The ancient town of Chiusi in Siena, Tuscany is beyond picturesque with its rich architectural heritage and hilltop location overlooking the stunning Val di Chiana. Chiusi, which dates back to 1000 BC was once one of the most important cities in the Etruscan empire. However, by the 3rd century BC it had become merely a Roman province and not one of the 12 leading cities of a federation. Under Charlemagne it was made into a country in its own right. Then its fortune took a turn again and it became a battlefield between Florence and Siena until the tensions between those two great cities and kingdoms calmed in the 19th century.

  Melograno 105.2

Very Good 4^/5   Villa Review Rating Details

Casa Pomegranate 105.2 is een gezellig klein huisje op het domein 'Melograno' met nog andere 3 of 4 vakantieverblijven (ongeveer 20 slaapplaatsen in totaal denk ik). Het staat huisje apart van de andere verblijven en heeft een eigen terras en is heel rustig gelegen. Het jhuisje wordt heel netjes onderhouden en is sober maar smaakvol ingericht.
De concierge Mara woont ter plaatse, is een heel attente Italiaanse dame (spreekt uitsluitend italiaans) en brengt de gasten regelmatig verse eitjes, tomaten, ... uit de eigen tuin.
Het gemeenschappelijk zwembad is groot genoeg en zeer goed onderhouden.
De zandweg naar Casa Pomegranate 102.5 is slecht gedeeltelijk te vinden met de TomTom, maar met de instructies op de voucher is het domein 'Melograno'wel goed te vinden.
Chiusi Scalo is een heel geschikte verblijfplaats om heel wat dorpen en steden in Toscane en Umbrië te verkennen.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Casa 105.2 Pomegranate is a cozy little cottage on the estate "Melograno" with other 3 or 4 cottages (about 20 beds in total I think). The house stands apart from other units and has a private terrace and is very quiet. It is very well maintained and simple but tastefully decorated.
Mara the caretaker lives on site, she is a very thoughtful Italian lady (speaks only Italian), and regularly brings the guests fresh eggs, tomatoes, ... from her own garden.
The communal pool is large enough and well maintained.
The dirt road to Casa 102.5 Pomegranate is only partially available with the TomTom, but with the instructions on the voucher the "Melograno" is easy to find.
Chiusi Scalo is a very suitable place to discover many villages and towns in Tuscany and Umbria.
