A protected reserve of about 300 hectares of oak woods, chestnut groves and moorland habitat, in the mountains above Cortona (AR), between the Valdichiana, Lake Trasimeno and the Valtiberina with the typical landscapes of Piero della Francesca: it is the center of gravity between Rome, Perugia, Siena and Florence. Both houses are in stone, with a swimming pool, surrounded by greenery, but 15 km from Cortona. On the estate it is forbidden to hunt and collect flowers (there are the last examples of some almost extinct flowers) and it is crossed by the Path 50 that leads from Passignano sul Trasimeno to Chiusi della Verna (Hermitage of San Francesco). In addition, trails to do on foot or MB, with remains of a Roman paved road and breathtaking views, paths to rediscovering places and Etruscan monuments curated by the MAEC, or those leading to abandoned villages such as Tornia or unmissable eno-gastronomic itineraries. The farmhouses, in line with our philosophy, are almost zero impact and we will soon use only renewable energy. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Massage - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Dining - Chef service ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Bicycles - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 1,938 square feet ## Similar properties ![Romantic Double Room | Private spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/990000/984500/984435/84d3678f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hotel San Michele Cortona Old Town - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Breakfast available 9.0 Wonderful 273 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-21&endDate=2026-03-22&selected=984435&PinnedHotelID=984435&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37770000/37767000/37766907/1afb7483.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### City / Village Apartment in Cortona with 2 bedrooms sleeps 6 Cortona Old Town - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-21&endDate=2026-03-22&selected=37766907&PinnedHotelID=37766907&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30370000/30364100/30364053/60c57ce8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Built in 1251 yet totally remodeled in 2014- Located in Historic Cortona City Cortona Old Town - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.8 Exceptional 29 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-21&endDate=2026-03-22&selected=30364053&PinnedHotelID=30364053&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-21&endDate=2026-03-22&selected=21681937&PinnedHotelID=21681937&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=21681937,984435,37766907,30364053) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs and cats only 1 total (up to 22 lbs per pet) Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property at the number on the booking confirmation Note from host: Nel rispetto delle aree comuni e della riserva ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome Note from host: Ammessi e benvenuti.
