A staircase leads from the living room to the first floor, where there are three pretty bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a bath and one with a shower. The bedrooms open onto a terrace which is furnished with table and chairs and enjoys lovely views over the Chiana valley and Lake Trasimeno can be seen on a clear day in the distance.

In the grounds close to the main villa are two separate cottages. The Winery cottage originally housed the family’s precious wine stores and has now been carefully restored and furnished in the same traditional style of the main villa. The unusual elongated living room has a kitchen area, a dining area with table and chairs, a comfortable sitting area with double sofa bed and has a light and airy atmosphere thanks to the patio doors which open directly onto the terrace at the front of the cottage. There is a spacious bedroom also opening onto the front terrace and a shower room.

The second cottage, which originally housed the villas delicately scented lemon trees for storage in the winter, has also been recently renovated and still retains many original characteristics such as the beamed ceilings and cotto floors. Its’ living room has a sitting area with settee and armchair, dining table and chairs, kitchen area and there is a double bedroom and shower room. Both the living room and bedroom have lovely arched glass patio doors opening directly onto the terrace at the front of the cottage.

The villa and cottages are immersed in lovely mature grounds with many secluded spots relaxing in the garden or by the private pool (9m x 4m), set in a charming position below and with lovely views of the valley and medieval Cortona on the hillside.
