staying in a 16th century house! In the tiny medieval village of Irola di Sotto, just walk 150 metres from your car, passing under charming vaulted passageways, turning the corner by the Madonna, past ancient portals to the edge of the village before arriving at the discreet entrance. Our guests guide gives you recommendations on where to eat and visit.

Further details indoors:
The front door opens into a fully equipped kitchen/ dining room, with beamed ceiling and Tuscan fireplace. Passing through a low doorway and down three steps brings you into the small hall. Open plan chestnut stairs lead up to the master bedroom, a light and airy room with a King size bed, antique furniture, original terracotta tiled floor part covered by a beautiful hand-made Nepalese rug. The spacious bathroom has a vaulted ceiling, large bath, shower and bidet. The sitting room is equipped with wood burning stove, comfortable furniture, TV/DVD/CD, complimentary DVD/CD library, and has another beautiful view. The second bedroom has 2 single beds, a view over lichen decorated roof tiles and mile after mile of mountains and valleys.
This is a delightful place to relax, enjoying the special life of a tiny village, with superb views and glorious sunsets. You can walk for miles in the surrounding countryside, or travel easily to the towns and cities of Tuscany. Further details outdoors:
The roof terrace (accessed from an external stone staircase) is equipped with barbeque and furnished for sun bathing, eating outdoors or simply enjoying panoramic views of the mountains. Next to the front door a small shaded balcony, which is particularly pleasant for a couple to breakfast during the hot summer months. A paradise for country lovers, at dawn and dusk it is possible to glimpse deer and even wild boar as they venture from cover in search of food, or watch golden eagles and other rare birds as they soar above the hills and down the valleys. We even supply the binoculars!
Suitability
This three-story house with roof terraces is not suitable for young children, the 150m walk from the car steps and stairs make the house unsuitable for people of reduced mobility.
