Tuscany
Home > Cottages > Villa MontanareSet high in woodland hills above historical Cortona, this restored farmhouse provides a magnificent location for those who wish to enjoy peaceful, unspoilt, yet boundlessly interesting surroundings in great comfort.
As one drives down to the property you can’t help feeling a sense of anticipation: turning into a gloriously open space surrounded by trees, it's difficult not to be overwhelmed by the stunning views to the distant mountains. Surrounded by 62 hectares of its own land, where you can enjoy glorious walks through the woods to one of the most spectacular views in Tuscany overlooking Lake Trasimeno.
The swimming pool is heated by solar panels (reaching temperatures of approx. 24°C-25°C) and sculpted organically into the side of the hill so the edge simply "disappears" (similar to an infinity pool!) into a spectacular panorama. Villa Montanare's owner is an interior designer, so you can be sure that both inside and alfresco living spaces have been exquisitely and sensitively restored.
Whilst remaining sympathetic to its natural environment, this is a house imbued with a sophisticated yet comfortable ambiance, furnished throughout with beautiful, inviting sofas, armchairs and antiques. The living room is smart and spacious, the study intimate and cosy and all the bedrooms are so luxurious you can't help but feel a little spoiled!
The bathrooms are characterised by their magnificent, free standing old-fashioned bathtubs as well as two large walk-in showers and spectacular tuscan stone sinks. The spacious kitchen/dining room acts as the social hub of the house; a well equipped and attractive living space which leads onto a covered terrace with a dining table set in a position to enjoy long, lazy evenings whilst enjoying the spectacular views of the hills (and maybe a bottle or two of wine!)
With two independent cottages only metres from the main house, Villa Montanare represents the pinnacle of accommodation for family gatherings or an adult group who appreciate the opportunity for their own space.
