At the foot of the ancient Etruscan city of Cortona, nestled in an authentically Tuscan rural landscape, stands a historic residence of great charm, already registered in the Leopoldine Cadastre of 1823. This real estate complex still preserves the character of local architectural tradition, thanks to a meticulous restoration that respected the original materials and typical features of the historic villa, while integrating modern solutions designed for hospitality. The main building, with its sober and elegant lines, reflects the typical local architectural style: exposed stone walls, regular openings, and a sloped roof with original terracotta tiles. The interiors retain antique terracotta floors, wooden beam ceilings, barrel vaults, and details evoking 19th-century charm. The spaces are distributed over several levels, for a total surface of nearly 1,000 sqm, including reception halls, common areas, and bedrooms. Adjacent to the villa are several service buildings, also restored and integrated into the overall functionality of the relais. A small building facing the villa houses offices and storage rooms, while in the basement, over approximately 120 sqm, there are laundry facilities, ironing room, pantry, staff changing rooms, a caretaker’s room, and storage areas. Despite their technical function, these spaces were designed with care and allow for orderly and efficient management of the property. The estate includes 15 bedrooms, all restored with attention to detail: terracotta floors, wooden beam ceilings, and Tuscan-style furnishings are complemented by modern amenities, creating refined yet welcoming spaces. The different room types allow for flexible hospitality options, making the property suitable both as a private residence and as a high-level hospitality business. Surrounding the buildings are over 5.5 hectares of land, including a private park, top-quality olive groves, a vineyard, and arable land. The gardens are meticulously maintained, with paths, hedges, and green areas creating an elegant and harmonious environment. The 20 x 10-meter swimming pool, perfectly integrated into the landscape, offers an ideal space for relaxation and enhances the touristic appeal of the property. The estate is in excellent condition: the historic buildings have been restored using high-quality materials, respecting original construction techniques, and are now fully functional. The property is ideal both as a prestigious private residence—perfect for hosting a large family or serving as a luxurious second home—and as a hospitality business ready to be operated as a relais, boutique hotel, or charming country house. An additional distinctive feature of this property is the presence of a private golf practice area with a personal hole, currently unused but easily restorable. This adds significant value and makes the property especially appealing for international use, offering a unique opportunity to combine hospitality and sport in an exclusive setting. For its features, location, and potential, we consider this residence one of the most interesting and high-potential opportunities in the area. A property that is not just a real estate investment, but a home that blends memory and modernity, prestige and functionality, in the heart of one of Italy’s most enchanting destinations.
