A private, indipendent villa in the Val di Chiana, shaped by genuine Tuscan hospitality
Set in the green landscape of the Val di Chiana, just a short drive from Cortona, La Dimora di Castroncello offers a stay that feels both private and personal.
What makes this villa truly special is Elisa, the owner. Passionate about local food and deeply connected to the area, she welcomes guests with a natural ease that makes the experience feel less like a rental and more like being hosted. Whether it’s a cooking class, local recommendations, or simply a warm welcome, her presence adds a genuine, lived-in dimension to the stay.
GARDEN, POOL AND OUTDOOR LIVING
The villa is surrounded by a large, fully fenced park, with open garden spaces and a small stretch of woodland.
● Swimming pool (6 × 12 m) and large jacuzzi for relaxed afternoons
● Two gazebos and shaded areas for outdoor living
● Outdoor spaces designed for slow meals, quiet moments, and time together
During the summer months, guests can also enjoy Elisa’s vegetable garden — picking fresh tomatoes and herbs to use in their own cooking.
