Antica Villa di Cortona (20 pax)

Tuscany: Cortona and Val di Chiana

Last update: Apr 22, 2012
Antica Villa di Cortona
Property Description

Antica Villa di Cortona is an exclusive 18th century property with a stunning view to the Trasimeno Lake and the Etruscan town of Cortona.

The building stands on what was once the border between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal States and a smuggling area. The conservative renovation has not prevented the house from being made warm and hospitable, extremely comfortable and liveable. The frescoes, painted vaults, majestic entrance hall and, in particular, the decor enfold the visitor in an unreal, timeless atmosphere.

Every room has been meticulously decorated, exclusively with antique furniture, the result of a patient and targeted research on the part of the owners without, however, renouncing all modern comforts: LCD television sets, stereo, internet and fully equipped gym.

Our guests can count on the owner's disposal who lives in a outbuilding of the villa with an independent entrance.

The strategic position of the villa allows guests to organize pleasant excursions to Lake Trasimeno or to reach the nearby historical centres of Cortona, Montepulciano, Pienza, Chiusi, just a few kilometres away, as well as the famous art cities of Siena, Florence, Perugia and Roma.

The exterior of the villa is well maintained and pleasant, the pool is set in the centre of a garden-park characterized by the lake climate, always mild and breezy, and by plants of rare beauty. All around are oak woods, every kind of local flora and fauna, in respect of the nineteenth century tradition that liked to mix English and Italian styles. The park is completed by a splendid period lemon-house, a solarium, an antique gazebo and the splendid gushing fountain of the same period.

POOL
The pool is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. It is only a few metres from the house, in a slightly lower position and is easily reached from the garden down a slight slope. Privacy is guaranteed by a laurel hedge which separates the solarium area from the rest of the park. The pool is ten-sided and is provided with a ladder to enter the water and a cold water shower. It measures 10 x 5 m with a constant depth of 1.25 m. It is lined with PVC and the border and solarium area are in parquet.
