The village of San Giovanni delle Contee is located just inside Southern Tuscany, on the border of Lazio.
It sits in the middle of an oasis untouched by industry, agriculture, highways or railways. The natural beauty of the area is rich in wildlife, offering an abundance of peace, clean air and beautiful landscapes, yet is only a 20 to 40 minutes drive to many popular termes, including those of: San Casciano dei Bagni, Bagno Vignoni, Saturnia, Sorano as well as Lake Bolsena, Monte Amiata, the medieval towns of Pitigliano, Sorano and also Sovana, with its Etruscan archaeological park. Hiking is excellent due to country roads free of traffic lights and a sparsely populated environment offering a tranquil journey to all who venture here.
San Giovanni is perfectly located to visit: Siena, Lake Bolsena Viterbo and the Sea. The closest mid-sized towns are Acquapendene (14km) and Castell' Azzara (9km). It is about 50 minutes from Orvieto, which is an entrance point to the A1 Napoli-Milano autostrada and has a major train station. Siena is about 1 hour North and Viterbo is about 1 hour South. It is about 2 hours to either Roma or Firenze airports.
Price: To be determined, plus commission, taxes, closing costs.
