villa allegra, 4 pax villa for rent, cortona and val di chiana (tuscany)

Villa Allegra is an old stone house that once belonged to the nearby Benedictine monastery and was used by the monks as a chestnut dryer, of which the surrounding woods are rich. Today the house has been completely restored, maintaining the characteristics of the old Tuscan farmhouse, both in the architectural features and in the furnishings, enriched with local antiques.
Just a  few kilometres away is the village of Monte San Savino, famous for its ceramics and its beautiful alleyways and buildings, offering shops, supermarkets, restaurants and services of all kinds.

Villa Allegra offers a holiday in a cosy and genuine atmosphere combining the uniqueness of a Tuscan farmhouse with the comforts of modern life such as air conditioning and Wi-Fi internet access.

To reach the house you have to drive about 1 km of unpaved road, well maintained but not recommended for sports cars; but don't let that scare you because when you get to the house you will know that it is really worth it.
