Villa Scaldasole

Tuscany - Cortona-Arezzo - Cortona

Villa Scaldasole is a typical stone farmhouse secluded in its own private estate of about 1 hectare of silvery olive groves and grassy lawns gently unfolding to the swimming pool with panoramic views down the Cortona valley.

The original house has been painstakingly renovated into a very spacious home with a modern, large and well equipped kitchen, a dining room with adjacent living room and seven bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The villa is within walking distance of the hilltop town of Cortona with its famous historic centre, alive with wine bars, cafes and restaurants. In the warmth of summer, there is no better place to be than the broad (flat) promenade that circles Cortona with its fragrant gardens and shady trees.

Description

Villa Scaldasole, recently renovated to a very high standard, is set in a landscape of splendid rolling countryside, overlooking the Cortona valley, stretching from Lake Trasimeno to Valdichiana. The villa is ideal for family holidays and offers complete comfort including ADSL internet and air conditioning with the option of having an in-house cook prepare meals and clean up afterwards.

Nicely decorated by its present owners, the villa features beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and stylish lightings and fittings. The rooms have been furnished with a blend of modern and antique Tuscan pieces. The rooms at ground floor open to ample outside sitting areas and a pergola with large table for alfresco dining.

Outside the villa a large lawn with some lovely shady trees leads down to a very panoramic spot where it is possible to see the whole valley. Underneath is a small annex  with a double bedroom and en-suite bathroom and the swimming pool (4m x 8m) area, which also enjoys broad views over the valley.

This is a very relaxing holiday choice due to the autonomy of guests to choose between the complete serenity of the villa and the more lively centre of Cortona that is only 15 minutes away by foot.

A brief note advising that the entrance driveway passes through a narrow section for which large people movers are not advisable unless driven by experienced drivers. There is abundant parking at the villa.
