Whether you're splashing about in the private pool, admiring the Tuscan scenery from the patio or dining on Italian delicacies in the setting sun, this charming villa is the perfect place to call home. Inside, every room oozes traditional character – stone walls here, wooden-clad ceilings there – creating a cosy, comfortable sanctuary. Each floor has its own sitting area and kitchen, making it ideal for groups wanting plenty of privacy and space to spread out. The garden offers postcard-worthy views as soon as you step outside – and there are oodles of spots to sit back with a glass of wine and take it all in. Dish up lunch under the shade of the age-old trees before sprawling out on the loungers for a poolside afternoon snooze. When the sun begins to set, make a beeline for the terrace to watch the entire countryside glow golden. Location-wise, you're only a fifteen-minute walk from Cortona. Soak up the Etruscan history and admire the town's medieval architecture, then take a break from sightseeing and enjoy a meal in the local eateries. Your host can also arrange experiences like wine tastings, tours and hot air balloon rides – all excellent options if you fancy... something extra special.
