Having moved around all our lives, this is 'home'. Acquired in the mid 1970s, as a derelict farmhouse, we've poured energies into its restoration, with a particularly keen eye to maintaining its architectural traditions and to working the land - tending the olive groves and oak woods, and creating relaxing spaces.
The olives, wood piles, lawns, fruit trees all call for attention, as do the surrounding hills in which we hike and bike, or Cortona or many of the surrounding towns where a morning cappuchino or an evening sun downer gives just the right accent to the day. Leah and Chiara were born in Kenya, went to school in Rome and now in the UK and relish in their weekends and holidays at "Il Bagno". We love it and haven't yet met anyone who doesn't also fall in love with its simplicity and beauty.
