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.
