Villas near Cortona

Luxury villas with Private pools · 23 years of experience · Concierge service

Cortona, with its walls that are still intact, sits in a strategic position, commanding the valley that leads south into Umbria and towards Rome. The countryside in this part of Tuscany varies dramatically from soft rolling hills to steep mountains with unspoilt villages hidden amongst small and private valleys. Here you can find farmhouses dating back over 600 years. We have a castle, La Rocca, that is fully staffed and run as a hotel that has been owned by the same family for over 1000 years. Some of our villas near Cortona are far smaller but as a rule they all enjoy a private pool and our concierge service can arrange extra maids and cooks should there be a need in any of our houses. Let us use our 21 years of experience and contact our sales team, put to us your preferences and we shall advise you which of our villas might be ideal for your needs.

Try searching by Villa type, size or by location. Even better, contact one of our experienced sales team on +44 207 684 8884 and get some experienced advice.

Cortona

The Valdichiana - valley of the Chiana river - runs southwards from Arezzo, past Cortona and Montepulciano, to the little town of Chiusi. 16th century drainage projects transformed this erstwhile swamp into Tuscany’s bread-basket, most notably as the traditional pastures of the famous chianina beef cattle (many of which are now raised in the Maremma and Spain). In point of fact, this was the second time the valley had been cleaned up: the Etruscans built the first set of canals almost 2,000 years earlier, but their work was eradicated during the years of turmoil and neglect that intervened.
