About this property

House of character at 3km from Cortona in resort with pool and private parking

2 bedroom cosy apartment in a unique context: an ancient olive oil mill newly converted into an exclusive and luxurious holiday house. Thanks to accurate architectural restoration, the XVII th century building, perhaps a former monastery due to its “cloister” structure, has been transformed into luxury apartments, situated in a small valley, amid Tuscan olive-groves, cypresses and vineyards. The apartment is spacious and well decorated, with cotto tiles and wooden beams. It’s fully air conditioned and has wi-fi internet connection. It has two bedrooms: one with a double bed and another with twin beds which can be transformed into a double bed. A folding bed or a crib can be added on request. It has a fireplace in the living room and a fully equipped kitchenette. For a larger group we also own a studio just next door (see ref 8759709), which can accomodate 2 extra guests. You can relax after excursions in the vast garden and enjoy the swimming pool in the quiet atmosphere, savoring the smells of lavender, rosemary, and sage plants. There is a big table in the garden, where you can barbecue the famous “chianina” meat, one of the most delicious local products, together with wines and extra-virgin olive oil. Cooking classes and wine tasting tours can be arranged, as well as bike rental and horse riding.
Note on extra costs:
Possibility to rent pool towels at € 3.00 per person, per stay. Please indicate your choices when booking. The tourist tax is calculated for the first four nights at € 2.00 per person, excluding children under 12 years. All these costs will be paid at check in either in cash or by instant transfer.

Nice apartment in a wonderful area!
Great facilities, nice pool, very helpful host. We had a great time. Cortona is a somewhat hidden gem, really wonderful vacation overall. The apartment does not have a private garden or balcony, but the shared area is large and quiet.

Verblijf op prima locatie met mooi zwembad
Vijf nachten met onze 2 tienerzonen hier verbleven. Fijn is dat het dichtbij Cortona is en bij andere mooie plaatsen zoals Perugia. Er is een mooi groot zwembad. Wel wil ik de eigenaren aanraden om het sanitair en de keuken op te knappen. Dat is echt wel aan onderhoud toe en daardoor is het ook niet echt schoon.

Nice Appartment wirh great pool
Spent 2 weeks in July in this clean and well equipped appartment as a family of four. Great communication with the landlady and with the janitor. Clean and tidy garden with a big pool. Air condition worked well, and secure parking was also available. Cortona is a cosy little town, bigger citys like Arezzo, Siena and Perugia can be reached within less than 1 hour by car.

Caratteristica ed affascinante
Località caratteristica, molto tranquilla, silenziosa ed affascinante dotata di comodo parcheggio privato Appartamento accogliente e provvisto di tutto il necessario per il soggiorno (climatizzatore, lavastoviglie, lavatrice, TV, ecc.) come indicato nell’annuncio; disponibile Wi-Fi sia nell’alloggio sia nei pressi della piscina. Apprezzata la bella piscina anche se migliorabile la dotazione e la gestione dei lettini prendisole in presenza di molti ospiti. Piacevole e riservato anche lo spazio comune corredato di tavoli, sedie e griglie per mangiare all'aperto. Host gentile e disponibile: check-out flessibile. Piacevole soggiorno: consigliato.

Perfect for families
Cristina was incredibly accommodating pre-booking that allowed for a stress free reservation, replying to all our (complicated) requests in a timely manner. We were received by Elisa nearby who drove us out to the property. The photographs do not do the property justice, when the gates opened, it took our breath away! It is truly beautiful surrounded by trees and a curated garden. The apartment was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The runners in our family were thrilled that they could reach Cortona on their morning run. The pool was thoroughly enjoyed by our pre-teen and grandma comfortably seated poolside. We enjoyed our "al fresco" BBQ dinner in the communal garden, which was literally "fresco" thanks to the surrounding trees, something difficult to come by in the middle of August. The location enabled us to day trip to neighbouring towns and rest poolside the rest of the time. It is a wonderful property managed by professionals. Highly recommended.

Splendida Cortona
L’appartamento è come da descrizione: spazioso e confortevole, situato in un contesto magnifico, tranquillo e ben curato. Ci siamo trovati benissimo. La proprietaria è gentile e disponibile, così come la persona che si è occupata del check in. La posizione è ottima per visitare in giornata tante località di Toscana e Umbria, e Cortona, a pochi minuti di auto, è una cittadina molto vivace e simpatica. Posto da consigliare!

Fijn appartement op mooie locatie
Met ons gezin van vier (w.o. twee tieners) hebben we vier nachten in dit nette appartement doorgebracht. Het zwembad in de gemeenschappelijke tuin was heerlijk en de ligging vlakbij het middeleeuwse stadje Cortona is super. Een aanrader!

Lovely peaceful spot
The apartment was very comfortable and absolutely spotless. We were very grateful for the air-conditioning, especially given the heat outside. The pool was really lovely and so were the gardens, with a wonderful view of the hills and a little castle. It was great to be in the peace of the countryside but yet only a few minutes drive from Cortona. Though there were 30 apartments , they were never all occupied and it was very quiet. The only thing that could have made it better would be direct access to the outside - we didn't realise when booking that it was on the 2nd floor so we had to use the stairs to go to the garden, and there is no balcony or terrace.

Très bien
Location très bien placée pour les visites. Proche de Cortona et d'une supérette où l'on trouve de très bons produits locaux (tiramisu maison). Piscine et parc très agréables. L'appartement était propre, la personne qui nous a accueilli était très bien. C'est dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de terrasse ou balcon pour déjeuner le matin ; et bien qu'étant tout en haut de l'habitation on entend quand même les voisins faisant du bruit la nuit et sur le matin.

Vue imprenable sur le parc, avec gazon "anglais", et piscine (éclairée) utilisable à toute heure de la journée. Calme, bien-être, liberté. Idéal pour visiter le nord de la Ombrie et le sud-est de la Toscane. Un grand merci."

We are from Rome and fell in love with this unique magic place. We rent it when we go to the sea in the summer.

Why they chose this property

The holiday house is in the small medieval village of Sant’Angelo, at the foot of the hill of Cortona, which is just 3 km away. Next to the building, there is the beautiful church San Michele Arcangelo, dating back to VII- XI centuries. Cortona was founded by the Etruscans, in the past it has been an important city for its strategic and political position. It has medieval walls, renaissance palaces, and a XVI cent. fortress, from where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the entire Valdichiana. Nowadays, Cortona is a lively tourist and cultural centre, with its many cafés, restaurants and bric-à-brac markets. Amongst its cultural attractions: the Museo dell’Accademia Etrusca, the Archaelogic Museum, the Teatro Signorelli, that in the summer holds many open air shows, the relevant international COrtona Mix Festival (music, ballet, performing arts). For its location, the holiday house is the ideal place for day trips. Lake Trasimeno, where Hannibal defeated the Romans, is a 10 minutes drive. The Abbazia di Farneta is very close, as well as Arezzo, which holds the biggest antique markets in Italy. Cortona’s territory is at the regional border with Umbria (Perugia, Assisi,Orvieto, Gubbio, Spoleto, Deruta, Pienza). In the opposite direction, you can drive towards Siena and the Chianti area. Besides the countless artistic attractions, Tuscany and Umbria offer unmissable gastronomic itineraries(the wine road).For a wellness break, close Spas are in Rapolano and Chianciano, while for a more active holiday you can try horse riding, tennis, or the newly opened Manzano Spa Golf Club.

What makes this property unique

If you wish to spend a relaxing vacation, in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, tasting the most superb Italian food and wine, in the richest corner of Italy from the point of view of history and art.
