Casa Marzi dates back to 1600. It is in a rural setting in south-east Tuscany, close to the Umbrian border. The house was bought in 2002 and completely renovated and refurbished.
It is on a quiet farm lane leading to a small hamlet 1km from the village of Tavarnelle that is situated on the main road between Lake Trasimeno and Arezzo.
It is approximately 3 kms from the Etruscan city of Cortona which was featured in the book 'Under the Tuscan Sun' by Frances Mayes. There is also a film based on the book.
The house is in an elevated position allowing a light breeze during hot weather. There are views across the Val di Chiana (valley) to Mt Amiata (exticnt volcano) and Mt Cetona. On the other sides, there are panoramic views of the foothills of the Apenines.
