For a taste of authentic Tuscany, look no further than this former farmhouse, just a fifteen-minute drive from Cortona and less than an hour from Arezzo. The home includes two independent apartments, so it’s perfect for families staying together or those seeking more privacy. The interiors are rustic yet comfortable with plenty of original features – we loved the exposed stone and timber beams. Outside, there’s a dining terrace, a private swimming pool and loungers for soaking up the sunshine.
