About Tiglio

This apartment has been created from the restoration of an ex-barn next to an ancient country manor that, over the centuries beginning from 1400, has undergone several transformations. The villa is also well-known in the area because it seems that Saint Francis stopped in its private, adjoining chapel on his way from Chiusi della Verna to the nearby Convento dell Incontro . Peaceful position, indeed, the road ends at the villa, and in addition to the owners who use it occasionally, only one family (caretakers of the property) lives in a farmhouse near the barn.The apartment, recently restored and transformed into a comfortable vacation residence, is independent with reserved external spaces boasting wonderful views over the hills.
