Accommodation & Facilities
Bedrooms at La Casaccia
Comfort is a key feature of four double bedrooms, each with an en-suite and completely private shower-room. Each room is furnished with a double (Queen) sized bed (no twin beds), a closet for hanging clothes and a chest of drawers. Each en-suite bathroom features a sink, vanity cabinet, toilet, bidet and shower enclosure, hair-dryer. Three of the bedrooms are in the new extension, while the fourth is in the original stone cottage. In addition to the 4 en-suite bathrooms there is a guest toilet under the stairs of the main house and another one at the pool level. A child cot can be provided on request. Dining La Casaccia has a lovely traditional internal dining room, with a long table that seats 10/12. A shaded terrace outside the kitchen has a table seating 8 with the most fantastic views. A larger terrace just above the pool can seat 12-14 people, more by adding extra tables and chairs, and is served by its own separate bbq kitchen. Lounging The living room is cosy with ample seating, a TV connected to AppleTV and a DVD player (there is a small collection of DVDs in the bookshelves at the bottom of the stairs). No terrestrial TV. There is a wood-burning stove for cooler evenings, as well as central-heating throughout the house. A beautiful feature outside the bedrooms is a large terrace with comfortable armchairs and sofas. Here you can enjoy the views during evening or after dinner drinks. A small porch at the end of the new wing provides an opportunity for quiet solitude sitting in a comfortable hanging chair alone with La Casaccia views. Just above the pool is a small covered terrace with a sofa and armchairs - a perfect spot for reading while the children play in the pool. If star-gazing is your passion, go to the comfortable armchairs on the small terrace outside the living-room and drink in the beauty of a clear, clean Umbrian night sky. Cooking* The spacious and modern kitchen in the main house is designed to gather friends or families together around an island counter-top with four bar-stools while those preferring to lounge can do so on a two-seater sofa. It is equipped with a large pantry, large fridge, a regular oven, a steam oven, a microwave oven, a gas cooker and an induction one, two dishwashers, a slow-cooker, toaster, microwave, blender and ice-cream maker. There is a second outdoor kitchen with barbecue, fridge, dishwasher and its own dishes and utensils, serving the large dining terrace overlooking the pool. *Catered meals and cookery courses available on demand - click on additional services in the menu. Exercising There is a small gym in the pool house, with a cross-trainer, a treadmill, an exercise bike, exercise mats and resistance bands. You can watch DVD's on the tv set provided if you want distraction and entertainment while you work out. There is even a small fridge to keep your drinks cool. Or you could just walk around the olive grove that belongs to the house. La Casaccia sits on 22 hectars of private land, of which over 1 hectar is fenced and populated with old olive trees. Pool The pool is 14 x 7 metres and 1.5 metres deep. It is surrounded by a large stone terrace which easily accommodates sunbeds and umbrellas for ten people and upwards. The large pool-house is set up with day beds, gym equipment (see above) and a fridge. There is also a toilet, and a solar-heated outdoor shower. The pool is not fenced, and is accessed by a staircase, therefore children must be supervised at all times. The pool is only open from June 15 to September 15, though this can be extended on request. Wifi There is unlimited wifi that is usually good enough for streaming, and extends to most of the bedrooms, the main part of the house, the terraces and down to the pool terrace. |
