podere marilena, 6 pax villa rental, cortona and val di chiana (tuscany)

The lovely Podere Marilena is an ancient, stone farmhouse recently restored and situated very close to the small village of Cantalena. The old village is about 15 km away from Cortona and Castiglion Fiorentino, two famous medieval towns in the lower Valdichiana valley. Cantalena, 600 mt over the sea level, can by reached by a panoramic, mountain road (approximately 3 km long), which is not suitable for sports cars.

The cozy furniture reminds of Tuscan tradition and fits perfectly with the pleasant atmosphere of the house. Guests will enjoy a relaxing holiday in a beautiful villa and can decide whether to go for a walk through untouched nature or explore the many interesting villages and towns close by.

The property is completely fenced off and will therefore also be perfect for your four-legged friends.
