Private Italian Luxury Villa Near Historic Cortona

About The Experience

This recently built villa offers all the comforts of a well-designed and comfortable home situated amidst Tuscany’s pristine countryside. Friends and family can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views in this lovely stone villa while indulging in the privacy of a swimming pool. Also, Cortona, with its picturesque streets and wonderful restaurants is within walking distance.

Location Description

This idyllic retreat sits just outside Cortona –the famous backdrop for “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Perched on a hillside, Cortona offers visitors rustic old-world charm with its medieval sandstone facades, narrow streets, and churches behind ancient Etruscan walls. Cortona is only ten minutes away by foot but you can also drive your car and park it outside city walls. Wander through the charming narrow streets in the historic center, visit the Duomo with its 11th century façade, or the Museo dell’ Academia Etrusca to take in Renaissance and Baroque works of art. You’re ideally situated in the midst of several notable Tuscan villages, yet only a few kilometers from stylish Italian shops. The villa and farmhouse look out over the town, Val di Chiana, and the beautiful Church of Santa Maria Nuova. During your stay, go for a swim, arrange a cooking class in your outdoor kitchen, and sip a glass of Brunello on the terrace as you watch the sun set.

Nearby Attractions: Explore the rolling hillsides or head south towards Umbria and bike ride around beautiful Lake Trasimeno. The estate is also near plenty of other activities: tennis courts (2km), horseback riding (2km), vineyards and wine tasting (10km).
