A beautiful Tuscan Villa dated back to 17th century located on the slopes of Cortona, one of the oldest hill towns in Tuscany and is featured in Francis Mayes book " Under the Tuscan Sun", later made into a movie.
It is near Arezzo in Tuscany, in the centre of the ‘golden triangle’ of some of the most important artistic sites in central Italy; Arezzo, Perugia, Siena, as well as Assisi and Florence that are just a short journey away. Enclosed in a park of 8 hectares with cypresses and oak trees, it offers its guests a dimension of peace and quiet, while ensuring various possibilities of leisure just a few Kilometers away. Once used as a summer residence of a noble Cortona family, today the villa has maintained its great charm after a skillful restoration.

On the ground floor of the Villa there is a beautiful hall with its original decorative elements derived from seventeenth-century altars and a breakfast room.

Its fifteen beautiful ensuite bedrooms spread over the main building and the annex and are tastefully furnished with precious well coordinated antiques and fabrics. Different in shape, design and size, they have a magical atmosphere, recalling the charm of past times.
