Description: Live surrounded by the Tuscan countryside, with Cortona overlooking the landscape, and enjoy the privacy of a large historic residence without giving up the convenience of having the city just minutes away. In San Pietro a Cegliolo, at the foot of the hill where the ancient Etruscan city stands, we are offering a prestigious historic villa whose documented origins date back to at least 1823. It has been skilfully restored in keeping with traditional Tuscan architecture. The property has a total area of approximately 1,232 sq m, divided between the main villa and ancillary buildings, and is set within a private estate of approximately 5.6 hectares, with landscaped gardens, olive groves, agricultural land and extensive green spaces. A residence with exceptional features, combining the charm of an authentic Tuscan home with the space and comforts of a grand villa for entertaining.

Living Area The villa features spacious reception rooms, including a four-part living room and a large eat-in kitchen. Wooden-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and stone details preserve the character of traditional Tuscan residences, enhanced by a restoration that carefully respects the building’s architectural identity. The generous room sizes make it possible to arrange large reception salons, spaces for socialising and areas for everyday family life, balancing formal rooms with more intimate and private spaces.

Sleeping Area The complex has a total of 15 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, distributed between the main villa and the ancillary buildings. The layout makes it possible to separate the rooms reserved for the family from the guest suites, providing independent spaces and ensuring comfort, autonomy and privacy for everyone.

Layout and Amenities With 40 rooms in total, the property offers considerable flexibility in how the spaces are arranged. A lift, together with a laundry room, pantry, storage rooms and numerous ancillary rooms, provides the functionality required for a residence of this size, making it suitable for use as a permanent home.

Underground Garage The villa also has a large underground garage of approximately 150 sq m, with space for around 8–10 cars, depending on vehicle sizes and parking layout. This is a particularly useful feature for a prestigious residence, keeping the outdoor areas clear and preserving the elegance of the surrounding landscape.

The grounds, swimming pool and views The villa is set within an estate of approximately 5.6 hectares, whose size ensures a high level of privacy and natural separation from the surrounding area. The grounds feature landscaped gardens, olive groves, mature trees, paths through the greenery and shaded spots, offering numerous outdoor spaces for relaxation and socialising. A splendid private swimming pool measuring 20 × 10 metres is set within the grounds. Its generous dimensions, sunbathing areas and relaxation spaces make it a natural fit for the landscape. The property also offers the possibility of restoring a former golf course, an opportunity to further enhance the leisure facilities, making the most of the estate’s size and its landscape setting. The privileged view over the Cortona hillside adds to the appeal, with the historic city’s profile dominating the surrounding panorama. This striking backdrop accompanies outdoor living and gives the property a distinctive identity.
