Accommodation in Tuscany, Vacation Rentals in Cortona

Immersed in the wonderful Cortona country side, between cultivated fields and the ancient Tuscan Dukedom (the Leopoldine) houses sits Casa Grande, looking out onto the immensity of the Val di Chiana. This unforgettable villa is situated in such a way that sun strikes it from sunrise to sunset, bathing it in the warm golden glow of magical Tuscan light that has inspired artists from the time of Leonardo da Vinci. There are 2 independent cottages (Casa Grande and Casa Piccola) both with private pools and private garden, situated inside the owner's property, surrounded by a large park full of plants, trees and flowers The two cottages can be rented separately or together for a group up to 8 people. When rented to different parties, complete privacy is granted by shrubs and a fence. Both accommodations are very comfortable. The nearest village with shops, restaurants and services is Foiano della Chiana 5 km or about 2 and a half miles. Cortona, which is a large town boasting wonderful art and architecture as well as all modern services is 15 km or just over 9 miles. The terrace leads straight on to the lawn and is equipped with BBQ, table and chairs. The house is within the same estate as the owners residence and shares the entrance way and parking facility but is independent with it's own private, hedged garden area and private pool.
