Traditional Valdichiana Valley Villa with Private Pool and Sweeping Views

About this villa

This classic and captivating luxury villa rental is truly a work of art, featuring stunning old stone walls, breathtaking views, and a large garden filled with lemon trees. Nestled halfway up a hillside, guests can enjoy magnificent views of the Valdichiana valley and the town of Montepulciano, famous for its Nobile wine, as well as the distant Mount Amiata, all visible from the villa's premises. Only a short 10-minute drive away from the Etruscan hill town of Cortona, and within easy reach of Lake Trasimeno, this holiday villa offers easy access to all that Tuscany and Umbria have to offer.

Located within the estate of one of the most prominent and historic families in Tuscany, this luxury vacation rental dates back to the 14th century, when the tower, which is now the central part of the house, was built as an external defence of the city. With its rich and colourful history, including being owned by a Grandmaster of the Knights of Malta, and later serving as the birthplace of Paolino Tribbioli, a prominent Catholic clergyman who played a key role in bringing the Catholic Church to India, this villa offers a unique glimpse into the past. The current owners fell in love with this beautiful villa and renovated it in 2017 to create a luxury holiday villa. 

The interior of this luxury villa rental is both beautiful and simple, featuring the original features of the house as well as antique pieces. The ground floor boasts original clay and marble tiles, and wooden ceiling beams are exposed throughout. Guests can enjoy a cosy evening with a good book and a glass of wine in the sitting room, in front of the antique fireplace. Upstairs, the spacious and comfortable bedrooms all feature AC, while the bathrooms are adorned with travertine tiles, stone sinks, and high-quality fittings. One of the bathrooms even has a free-standing tub for ultimate relaxation.

Outside, guests can take in the terraced gardens, with green lawns and old trees providing natural shade. The outdoor patio overlooks the pool, with the Tuscan landscape serving as a stunning backdrop. This is the perfect spot to enjoy an Italian aperitivo as you watch the sunset! The holiday villa also offers easy access to the nearby charming town of Cortona and local wineries, where guests can indulge in locally produced food and wine, and live the "dolce vita".

This luxury villa rental is a perfect holiday destination for those who appreciate history, beauty, and comfort. With its stunning views, impeccable interior design, and easy access to nearby attractions, this holiday villa offers the perfect combination of luxury, relaxation, and adventure.
