Description:

ITALY, TUSCANY, AREZZO, CORTONA

This majestic property near Cortona is a grand, historical villa dating back to the 17th century, with breathtaking views of the world-famous Etruscan town of Cortona.

With four gated entrances protecting the property, the landscape takes you back in time with swaying golden fields, ancient olive trees and classic roman detailing.

The villa, about 1055 square meters, welcomes you with a luxurious entrance hall and 5 elegant reception / living rooms. The craftsmanship is undeniable with the newly restored original doors, wood-beam ceilings and hand-made terracotta flooring.

In one reception room there is a section of glass floor that acts as a window to the past, looking down onto the remains of the original roman villa.

On the first floor there are 5 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and three open living areas to gather with family and friends.

On the second floor you find the remaining 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and an additional open living room. Following a few stairs up you come to a finished attic that could be used as an additional bedroom, playroom or storage.

On the southwest side of the villa is the exclusive entrance to the chapel.

The grounds contain 1 hectare of land with manicured gardens, a Roman style pergola and shimmering saltwater swimming pool. There are an additional 8 hectares of surrounding fields that may also be available for purchase.

The current owner, a collector of antiques, has adorned the villa with unique pieces from throughout the centuries, an additional part of the property up for negotiation.

The property is in perfect condition, the restoration having been finished in early 2014.
