Little Borghis Cortona, Tuscany

Property Description

Flanked by Tuscany's postcard-perfect cypress trees and commanding magnificent views of the rolling hills and vineyards beyond, the setting for this farmhouse villa would be hard to beat.

Spend lazy mornings exploring nearby Cortona, one of the oldest Etruscan towns in the region (a sixteen-minute drive). Or discover the little borghis (that's little villages to us) perched in the hillsides surrounding this home.

When it's time to cool off from the Tuscan sun, head back home to while away an afternoon beside the pool, enclosed by vineyards and olive trees. Set within a fifteen-hectare farm estate, the owners produce an exceptional extra virgin olive oil and a mean Syrah and Sangiovese, which they'll happily invite you to sample in the wine cellar adjacent to the house. The perfect accompaniments for evening barbecues on the vast outdoor terrace, wouldn't you agree?

Group of friends or families sharing will love how spaced out this home feels, with a separate annex to sleep two – perfect for those wanting that little extra privacy. While upstairs in the main house, the cool, lofty bedrooms invite a blissful night's sleep in their comfortable beds. And you'll love waking up to those views of the Tuscan hills each morning.
