Single family villa, excellent condition, 611 m², Cortona

In the hills on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, in a very quiet and panoramic position, finely restored villa with guesthouse and swimming pool for sale. The building, which dates back to the 12th century, has been converted into an elegant manor house with a total of 8 bedrooms, three of which are for guests. The 1.4-hectare park surrounding the villa includes a 11 × 5 m swimming pool and approximately 80 olive trees.
The property is located in the municipality of Cortona, Tuscany, but is right on the border of Umbria, an ideal position for exploring both regions and with easy access to Perugia airport. Green hills dotted with olive groves and open meadows, quiet and peaceful but not isolated, surround the property. A convenient bar/restaurant is just a few minutes from the house and during summer it is easily reached on foot as well. Facilities can be found in the nearby town of Lisciano Niccone, Mercatale or Camucia and Cortona.
