Key Highlights
- Magical location in 70 acres of exclusive private parkland, lake and woodland with amazing views of nearby medieval castle.
- Luxurious house furnished by top interior designer, with attention given to virtually every villa detail.
- Guests have access to the exclusive Ristorante alle Scuderie of Reschio Estate, a famous resort just a few minutes walk away from the villa.
- The owner is an acclaimed novelist and her book "An Italian Affair", published in 2018 and set in Italy the 1940s, uses the house as the backdrop for the book's setting - there's even a complimentary signed copy of the (one per booking).
- Pool has a cover helping to maintain the temperature which can get to 27/28 degrees in the summer. We recommend this to be done every evening to minimise the temperature loss and avoid evaporation (the pool refills with cold water so can take time to heat up).

Set in the Tuscan hills between Cortona and Mercatale, the exquisite Villa Sartino is the ideal retreat for those wishing to enjoy idyllic and peaceful surroundings in extreme comfort.
Designed and renovated by a renowned UK interior designer, Villa Sartino exudes sophistication and tranquillity. The villa enjoys lots of space both internally and externally. Large showers, wood beams, oak ceilings and stone doorways all assist in combining to create a unique, luxurious getaway.
The spacious kitchen/dining room, provides the latest equipment in elegant surroundings. Through two ancient Roman capitols you leave the kitchen and enter the large hall and from there, the double doors open onto an exquisite arched loggia. The huge table of reclaimed oak is a wonderful place to enjoy lunch and look down on the olive groves and the infinity pool below.
Each bedroom and bathroom is dedicated to comfort without losing any of the integral charm of this beautiful house. The bathrooms are characterized by the magnificent free standing baths, large walk-in showers, antique marble baths and the bedrooms by the four poster beds and antique furniture. The drawing room, a large and extremely spacious room, is furnished with a graceful and understated style. The sofas are deep and comfortable and the supremely beautiful artifacts and paintings only add to the atmosphere. The study is charming and more intimate, and the upstairs galleried sitting room with sofas is another beautiful space to retreat from the world. From two of the first floor terraces you can see castles on the distant hilltops, and it is the ideal place to sip a bellini and drink in the atmosphere.
The pool is set amongst the olive trees, sculpted into the grounds, with an infinity edge that disappears into the spectacular backdrop. Surrounded by over 70 acres of its own land, all fenced to maintain the safety of the natural environment and the protection of the animals that live within the woods, it provides the perfect backdrop for the truly idyllic holiday.
- Secluded location, not suited to guests in search of thriving night life.
- The approach to the villa is a long and windy drive up the hillside, but affords fantastic scenery with stunning views when you arrive.
- The villa, with it's extensive grounds, is perfect for intimate gatherings and weddings up to 25 guests, but is not available to host large events.
- Two extra guests may be accommodated on request only and with prior agreement with the owner. If accepted, a supplement will apply – please enquire for further information.
