A modern villa Cortona

Her holiday villa with private pool is located in the hills of the beautiful Etruscan town of Cortona. Nice and quiet and at the same time nearby typical Tuscan towns and cities. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms there is enough space and privacy for a 6 persons. A large family or three couples.

The recently restored villa appears elegant, light and rustic at the same time. Since the villa is built out of Tuscan stone, it’s nice and cool during summertime and remains comfortable when enjoying nice evenings in front of the fireplace together in spring or autumn. Just inside de automatic gate we find private parking and outdoor laundry facilities. ‘You see how my villa is surrounded by the green hills of Tuscany, guaranteeing a relaxing panoramic view?’, smiles Angela as we walk down the stairs to the villa’s private swimming pool. The sundeck with sunbeds and an outdoor shower is surrounded by the spacious garden with a gazebo, a table and a barbecue. This is where guests spend most of their time.
