Inspirited with traditional Tuscan charm, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t a teeny bit in love with this villa. There’s something for everyone here – a sparkling, private pool, a cosy fireplace, furnished garden – and all nestled within the luscious hills of Cortona. The surrounding olive trees and vineyards lend a postcard–perfect backdrop, while the crystal–clear waters of the pool present the ideal spot for a refreshing dip. We challenge you to resist its temptation on those hot, Tuscan afternoons. Grab a glass of chilled white wine before dipping your toes into the cool water. Fully equipped with all the cosy home comforts you could wish for, we wouldn’t blame you if the furthest you went was to the local grocery store for pasta and tomatoes, but if you do feel like traversing the sights, there are some fabulous biking and walking routes nerarby. The Palazzo Tommasi is just 750m away, while Porta Montanina is 3km away.
