Description

Villa San Pietro is set on the base of the hill leading up to Cortona with great views of the village and the Chiana valley. It has a strategic position in a quiet corner of countryside just 5 minutes by car from Cortona and not far from the road that leads to Tuscany, Umbria and elsewhere. The villa is immersed in large gardens and has a lovely view over an ancient villa that had its origins as a watch tower, then monastery during the C13th.

The villa is comprised of the main building on three floors, an outdoor dependence and a separate structure with a second kitchen, dining area or entertainment area. This last area is popular for preparing meals that can be enjoyed in the outdoor pergola or around the pool and ensures that late night revellers will not disturb guests wishing to sleep.
