Relax in this delightfully spacious central apartment on the ground floor of the owner's 100 year old house. The apartment, just in front of the town's ancient 15th century walls, features a large private secluded garden ideal for al fresco dining (for your use only). All previous guests have enjoyed the homely and pleasantly welcoming atmosphere. Safe parking just outside the house. A car is not necessary you can use public transport to most places.
The large open plan sitting room has high ceilings and four very comfortable sofas, stereo, tv (satellite British and American channels) and a very wide selection of English DVDs. It leads into to the dining room with its seating for six people and a cosy fireplace, where you can roast meat or chestnuts. An extra sofabed is nearby for more guests/children. An extensive selection of books, guides and maps is on hand.
A solid oak custom-made staircase leads to the mezzanine bedroom with built-in wardrobes and plenty of cupboard space, queen size bed and a computer with 24 internet access. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 4 ring electric stove, Smeg oven and large fridge-freezer. As well as a kettle, toaster, American coffee maker you’ll find everything you need for your first couple of nights (milk, coffee, cereals, pasta, wine etc). We are happy to do any required shopping for you before your arrival. Can also take guests without a car to nearby supermarket. Utility room nearby where you can use the washing machine, ironing board etc.
The apartment is in the heart of Sansepolcro, literally two minutes ON FOOT from the historic centre and all its many excellent and affordable restaurants, shops and bars. There’s parking just outside the house and if you prefer to use public transport your hosts (who live above the apartment) will be happy to help you with local transport services, or indeed anything else.
In Sansepolcro you’ll experience the joy of living in a true Italian town not yet inundated with mass tourism. During the late afternoon and evening join in the ‘passegiata’ the walk from one end of the town to the other. The local piazza and bars are abuzz with people meandering and greeting each other. Stroll around the lively Tuesday and Saturday markets when the main street is lined with stalls selling everything under the sun. Festivals, wine and food events are constant during the year both in Tuscany and nearby Umbria. In the summer you can walk (5 mins) to the large olympic swimming pool set in beautiful pine woods.
A truly perfect staring point from which to discover marvellous towns and surrounding countryside. Nearby trips within the hour Cortona, Assisi, Arezzo, Anghiari, Perugia, Gubbio and about 1 hour and a half Florence, Siena, Gubbio, Montepluciano, San Gimignano, the adriatic coast, Lake Trasimeno (Rome 2.30 hours). The list is endless.
The owner is willing to accompany guests to Florence and other cities.

Dear Louise and Franco, Thank you very much for your lovely email. We really enjoyed our stay with you and glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. We arrived home in Forres late on Sunday after a great wedding in Edinburgh (I wore my new ring and I am absolutely delighted with it). We had a good journey over to Cecina and managed to find our way around Siena. The hotel was excellent and Harry was very pleased with the racing bike he had hired. We thought Volterra was a wonderful place. We were sorry to return the keys for the hire car at Pisa on Thursday!!! If the weather is still very hot in Italy you could cool down quite nicely here. It is awful---torrential rain and snow on the mountain tops. We saw it yesterday as we had to go to Aviemore---midsummer! Alex would not need his water gun to cool off here. We enjoyed meeting you both and you made us feel so welcome. Do keep in touch and please come to visit us if you ever do a home swap to Scotland. Best wishes Harry and Margaret

Hi Louise and Franco I wanted to thank you again very much for everything, starting with the welcome glass of wine, pasta in the fridge etc. We really loved your place straight away as it really felt like coming home when we arrived and after our long journey the place was very relaxing. The apartment was very cosy and sitting and having a chill in the garden was just the best thing to do after our day trips. And we could have our dog with us with no worries. Also we enjoyed all the places reccommend by you - starting with the sights to see following with restaurants reccommended an places to go shopping. We definitely would reccommend that Cara Mamma restaurant as I think this place is definitely very italian and regular tourist would have no chance to find it. Thank you again and regards Marketa
