Set among olive groves and vineyards near the historic town of Cortona, Villa Amelinda is a beautifully restored Tuscan retreat full of character and modern comfort. The property offers six stylish bedrooms across two air-conditioned houses, making it ideal for extended families or groups of friends.

The main villa features traditionally arched windows, cotto floors, exposed stone and elegant wood-beamed ceilings balanced with contemporary furnishings. Its welcoming ground-floor living area flows into a modern kitchen-diner, while three en-suite bedrooms, including one on the ground floor, provide comfort and privacy.

Just behind the villa sits the charming annexe, home to three additional en-suite bedrooms and an inviting upstairs lounge with a kitchenette and fireplace—perfect for guests wanting a little extra space.

Outside, the gardens are enchanting, dotted with terracotta pots, English roses and fruit trees. A raised, enclosed swimming pool offers a peaceful haven with sun loungers, parasols and a shaded gazebo. A pergola provides a delightful setting for long al-fresco meals on warm evenings.

The villa is just 10km from Cortona, known for its medieval lanes, authentic eateries and Etruscan heritage. Prestigious wineries in Montepulciano, cultural treasures in Arezzo, and lakeside walks, watersports and boat trips at nearby Lake Trasimeno add to a wealth of day-trip possibilities.

Whether relaxing by the pool or exploring Tuscany and Umbria, Villa Amelinda promises a restorative, authentically Italian escape.
