Immersed in the countryside surrounding Cortona, this Hollywood-scene villa is the ideal location to indulge in the Italian dolce vita. Once the setting of the Diane Lane’s famous movie Under The Tuscan Sun, Villa Cortona is now a luxury rental villa in Tuscany, painstakingly restored to offer spacious retreats that can accommodate up to 20 guests.
Gardens and olive groves embrace the villa’s private swimming pool and jetted jacuzzi from where you can enjoy the views of sun-dappled hills. Al fresco dining areas, gas grill and authentic stone pizza oven are the ingredients for memorable evenings spent enjoying the local delicacies, whether cooked by the guests or by one of our professional chefs. The game room is the perfect place for entertaining children and adults alike, with billiards, board games and ping pong – the ideal large villa rental for a multi-generational holiday!
The ten en suite bedrooms are spread over three building and every room has a beautiful view over the gardens up to Cortona or over the olive groves and across the valley. All bedrooms are fitted with air conditioning, hair dryers, a selection of luxurious natural Italian products, bathrobes, slippers and sheets of the highest quality Egyptian cotton for the most comfortable experience.
Set just outside the walls of the vibrant village of Cortona and within a few minutes’ walk of its charming centre, the location couldn’t be more perfect to explore both Tuscany and Umbria. The many charming towns of the Val d’Orcia such as Montepulciano, Pienza and Montalcino, are all within a short drive away allowing for easy day trips. From wine and cheese tasting, to horse riding and farm activities; from music festival and open-air concerts to splendid churches and museums, there is something to satisfy every taste.
