Villa Girifalco is a characterful Tuscan retreat set in the countryside close to Cortona, offering a peaceful base for families or groups of friends looking to explore this celebrated corner of central Italy. Surrounded by greenery and enjoying panoramic rural views, the villa combines traditional charm with the practical comforts needed for a relaxed stay.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged across four bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, making Villa Girifalco particularly well suited to groups travelling together. The interiors retain a warm, welcoming feel, with comfortable living spaces and a fireplace adding character to the main sitting area. A fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for preparing meals at home, while air conditioning, Wi-Fi, satellite TV and a washing machine add everyday convenience.

Outside, the private swimming pool is the natural focal point during warmer months, surrounded by spacious gardens where guests can unwind between days out exploring Tuscany. Shaded pergolas provide welcome respite from the midday sun, while the barbecue area is ideal for relaxed lunches and dinners outdoors.

Villa Girifalco is also well placed for discovering the historic hill town of Cortona and the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Days can be spent exploring local villages, sampling regional food and wine or simply enjoying the slower pace of life back at the villa. With private outdoor space, en-suite bedrooms and an attractive countryside setting, it offers a comfortable and inviting base for a memorable stay in Tuscany.

• Villa Girifalco is set in the countryside outside Cortona, so guests should expect a peaceful rural setting rather than a town-centre location.
• The property is spread across two floors with internal stairs, which may not be ideal for guests with mobility issues. Similarly the garden is set on different levels which require special attention. 
• With four en-suite bedrooms, Villa Girifalco works particularly well for groups, although one bedroom is located in a separate annexe from the main villa.
• Please note that the staircase is open, and children should take extra care when ascending and descending the staircase, supervision is advised. 
• There are 8 sun loungers and 2 parasols available near the pool.
• While Cortona is close by, a car is essential for accessing shops, restaurants, and other local attractions due to the rural and peaceful nature of Villa Girifalco's location.
• Villa Girifalco has a traditional Tuscan feel rather than a contemporary or highly modern interior style, which is worth bearing in mind for guests seeking a more minimalist design.
