Nonno Fernando is a farm built entirely of stone whose origins date back approximately to the early 19th century. In the recent renovation of the farm, the current owners have preserved the original design of the distribution of the various rooms. For the renovation of the farm, recycled materials were used both for the roofs and for the floors, covered in Tuscan terracotta. In addition, the exposed chestnut wood beams have been preserved. The farm is located in the lush Tuscan countryside, a few minutes from the seductive medieval town of Cortona, perched on a steep hill overlooking the Val di Chiana and Lake Trasimeno. The convenience of its location, well connected to the main road junctions and well served by the national railway network, represents a significant advantage for organizing excursions to the many surrounding villages and for visiting the main cities of Umbria and Tuscany. All this, enriched by the numerous high-quality food and wine proposals handed down by the Tuscan culinary tradition, with the unmistakable simple but intense flavors of typical dishes.

This imposing property, which underwent its most recent renovation in 2014, comprises a main manor house and 2 charming outbuildings — an old tobacco drying kiln and a former communal bread oven once used by the sharecropper families of the estate — all seamlessly transformed into an elegant and welcoming retreat near Cortona.

Podere Bagnolo is a typical Tuscan farmhouse that has been renovated, retaining its rural origin as an old farmer's home. It is part of a large agricultural estate and is reached along a dirt road from where you can see animals grazing and the cultivated fields of the property. Entirely clad in stone, the traditionally Tuscan interior of the farmhouse is rustic and very cosy with the added comfort of modern accessories: fully air-conditioned, it has four large bedrooms with private bathroom. The well-kept garden surrounding it, from where you can admire beautiful sunsets from the exclusive pool just a few steps from the entrances, stands in the quiet of the most authentic Tuscan countryside and surrounded by the hills of the Val D'Orcia, south of Siena. Situated in a hilly position, the property is a short distance away from the wonderful Renaissance towns of Pienza (13 km) and Montepulciano (5 km) and just 5 minutes from captivating Monticchiello, with its structure of typical medieval fortified borgo and sentinel, from its high dominant position, of wonderful panoramic views. The farmhouse is the ideal starting point for embarking on various itineraries: dedicated to wellness in the renowned spas in the vicinity (Bagno Vignoni, Chianciano Terme, Montepulciano, San Casciano dei Bagni), to art and quality cuisine in the well-known towns that dot the province of Siena, such as Montalcino, San Quirico d'Orcia, Castiglion d'Orcia, or to go towards Monte Amiata or the region of Chianti.

Set in the green territories of the Valdichiana Aretina, guardians of ancient medieval borghi, thousand-year old traditions, archaeological sites and natural resources, is Villa Mimmina, an elegant residence that was built in the 70s within a secluded park embellished with rich vegetation and a golf driving range. Set in a strategic position, just a few minutes from the city of Arezzo, the property combines the tranquillity of a country house with the comfort of a city villa. On just one floor, the elegant layout has been carefully and tastefully planned to enhance the livability and functionality. Alluring rooms (all with air conditioning), simply finished and arrayed with high-quality antiques that blend with choice modern accessories and prestigious tapestries, define the aesthetics. Heart of the house are the brightly-lit living rooms, where a happy play of large glass windows duet harmoniously with the paved patio outside, among roses and ornamental plants, dominated in the centre by the captivating swimming pool, a wonderful spot for moments of leisure and conviviality and which, at sunset, becomes the absolute protagonist in this dreamy scenario. The property is located about 1 km from the town of Pieve al Toppo, with restaurants, bars and a supermarket, and 5 km from the Autostrada del Sole for easy access to the main art cities of Tuscany and Umbria.
