Tuscany has it all – seaside and countryside, food and wine, cities and small towns. The beautiful Cortona countryside is quintessentially Italian, with rolling hills, cypress trees, and lovely vineyards. Tuscany is famous for its food and wine, and thanks to the abundance of the local sangiovese grapes, known for its Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino.

Villa Accomodations

Enjoy a 7-night stay for up to four people in a 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa in the Cortona countryside, including daily chef-prepared breakfast. Surrounded by olive groves and overlooking the peaceful valley of Valdichiana, you’ll experience the best of both worlds with an ideal location for a private getaway within a short distance to the town of Cortona. The outdoor terrace offers beautiful views and a perfect spot for barbecues and dining al fresco. The garden and private swimming pool allow guests to relax under the Tuscan sun.

This charming Tuscan villa has maintained many of its authentic original features without compromising modern comfort. Amenities include air conditioning, heating, WIFI access, satellite TV, daily maid service and a washing machine.

This package is for a Saturday-Saturday stay for up to four people; upgrades to a larger villa may be available for a fee if you wish to bring additional guests.
