Cottimi
This delightful property, is located near to the medieval village of Preggio and within walking distance of a shop and restaurant (up a steep hill). Guests will love its outside living spaces, with two terraces from which to choose, both enjoying the pervasive scent of lavender and rosemary.
There are gardens both at the front and rear of the property. A large dining table sits on one of the terraces which has a bamboo roof with climbing wisteria providing ample shade and stunning views over the valley (and overlooking the pool area for supervising children). The second terrace nestles in the garden at the side of the property with a view of Preggio and hills beyond; this is a great spot for breakfasts.
Inside, one sitting room is situated upstairs, with a large fireplace and downstairs is the dining room with oak beams and another sitting room, with doors opening onto the terrace with stone barbecue and fridge. In addition to the main house is the the original Tobacco Tower, converted into an annexe,ideal for guests preferring somewhere to escape to, as well as being well suited for teenagers wanting their own ‘space’ away from parents!
With its barbecue, swimming pool with smart cushioned teak sunbeds, football goal, badminton or volleyball net, there is always plenty to do. For lovers of art and culture, Casa Cottimi is an ideal base, with easy access to the historic towns of Perugia, Cortona, Gubbio and Assisi.

Welcome Provisions Included
A welcome gesture to offer you a drink after your journey; tea or coffee and biscuits, wine or juice and a snack. They are not sufficient for an entire meal. Owners will also generally leave a few other items such as some salt, sugar, oil, bin bags and toilet paper.
Food Hamper
Can be arranged for an additional cost and service charge payable locally. For guests who are arriving late or who recognize they may be delayed and arrive with no time to do shopping. Shops are shut on Sundays, so the aim of the Food Hampers is to provide two light meals and two breakfasts, to allow guests to go out for one meal, then do more shopping on Monday. We can adapt these hampers to take into account allergies, dislikes and dietary requirements, or according to whether there are children in the party.
Cook Service
On request, payable locally
Shopping
We suggest you stop on the wayand shop for ‘basics’ and food for breakfast for Sunday and Monday mornings. Most shops will be closed on Sunday, though in the height of summer, the small but good supermarket at Castel Rigone (about 15 mins by car) will be open for a few hours on Sunday morning. There may also be other shops open on a Sunday, but nothing is certain (shops tend to decide at the last minute, according to demand). If you are arriving late (planes can be delayed), we recommend you order a Food Hamper to tide you over the weekend
Maid Service
3 hours 3 days per week.
