Situated a scenic, ten-minute stroll from Cortona, this villa is the ideal setting for sampling life in Tuscany. The walled town’s rich history and traditional restaurants are within close reach, and the rest of the region is easy to explore by car. As for the house, it’s characterful and comfortable (if a little rustic in parts), while outside the swimming pool invites leisurely laps while admiring the scenery. If you’re looking for an authentic Tuscan experience, where you can embrace a slower pace, this is a charming option.

Home truths
While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The accommodation here is set across the main house, which has four bedrooms, and a separate annexe which has two bedrooms.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
One loveable dog usually lives at this home. He won't be around during your stay, although you may encounter him in the grounds. This means this home may not be suitable for people with severe allergies.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
While the town centre is within walking distance, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Parking is available.
Two well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
