An aristocratic villa built during the middle 800 between the enchanting green, and the sacred silence and the infinite valley. The green, the position and the elegance made the key elements of the main complex (6 beds) and the two depandances “Villa Serenella” and “Villa Limonaia”, two beds each. This complex is situated in the Cortona hill side, where the woods of the mountains fade into olive trees surrounded by pine trees and cypresses. Protected by the high city walls, Villa Serena (250 square meters) overlooks the topmost of the huge tower of the “Palazzone”, an old rinascimental palace in front of the vast Valdichiana. The valley is surrounded by the Appennino’s mountains skyline, the massive cone of the mount Amiata, the peaks of mount Cetona, and the hills which reflect on the silver Lake Trasimeno. The elegance, along with the natural view, is possible thanks to the finely furnished interiors of the Villa. Every building is completely independent and has its own access door. The common utilities are the parking lot and the swimming pool. The city of Cortona is less than a kilometre away and is reachable even by walking, while enjoying a marvellous panoramical walk of the valley down below and the Lake Trasimeno. Swimmingpool open from 15/05 to 30/09 Enchanting cantina, restored for apartment purposes, sizes 60 square meters (20 meters long and 3 wide) where a graceful kitchen finds its place along with a living room, a bedroom with double bed and bathroom with shower. The furniture has been carefully chosen: everything styles from the ‘800, floors and ceilings are restored “cotto vecchio” tiles. This dependence offers a very comfortable and relaxing environment.
