Borgo di Calcina di Baldignano is a small estate enjoying panoramic views in rural Tuscany. This lovely property is comprised of two separate and private residences, Calcina and Torre della Luna, which stand 150 yards apart on 20 very pretty acres consisting of a small private church, fruit orchard, woodland, sunflower fields and farmland. Calcina and Torre della Luna are rented separately though are ideal for a large family or group of friends when rented together.

The estate occupies an elevated position in the lower foothills of the lovely Alpe della Luna region near the medieval town of Sansepolcro, birthplace of artist Piero della Francesca and home of his famous work "The Resurrection". This small but sophisticated walled town also has four restaurants listed in the Michelin guide as well as year-round events and festivals including the traditional crossbow contest the "Palio della Balestra" with rival town Gubbio. Nearby are delightful small hilltop towns including Caprese Michelangelo (allegedly the birthplace of the artist), Monterchi and Monte Santa Maria Tiberina. This is a wonderful base from which to explore many of Tuscany and Umbria's historical sites or to simply bask by the pool in the Italian sunshine.

Calcina is a handsome stone farmhouse, a casa padrionale, which has been extensively restored and it has a wonderful view from its hillside position. Blue shutters and blue painted arched doors on the ground floor add to the property's appeal. To the front and facing down the valley is a large and sunny terrace stretching the full length of the house. Under a vine and clematis covered pergola sits a table with seating for 8 to 10 - an ideal spot for alfresco dining. To the rear of the house is an unrestored barn (for storage) and a small desconsecrated charming church with naïve painted walls. Behind the barn lies a 10m x 5m pool with roman steps and panoramic views of the Umbrian Mountains beyond and the rolling Tuscan countryside below.
