Nestled in the timeless landscape of rolling hills coated with olive groves, vineyards, oak and chestnut tree forests, lies the Villa Cortona, an attractive and spacious country house dating back to the 15th century. Situated not far from Lago Trasimeno, Lake Trasimene, it commands wonderful views across the Chiana valley and one can also make out the silhouette of Cortona, one of the most ancient cities in Italy built on a long hillside with narrow winding streets covering the steep slopes and famous for its Etruscan remains.

Restoration work on the building began during the 90s and was supervised and monitored by the owner himself who was personally dedicated to maintaining the architecture and preserving the original character of the house and paid particular attention to details. Thus creating a harmonious blend of old and new. The original wooden beamed ceilings and hand finished tiles on the roof also date back to the 15th century.

The villa is divided into 2 properties on 3 floors:

- The Villa (1st and 2nd floor)
- An Apartment (ground floor)

The entire property can also be rented for sole private use. The accommodation has central heating and there is a gas metre on each floor.

The house and interior are exquisitely decorated with artwork from the owners private collection, including paintings and antique pieces of furniture from around the world where the owner himself has lived or travelled; a rare collection of African Tribal artwork, antique textiles from south America, authentic and original decorations. These art treasures follow the strict decor of the house blended together with modern pieces of furniture designed and made by the owner himself.

GARDEN
The garden and terrace blend beautifully with the surrounding countryside and offer many opportunities for enjoying the lovely Tuscan climate and taking life at a rural Italian pace while admiring the wonderful panoramic views of the gentle sloping Tuscan hills. A large stone barbeque with a handmade iron hood is available for enjoying outside dining.

SWIMMING POOL
The 5m x 10m large swimming pool (90cm -140cm deep) is situated close to the olive groves and boasts lovely views overlooking the Chiana valley. Sun beds and reclining chairs are available for guests use with umbrellas and large oak trees providing shade.

TRADITIONS
The grapes and olives are usually harvested in September and November, when one then impatiently awaits the "Novello" wine and the freshly pressed dark green olive oil, albeit slightly bitter in taste. Sampled together with freshly toasted Tuscan bread (unsalted) straight from the oven, this makes a delicious and unforgettable experience !!
