Overview
Dating back to the 15th century, this exquisite Tuscan villa is a living testament to centuries of nobility, clergy, and knights who have called it home.

Carefully restored to offer modern amenities without compromising integrity, the villa blends historic allure with contemporary comforts. From Wi-Fi to coffee machines, every modern convenience is thoughtfully incorporated without overshadowing the timeless elegance of the home.
The ground floor offers inviting living spaces, featuring a spacious living room adorned with sofas and armchairs surrounding a charming fireplace, complemented by a TV for cosy evenings. The adjoining dining area, capable of seating six, seamlessly connects to the tastefully designed wooden kitchen, fully equipped for crafting snacks, drinks, and meals.
Ascending to the first floor reveals three enchanting bedrooms. The master suite beckons with a romantic canopy bed, a welcoming sofa, and an elegant bathroom boasting a luxurious bath, shower, and double sinks. Two more beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a double bed and en-suite shower rooms, offer comfort and sophistication. At the pinnacle of the original tower, a fourth bedroom provides a retreat with a double bed and en-suite shower room.
The outdoor haven unfolds across 2.5 hectares of parkland, with 1 hectare of fenced, meticulously maintained gardens. Ancient trees, rolling lawns, and fragrant flower beds create an idyllic relaxing backdrop. Whether enjoying a book in the outdoor lounge area, savouring an al-fresco meal, or basking in the sun. On warm days, the private pool becomes the focal point, inviting you to cool off in its refreshing waters amidst the timeless charm of this historic villa.
When you wish to explore the sights and sounds of Tuscany, you have countless opportunities on your doorstep. Close to the home, you can access mountain biking, hiking and walking trails through the idyllic countryside or head out on wine tastings at family-run vineyards.
The nearest amenities are to be found in Cortona, which sits on a hilltop just 5km away. This Etruscan, walled town is a beautiful place to have so close as you can shop, dine out and explore historic attractions here.
