About this property

Private Estate in the heart of Tuscany with private Pool and spacious garden

The house is located 6 miles outside of Cortona, on the Tuscan/Umbrian border, near Lake Trasimeno. The house dates back to the 1700s and was originally a farmhouse. It is set a third of the way up the hill, below a forest and we have over a hundred acres in which you can roam.
The main house has 4 bedrooms with fans:
1 master bedroom with double beds,
2 twin bedrooms (they can be arranged as double),
1 single bedroom with French bed,
3 bathrooms,
a beautiful living room with books (especially for children!) and fireplace,
a charming dining room
and a fresh portico with chairs and table.
On the upper area of the garden, overlooking the hill town of Cortona, there is a large swimming pool with pool house. It is perfect for the warm summer days and to enjoy a fresh glass of Prosecco at sunset. We get enchanting colours up in the sky! The swimming pool is in a secluded position above the property and not within view of the house which allows again for an extra sense of privacy.

The separate guest house called Casa dei Nonni is
within the grounds with its own garden area and drive. It sleeps 4 very comfortably and would suit a couple on their own or with an extra guest or older child as there is an extra bedroom which is not en-suite. It also has its own kitchen and spacious living room with many books and fireplace too. Just the bedrooms of this unit are air conditioned.

What a beautiful opportunity to connect with the Tuscan countryside!
This wonderfully appointed house is a short drive to several hilltop towns with history reaching back to the Eutruscans. The local good and wine are outstanding and the views of the lake and valley make this a perfect spot to bring people together.

Great location, privacy, and relatively close to interesting places to go
Great location, privacy, and relatively close to interesting places to go. And there is lots of living space and the decor is personalised and there are lots of books and games to entertain as well as a beautiful pool.

Un petit paradis....
Excellent séjour dans cette demeure aux charmes de l'ancien mais très bien équipée. Les propriétaires ont pensé à beaucoup de petits détails qui rende le lieu très accueillant: petite épicerie dans la cuisine, linge de maison, produits ménagers...La piscine est très agréable et bien entretenue. Jardin magnifique, vue sur la colline de Cortona où se couche le soleil.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Bayntun-Coward

Host profile image
Swiss citizen grown up in Europe. I live and work with my family in the UK. I lived at "Le Volpaie" and loved this property since 1970 and I would like it to be used and enjoyed by other families. We love the house, the property and the location, surrounded by nature and with a beautiful view in the Cortona's valley, we hope you will enjoy this atmosphere during your holiday at the villa.

Why they chose this property

Bought in 1970 by my parents. It is a 400 year old farm house close to Cortona and other beautiful Tuscan/Umbrian cities to make it worth visiting all year round. One can either get away from it all and enjoy peace and tranquility of the hills, or use it as a base to visit many famous Italian cities, including Florence, Rome, Siena, Assisi, Perugia. It is within easy access of local roads, 15 minutes from train station on the main Rome to Florence line, and 20 minutes from main Rome to Florence motorway.

What makes this property unique

2 unites villa with enchanting views and absolute privacy as it is the last house up the hill. There is no light pollution so that star gazing is a wonderful past time!!
It is 6km from Cortona, a famous Etruscan hill town, with many artistic and historical attractions. The closest shops are within a mile, as well as some very good restaurants. The property is set within over 80 acres of hills and woodland and is the last property on the road so there is no passing traffic.
There is a 12m swimming pool with beautiful views over Cortona. The living space is large and comfortable. Very much a home that has been loved and looked after over the last 44 years.
