"The house and grounds are gorgeous! I took my family last March and we had an amazing time. The caretaker for the home was lovely and prepared a delicious home-cooked meal for us for the evening we arrived! We stayed in the 8 person lodging; every room was beautiful - a perfect combination between rustic charm and all the modern conveniences. The best meal of the trip was at the restaurant that is just down the road. We took day trips into the nearby hill towns of Tuscany and had a lovely day tasting wines at the nearby Chiesa del Carmine. In my opinion, the market value of the weekly rental is marked far too low for the beautiful setting and amazing accommodations. If you're lucky enough to win this, you are in for something truly special. And hey, if you want a few insider tips (perhaps over a glass of Chianti?), I'd be more than happy to share the highlights of our incredible trip! - Soo Zee Park

Enjoy a 1-week stay at Calboccia, a 500-year-old hilltop farmhouse surrounded by more than 100,000 acres of meadows, pastures, and woodland bordering Umbria and Tuscany.

The "Essiccatoio" is a separate two story building. It was once the farm's barn. It has been restored so that it has an overall size of more than 1100 square feet, including two terraces. There are upper entrances as well as a lower entrance. The upper level has an open floor area design, with an L-shaped kitchen, writing desk, dining area, and an L-shaped reading nook, with fireplace and upholstered built-in chestnut corner-bench.

The upper level of the "Essiccatoio" opens out onto private terraces, with lovely views on all sides. The staircase takes you to the downstairs living area, which consists of a large master bedroom suite, sleeping two. In addition to the sleeping and sitting areas, the lower level includes another writing desk, large walk-in closet, and a large full bathroom. The "Essiccatoio" has a washing machine and a dishwashing machine, central heating, as well as the fireplace and an antique "stuffa in cotto", or terra cotta wood-burning stove, which is located in the master bedroom suite. The house also has double-pane insulated windows and doors. In the winter months, read by the fireplace, enjoying the house's warmth and cozy feeling.
