Immersed in the rolling Tuscan hills, at the foot of the beautiful Etruscan town of Cortona, we are in front of Villa Il Sasso, a majestic and luxurious property that, from its elevated position, dominates the surrounding valley and gazes towards the top of the hill where the beautiful Cortona lies.
The recently renovated villa was built entirely of stone and is located within a large and well-kept garden full of plants and flowers of many species. Its position makes it the ideal place to discover the most beautiful cities of Tuscany and Umbria such as Cortona, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Perugia, Assisi, Pienza, Florence and many others, all reachable in less than an hour by car or train.
The outdoor areas are large and cared for in every detail. The property is completely fenced, has an entrance with electric gate and covered parking. In front of the villa you will have at your disposal a beautiful pergola equipped with a large table and chairs ideal for al fresco dining. Next to the pergola you will also have a nice built-in barbecue, very comfortable and functional in its use.
The swimming pool (10 x 5 meters, minimum height 1.20 meters - maximum 1.80 meters, fenced and protected by an entrance gate, open from 30 April to 30 September) is perfectly exposed to the sun throughout the day and is complete with deckchairs, umbrellas and outdoor shower. From the swimming pool, the view over the city of Cortona and the surrounding landscape is enchanting.
Villa Il Sasso, despite its private and quiet location, allows you to walk to the center of Camucia, a location full shops.
The interiors of Villa Il Sasso (450 sqm) are taken care of in every detail, a beautiful mix of classic Tuscan style and modern elements. Each space is bright and its furniture is of great value and charm. The beautiful ceilings with exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors and wooden parquet floors truly stand out in this property.
