Description

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only - CIR CODE: 051017LTN0069). The villa is set in the formidable scenery of the hilly Cortona countryside, less than ten minutes from one of the most beautiful and fascinating towns in Tuscany, surrounded by the brilliant nature of the Val d'Esse, an area east of Cortona full of churches, archaeological sites and Renaissance villas, stretching along the river of the same name that extends as far as Umbria. Its structure has preserved intact the charm of typical Tuscan rural houses, built as a farm at the end of the 19th century, with the original terracotta-vaulted ceilings with cork beams and other classical architectural elements, such as the large fireplace in the living room. The renovation has equipped the interior with cosy bedrooms, renovated bathrooms and a spacious living area with a rustic kitchen. Surrounded by the silvery foliage of a sea of olive trees, the fully-equipped garden with living areas for relaxing outdoors, and the panoramic swimming pool with a wonderful view over the peaceful green surrounding countryside, guarantee unforgettable moments of peace and relaxation in an intimate and secluded atmosphere. From the property, nearby shopping centres and main road links are within easy reach, and you can undertake numerous itineraries in the pursuit of culture, typical gastronomy and art towards the major cities of Tuscany, such as Siena, Florence and Arezzo, but also of nearby Umbria, such as Perugia, Assisi and Orvieto. Short trips will take you to the famous rural borghi around Siena, such as San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino in the Val d’Orcia and to the magnificent area of Chianti.
