Terontola Alta is an exceptionally stylish villa set in the beautiful
Tuscan countryside near Cortona. With graceful architecture, elegant
fittings and plenty of space to unwind, it is the ideal retreat for
anyone looking for comfort, peace and a touch of luxury. A standout
feature is the private spa area which elevates the stay into a deeply
rejuvenating experience.
The village of Terontola is just a few minutes’ drive away and offers
some shops and bars. In Camucia, around six kilometres away, you will
find larger supermarkets and a wide range of additional amenities. The
delightful town of Cortona lies just ten kilometres distant. Its city
walls date from the fifth century and with attractions such as the
Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Franciscan convent Le Celle it
is very much worth a visit. Lake Trasimeno is around thirty minutes’
drive away, as are Arezzo, Siena and the UNESCO‑listed Val d’Orcia.
Thanks to the proximity of the Umbrian border, the historic towns of
Perugia and Assisi are also within comfortable reach.
The holiday home has been built from natural stone and fitted with
expansive windows that fill every room with light. Directly in front of
the large terrace with lounge seating and dining table sits the
impressive sixteen‑metre infinity pool. The house is surrounded by
lawned gardens and mature olive trees, creating a relaxing and inviting
atmosphere. The entire property has been designed with sustainability
in mind, powered by solar energy and the lush gardens are irrigated
with rain water.
Inside, Terontola Alta combines contemporary elegance with a
wonderfully calm and inviting atmosphere. Soft neutral wall colours and
the whitewashed wooden beam ceilings create a bright and harmonious
setting, while large windows fill the rooms with natural light. Stylish
designer furniture lends sophistication, while thoughtfully placed
plants and decorative details add colour, warmth and a sense of
homeliness. On the lower ground floor, a private spa with sauna and
massage room offers a peaceful sanctuary where body and mind can relax
in complete tranquillity.
