Classic Villa Vacations

La Pietra beautiful villa near Cortona sleeps 11 - 13; prices date dependant

  • This tuscan Villa, a classic stone farmhouse on the Tuscany Umbria border, a 40 minute drive from Cortona, was carefully restored in the early nineties using the old materials - stone, terra cotta, and massive chestnut beams - merging gracefully with the spectacular landscape that surrounds it.

    This is one of my favourite restored farmhouses in Tuscany - in fact it was this one that inspired me to start this business many years ago.. a true "Under the Tuscan Sun" experience. A little removed from the rush of reality, on the Tuscany/Umbria border...it allows for a dream vacation in Italy.

    This classically restored stone farmhouse is situated on a high hillside with panoramic views of Umbria and eastern Tuscany, including the tiny hill town of Preggio, and the ruins of the Pierle castle in a landscape dotted with small farms and ancient olive groves.

    "And while we were using our rental home as a base for travels within the region, we also took the opportunity to go nowhere and do nothing. La Pietra lent itself perfectly to such nonpursuits."
