If you’re in search of a traditional Tuscan escape, this home delivers a great solution. Just 10 kilometres from Cortona, this rustic sanctuary consists of three independent apartments (each with its own entrance) – making it a great option for groups and families. It’s worth noting some of the furnishings are a little dated, but you will find a peaceful garden, a private pool and a large terrace with a barbecue. Your host can also help organise a range of extra services, including cooking classes and spa treatments. From here, it’s just a short drive to local amenities, while majestic cities like Arezzo and Siena are also within easy reach.

While not all of the rooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is 10 kilometres away.
The swimming pool is only available for use between 14 May and 30th September.
