Description
The villa (10 sleeping accommodations) stands on the hills of Valdichiana, between Cortona and Montepulciano, in an area rich in history and culture. Just a few kilometres from the property lie many small towns, such as Pienza and Montalcino, renowned for their culinary specialities, but also Rapolano Terme and Chianciano Terme, with their thermal establishments, Anghiari and San Gimignano; important cities of art, such as Siena, Arezzo and Florence, are within easy car reach.
Around the villa stretch many pathways for long hikes, horse- and mountain bike-rides. A tennis club and a golf club are in the neighbourhood of the villa. Guests can also admire the whole Valdichiana from on high with a hot air balloon.
