Nestled in an unspoiled landscape in Acqualagna—a town famous worldwide for its truffles—this ancient tower, dating back to the late 13th century, has been completely renovated by the owners while retaining its original rural charm. The property features a beautiful swimming pool (closed in October) and a well-maintained garden, where the trees provide a shaded area equipped with tables and chairs, perfect for enjoying moments of relaxation. The area is well known for the countless small medieval and Renaissance villages scattered throughout the surrounding valleys. The local cuisine, centered on traditional truffle specialties, is an absolute must-try. The property spans three floors. On the first floor of the nature house, there is a living room with a fireplace and a double sofa bed, as well as a kitchen. A spiral staircase leads to the second floor, where there is a double bedroom with an extra single bed; on the ground floor, there is a bedroom with three single beds, a bathroom with a shower, and a laundry area.
Nature and surroundings
The Naturehouse, with its thick stone walls, has a 4,000-square-meter garden featuring broom, oaks, maples, and heirloom fruit trees: hazelnut, apple, pear, and cherry trees;one maple tree is over 250 years old and provides a refreshing oasis for the birds that nest there and for people relaxing in its shade. In the surrounding woods, you’ll find roe deer, wild boars, hares, porcupines, and hawks. The house is 20 km from Urbino (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), secluded atop a hill, and nearby are important towns and areas of historical interest: Cagli,Piobbico, Urbania, the Furlo Gorge State Nature Reserve—where golden eagles nest—and Mount Nerone, with a summit at 1,525 meters, accessible via trails marked by the CAI. The area is famous for the white truffle of Acqualagna, a local specialty; guests can be accompanied by trained dogs to hunt for them. In the area, you can visit museums showcasing local fossils, and for the little ones, there’s “Il Bosco dei Folletti” (The Forest of the Elves), where they can meet lots of farm animals.

the inside is authentically Italian, the garden and the view are unsurpassed
de binnenkant is authentiek Italiaans, de tuin en het uitzicht zijn onovertroffen
The garden is spectacular: the herbs that smell, the size of the garden, the many seating areas and then the lovely pool. In addition, the view of the meadow surroundings continues to fascinate.
De tuin is spectaculair: de kruiden die geuren, de grootte van de tuin, de vele zitjes en dan het heerlijke zwembad. Daarbij blijft het uitzicht over de weide omgeving boeien.

The garden is super for the dogs but really go to water with the dogs in high season is almost not there.... much dry by heat in the area supermarket and some further drive beach nice villages and towns
De tuin is voor de honden super maar echt naar water gaan met de honden in hoogseizoen is er bijna niet.. veel droog door warmte in de omgeving supermarkt en wat verder rijden strand leuke dorpjes en stadjes
Nice cottage, old house... some things could be fixed up a bit like the bathroom. Note the third bedroom is the living room. Is no door between living room and stairs up where another bedroom is ... you have neighbors just below you but no burden of
Mooi huisje, oud huis.. sommige dingen kunnen wat opgeknapt worden zoals de badkamer. Let op de derde slaapkamer is de woonkamer. Zit geen deur tussen woonkamer en trap naar boven waar nog een slaapkamer is.. je hebt buren net iets onder je maar geen last van

It is a spacious and charming house. Tower from the 12th century with spacious rooms on three floors. Kitchen is adequate and there are two bathrooms. There are many fun things to do that the very nice host Sandro is happy to help you find and organize.
Het is een ruim en charmant huis. Toren uit de 12e eeuw met ruime kamers op drie verdiepingen. Keuken is adequaat en er zijn twee badkamers. Er zijn veel leuke dingen te doen die de zeer aardige gastheer Sandro je graag helptvinden en organiseren.
The location is fantastic with wide views and spacious garden. Cicadas, owls, wild boar are everywhere. It is fairly close to civilization and the house below though so it is not a total middle of nowhere experience.
De ligging is fantastisch met wijde uitzichten en ruime tuin. Cicaden, uilen, wilde zwijnen zijn overal. Het is wel redelijk dichtbij de bewoonde wereld en het huis beneden waardoor het niet een totale middle of nowhere ervaring is.
