Cortona's most prestigious property
This Villa is the kind of property that takes your breath away and has not been on the market for nearly half a millennium. The dominant 18th century façade and stunning oval lake greet you at the end of the cypress driveway.
The villa is a striking example of the architecture of the period, with simple symmetry in the building and the gardens. To one side of the villa is a 150 sqm limonaia.
The interior of the house has beautifully smooth old terracotta flooring, high frescoed ceilings, grand rooms and an overall feeling of timeless elegance.
The extensive accommodation is set over three floors, with a windowed tower section on the fourth that offers wonderful views over the lake and the estate at the front of the main house.
There is a consecrated chapel at the back of the villa. There is a separate two storey building to one side of the chapel that has been restored and offers private guest accommodation with two bedrooms. Attached to the back of the limonaia is the old stable block and hay loft. Part of this is still stable and the rest of it has been restored into further guest accommodation over two floors with two bedrooms.
