Creator: Le Figaro Properties

Prestigious 16th-century aristocratic villa for sale on the hills of Cortona, in the heart of the Val di Chiana, nestled in a setting of absolute privacy just minutes from the historic center. The property extends over approximately 3 hectares of private land and comprises over 1,850 square meters of interior space distributed between the main villa, outbuildings, and reception rooms, offering up to 20 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, numerous reception rooms, frescoed rooms, and a cellar. Surrounded by a magnificent centuries-old park with an Italian garden, olive grove, and orchard, the estate's exterior facades have recently been restored, offering a rare opportunity to experience authentic Tuscany in a residence of extraordinary historical, artistic, and landscape value.
THE CONTEXT
This residence is set in one of Tuscany's most authentic locations: the area surrounding the town of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo, renowned for its millennia-old history and the picture-perfect landscapes of the Val di Chiana. Its strategic location means it's just minutes away from renowned destinations such as Montepulciano and Montalcino, renowned for their wine production, and the enchanting Lake Trasimeno. The surrounding countryside, dotted with cypress trees, olive groves, and vineyards, offers a setting of rare beauty for those seeking a private retreat yet perfectly connected to the region's main cultural and artistic centers.
THE HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY
The estate's main building dates back to the 16th century and is a magnificent example of noble Tuscan architecture, subsequently expanded during the 19th century. For centuries the residence of important aristocratic families, the villa still retains the charm and prestige of the region's great historic homes.
The original Napoleonic-era frescoes decorating the private chapel, the lemon house, and numerous rooms on the main floor were restored in 2023, bringing back the original magnificence of the spaces. The conservative restoration project enhanced every historical detail while maintaining the materials, proportions, and atmosphere intact.
THE VILLA AND THE INTERIORS
An elegant tree-lined avenue leads to the residence. The ground floor, accessible via two independent entrances, features large reception rooms, two studies, a kitchen with a fireplace, a pantry, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The main rooms are embellished with ornate ceilings and original architectural features that lend the rooms a refined and timeless character.
Also on the ground floor is the charming private chapel, one of the property's most prestigious spaces, entirely decorated with historic frescoes. The first floor houses the sleeping area with several bedrooms and spacious bathrooms, while the second level features additional bedrooms, bathrooms, and a large, richly decorated living room. The panoramic tower, located on the top floor, features a veranda and a terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside.
Among the property's most charming spaces is the ancient frescoed orangery, an elegant, light-filled reception space with a strong visual impact. Its size and location make it perfect for private receptions, exclusive events, tastings, or the creation of a refined restaurant.
The large basement cellar retains its original stone structure and is ideal for storing wines, as a display space, or as a reception area. The complex also includes a caretaker's lodge of approximately 45 square meters and an additional independent building of approximately 115 square meters.
THE EXTERIORS AND THE PARK
The villa's grounds extend over approximately 3 hectares and provide a captivating landscape. Manicured lawns, monumental trees, wooded areas, and productive agricultural areas blend harmoniously with the residence's architecture.
The olive grove, fruit orchard, tree-lined arable land, and irrigated vegetable garden further enhance the property's authentic character. Two wells ensure a constant water supply and make it particularly easy to build a panoramic swimming pool or additional wellness amenities.
The presence of a natural helicopter landing pad, already used in the past, represents a further element of exclusivity and convenience for private travel.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Thanks to its substantial real estate, layout, and the presence of independent outbuildings, the property is ideal for a boutique hotel, a charming relais, or an exclusive wellness resort. The extensive outdoor spaces also allow for the creation of a spa, tasting areas, high-end dining, and luxury hospitality services, further enhancing the estate's investment potential.
Living in this historic residence means immersing yourself in a daily experience of harmony, beauty, and authenticity, surrounded by the light and landscapes of authentic Tuscany. It is the ideal place for those looking to purchase a prestigious residence, make a valuable investment, or develop an exclusive hospitality business in the heart of one of Italy's most sought-after regions.

The olive grove, tree-lined arable land, orchard and irrigated vegetable garden enhance the authenticity of the rural setting. Two wells ensure a constant supply of water, which would also be perfect for the construction of a swimming pool. The presence of a natural helicopter landing pad, already used in the past, offers a further possibility for exclusive transport links.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Immersed in one of the most fascinating rural settings in central Italy, in a dominant and extremely private position, among the rolling hills on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, stands this magnificent estate of approximately 350 hectares: an authentic jewel that encompasses all the charm of the past and the comfort of contemporary life. Once an ancient medieval fortress overlooking the valley below, the estate is today a refined stone hamlet, finely restored with care and respect for local traditions. Composed of seven independent apartments and two elegant private villas characterized by exposed wooden beams, stone fireplaces and timeless architectural details. The hamlet is framed by lush gardens, vine-shaded porticoes, a panoramic infinity pool and spectacular views of the Umbrian hills, offering an exclusive and evocative atmosphere, perfect not only for relaxing stays but also for memorable events in a fairytale setting. INTERNAL COMPOSITION The main residence, an elegant manor house dating back to the 16th century, dominates the village with its sober grandeur. Inside it hosts 4 refined independent apartments, while on the ground floor, in addition to a charming entrance, a large living room with fireplace and dining room, there is a generous reception area with a glass veranda overlooking a breathtaking panorama: green hills, open skies and silence. A few steps from the villa, other buildings make up the setting of this private village: a second farmhouse with three independent apartments, a third independent cottage on two levels with a rustic and welcoming feel, and a fourth structure with large spaces, including a three-bedroom apartment, ancient cellars, a wood-burning oven area and a shaded outdoor dining area immersed in the quiet. The residential complex is completed by a fifth villa, located in a more private position and recently renovated, perfect for guaranteeing independence or welcoming guests with the utmost discretion. The village is further enriched by approximately 1,600 square meters of buildings: among these a farmhouse to be redeveloped, 4 ruins full of charm, rustic annexes and two warehouses, one of which with a 20 kW photovoltaic system that combines tradition and sustainability. STATE AND FINISHES The interiors of the renovated farmhouses reflect an impeccable balance between architectural sobriety and details of historical value, modern comforts combined with original materials. The ceilings with exposed wooden beams, the terracotta or oak parquet floors recall elegant, warm and welcoming atmospheres. The bright and well-distributed rooms offer exciting views of the surrounding landscape, giving a sense of quiet and harmony. OUTDOOR SPACES The park is a landscape work in itself: ornamental plants, green glimpses, shaded areas and flowery areas alternate like in a painting. The panoramic swimming pool, with an infinity edge, dominates the valley and is flanked by a solarium area designed for the most exclusive relaxation. The land, the true protagonists of the landscape, includes a productive olive grove with over 2,000 trees, which guarantees an average annual yield of about 6,000 liters of high-quality extra virgin olive oil, an authentic expression of the Umbrian land. The property is completed by cultivable fields, a precious centuries-old chestnut grove and large woods. Water, a rare and precious resource, is provided by natural sources, three wells and five artificial lakes. The estate also enjoys a regional concession for the management of a hunting reserve that extends over 700 hectares, including land owned by third parties: a rare privilege for true connoisseurs. USES AND POTENTIAL This magnificent estate lends itself to a multiplicity of visions, all united by a very high level of exclusivity. It can become a private residence of rare beauty, a place to retreat to the quiet of nature...

Only minutes from the historic centre, in one of Tuscany's most evocative and timeless landscapes, this remarkable historic estate represents a rare opportunity to restore and personalise a truly irreplaceable property.

Approached via a picturesque cypress-lined driveway, guests are welcomed by a grand ornamental water tub and beautifully restored gardens that immediately evoke the romance and elegance of Tuscany's great historic residences. To the rear of the villa lie the estate's historic ancillary buildings, including the private chapel, the farmhouse, storage buildings, stables, and a magnificent oak-lined avenue perfectly aligned with the main entrance drive, extending gracefully towards the northern boundary of the property. Particularly noteworthy is the fully restored 19th-century limonaia of 240 sqm, where historic architectural character has been elegantly combined with refined contemporary design.

Nowdays the 10ha (25 acres) are divided in 6 ha of woodland, 1 ha of olive groves and 3 ha of arable land.
