Perched among rolling hills blanketed with olive groves and vineyards, your private Tuscan villa feels like it was pulled from the pages of a storybook. Stone walls and timbered ceilings whisper of centuries past, while spacious interiors offer every modern comfort.
The Villa: Old-World Charm Meets Modern Comfort
With six elegant bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath, there is room for everyone to unwind in privacy. Gather in sunlit living spaces that open to panoramic countryside views, or step outside where a shimmering private pool and shaded al fresco dining terrace invite long afternoons of laughter and shared meals under the Italian sky. With daily housekeeping, every moment is yours to devote to the simple pleasures of food, wine, and connection.
Immersive Tuscan Experiences
Each morning begins with the aroma of fresh espresso and a chef-prepared breakfast, setting the tone for days filled with discovery and indulgence. One evening, tie on an apron for a hands-on cooking class with a private chef. Knead pasta dough, stir sauces passed down through generations, and savor the aromas filling your villa’s kitchen. When the meal is ready, gather around the table for a three-course feast and stories of Tuscan tradition — where the act of cooking becomes as memorable as the dining itself.
Tuscan Lifestyle Awaits
Just outside the medieval town of Cortona, your villa places you at the heart of Tuscany’s soul. Wander cobblestone streets lined with artisan shops, sip wine in sun-drenched piazzas, and feel history echo through Roman walls and Renaissance palaces. By day, take leisurely excursions to neighboring hill towns, family-run wineries, and centuries-old landmarks that dot the landscape like jewels. By evening, return to the embrace of your villa, where the glow of the setting sun over vineyards reminds you why Tuscany is one of the world’s most coveted destinations.
Villa stays typically run Thursday–Thursday or Saturday–Saturday, subject to availability.
