A recently restored 3-storey villa set within an expansive estate on the edge of Cortona, Villa Montanina accommodates up to 12 guests across 6 bedrooms in the main house and a separate cottage, with panoramic views across the Val di Chiana and the Tuscan hills beyond. The property lies just 400 metres from Cortona's historic centre—an easy 15-minute walk—and approximately 1 hour 30 minutes from Florence Peretola Airport.
From this hillside position, the ancient streets of Cortona rise within a few minutes' stroll, their Etruscan walls, intimate piazzas, and stone-flagged lanes offering evening passeggiate with views that stretch across the valley to Lake Trasimeno and the hills of Umbria. The wine cellars of Montepulciano lie within 45 minutes for tastings of Vino Nobile, whilst Arezzo—home to Piero della Francesca's celebrated frescoes in the Basilica of San Francesco and the setting for Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful—rewards a half-day excursion; the walled hilltop town of Poppi, the Renaissance architecture of Castiglion Fiorentino, and the thermal springs of the region are all easily accessible.
The villa has been thoughtfully restored in a contemporary style, with wide windows framing the landscape and a neutral palette throughout that creates a calm, light-filled atmosphere. A spacious living room on the ground floor features comfortable sofas, a large-screen television, and a fireplace for cooler months, whilst the first floor houses a fully equipped kitchen and separate dining room; all living areas are air-conditioned. The main villa contains 4 bedrooms across the first and second floors, each with ensuite bathroom, and a separate annex provides 2 further bedrooms sharing a bathroom, along with its own open-plan kitchen and lounge—a useful arrangement for families or groups seeking a degree of independence.
A furnished panoramic terrace offers views across the valley, and an outdoor kitchen with barbecue allows for alfresco dining as the sun sets over the hills. An infinity-edge swimming pool, open from late April to mid-October, completes the outdoor spaces.
