Description
We find Podere Marcigliano nestled in the green Valdichiana, on a gentle hill at the gates of the town of Cortona, which is a must-visit destination. First with its Etruscan and then Roman reminiscences, the town enjoyed considerable prosperity during the medieval period and from 1411 followed the glorious fortunes of the Granducato di Toscana. Its cobbled alleys that wind their way up the hill, the ancient buildings, squares and churches, will make you fall in love with this small and industrious centre of the Valdichiana of Arezzo area, a memory you will always carry in your heart in the years to come, we are sure!
In Cortona or Camucia you will find shops, supermarkets, typical restaurants and every kind of service you need.
Podere Marcigliano consists of 2 newly built villas, which nevertheless reflect the architectural characteristics of the farmhouses of the past. In the first building there are 3 apartments (Torreone, Tufa and the first floor owner’s apartment), in the second there are 2 units (Corito and Rugapiana).
Each apartment has a large green area, a beautiful swimming pool (size 7x14 m, depth 1.50 m - open from 15 May to 30 September and fully fenced), a barbecue, a laundry room in common use and children's games, and its own private area equipped with a furnished gazebo for your meals in the open air.
You will find yourself living your stay in contact with nature but still close to the major centres of Tuscany and Umbria. Its convenient location, quiet but not isolated, makes Podere Marcigliano the ideal place to spend a relaxing holiday while not being far from the major communication routes that will allow you to easily visit, even on day trips, cities of art and small charming villages, little known jewels of the Central Italian countryside.
Podere Marcigliano is also the ideal structure for off-season stays, during the winter and Christmas period, when the town of Cortona is transformed with the thousands of lights of the characteristic Christmas markets and Santa' House. Podere Marcigliano

Property Summary
Nestled on a gently rolling hill in the heart of Tuscany, Casale dei Girasoli is an exceptional vacation rental that offers an unforgettable retreat in one of Italy's most celebrated landscapes. Located in the province of Cortona, Italy, this magnificent historic farmhouse dates back to the end of the 17th century and was originally inhabited by a large family of peasants who cultivated the fertile lands surrounding it, particularly devoted to olive growing. Carefully restored with full respect for its original structure, the property preserves its authentic character through the retention of original bricks, exposed beams, and terracotta flooring, all of which contribute to the warm, familial atmosphere that defines this extraordinary estate. Casale dei Girasoli comprises a main house and a separate annex, together offering generous living spaces designed to satisfy every comfort and need. The grounds feature a stunning non-heated swimming pool set just 7 metres from the villa, a vast and beautifully maintained yard bordered by characteristic cypress trees and dotted with olive and fruit trees, and ample private parking for guests.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Tavarnelle Val Di Pesa, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Country House Lo Spigo is a charming and meticulously restored vacation rental that captures the authentic spirit of the Chianti countryside. Originally an 19th century barn, this traditional Tuscan country house sits at 405 metres above sea level and was thoughtfully acquired and completely renovated by its current owner, who preserved the original character of the structure, including its distinctive window ventilation grilles and wooden ceiling beams, while introducing beautiful oak floors, air conditioning, and well-appointed living spaces. The property is enveloped by a generous garden of approximately 1,200 square metres, where olive trees, lavender bushes, and fragrant rosemary create a serene and picturesque setting. A private parking area is conveniently located in front of the house, accessible through a remote-controlled gate. Wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. The non-heated swimming pool, lined in walnut-coloured travertine and surrounded by elegant paving, sunbeds, and lush greenery, completes this exceptional countryside retreat.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Country House Lo Spigo are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape. The usable garden area extends across 2 levels, covering approximately 700 square metres of lawn, lavender and rosemary bushes, lemon trees, and fruit trees, all framed by the unmistakable panorama of the Chianti hills dotted with ancient borghi and expanses of vineyards. In front of the main entrance, a paved patio leads to a beautiful jasmine-covered pergola, fully equipped with a comfortable seating area, a dining table, and a barbecue, making it an ideal space for outdoor meals and relaxed evenings. Adjacent to the pergola, a solarium area provides the perfect spot for sunbathing. A flight of steps from the patio descends to the lower lawn area, offering additional space for leisure and relaxation. The non-heated swimming pool measures 6 x 3.25 metres with a constant depth of 1.60 metres. It is lined in walnut-coloured travertine and features salt purification, steps for water access on one of the short sides, and an internal spotlight. Surrounding the pool, guests will find sunbeds, low tables, an umbrella, and a portable cold-water shower. The pool is also equipped with an isothermal bubble cover to help preserve water temperature during cooler periods. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Please be aware that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the appearance of flowering plants and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
