Description

The villa is a real jewel of Tuscan rural architecture situated in the heart of Valdichiana, just a few kilometres from Cortona (Arezzo) and near the famous Abbey of Farneta.

The small villa stands in panoramic position atop a hill and commands the surrounding corn and sunflower fields and olive groves that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The 18th-century villa owes its particular structure to the fact that in origin it was a resting place for travellers and their horses.

The country cottage has been recently renovated with an eye to preserving the original rural architectural structure, and its wide rooms are furnished with severe elegance, mixing the traditional Tuscan rustic style with the most modern comforts.

The ideal accommodation for those who want to relax in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, the villa is also an excellent departure point for one-day trips to Cortona, Montepulciano Pienza Siena Arezzo the Crete Senesi region, Val d`Orcia, Lake Trasimeno and many other towns in Tuscany and central Italy.
