Property Details

High on a hilltop near Cortona on the eastern edge of Tuscany, Villa
Cuiano is a sprawling farmhouse with marvellous panoramic views of
the Niccone Valley and the distant mountains of Umbria.


The farmhouse has been divided into 5 apartments anda a detached
stone house, each decorated in traditional Tuscan style. Stone
fireplaces, cotta floors and dark chestnut-beamed ceilings lend an
authentic, welcoming air to the accommodation. These are comfortable
flats, with good lighting and simple, classic furnishings.



The house lies in extensive gardens and has a large, well-kept
swimming pool. Furnished with tables and chairs, and equipped with a
barbecue and oven, the garden is perfect for al fresco meals in the
long summer months. Walkers and nature lovers can take advantage of
the many tracks and paths that wind through the surrounding
countryside, even strolling down to the Castello di Pierle - owned by
the same family as the Villa, and one of Tuscany's most striking
castles.



The nearest village is Mercatale di Cortona, with facilities
including shops, bars, medical facilities, a restaurant and bank.
