Cortona Tuscany Luxury Vacation Rentals Property
This luxury relais for sale is located in the Tuscan hills near the Umbria border, close to Cortona and Lake Trasimeno. Dating back to the 16th century, the property has been fully renovated and modernized while preserving its historic charm. It includes five self-contained guest apartments, additional guest rooms, and a landscaped park with a swimming pool. The estate spans approximately 4.6 hectares and features a small vineyard and olive trees.
The relais is conveniently located less than 2 km from local services and within a 15-minute drive of Cortona and Tuoro sul Trasimeno. Perugia Airport is under an hour away, while Rome’s international airport is just over two hours by car.
The main farmhouse, a 461 sqm (4,960 sqft) stone building, was likely once a small convent. It was restored in the early 2000s and is now divided into multiple units. Communal spaces include a reception area, a guest restaurant with a professional kitchen and outdoor dining pergola, guest restrooms, and storage rooms. The accommodations are as follows:
- Apartment A (42 sqm / 452 sqft): Living room, bedroom, and bathroom.
- Apartment B (47 sqm / 506 sqft): Living room with study area, bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, and bathroom.
- Apartment C (43 sqm / 463 sqft): Living room, small study, bedroom, and bathroom.
A separate wing of the building houses a spacious 116 sqm (1,248 sqft) owner’s apartment with a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. This space could be converted into additional guest accommodations if desired.
The renovation preserved the building’s character using high-quality materials such as handmade pink terracotta tiles, brick vaults, exposed beams of chestnut and oak, and frescoes by a recognized artist.
Beyond the main farmhouse, the property includes two guest annexes:
- Guesthouse A (83 sqm / 893 sqft): Four guest rooms, each with a bathroom.
- Guesthouse B (73 sqm / 785 sqft): Two independent apartments, each featuring a small living area with a kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom.
For additional guest amenities, the estate includes a 78 sqm (839 sqft) wellness centre with a whirlpool tub, showers, gym, and Turkish bath.
Additional buildings on the property include a former animal shelter (25 sqm / 269 sqft), a warehouse (94 sqm / 1,011 sqft), a garage (60 sqm / 646 sqft), and various sheds totalling 286 sqm (3,077 sqft), which can be used for equipment storage or converted into outdoor relaxation areas.
The 10,000 sqm landscaped park is filled with mature trees and flowers, creating shaded areas for guests to relax. The grounds also feature a play area for children, a fitness trail, and a 14 × 7 m swimming pool with a terracotta sunbathing area. A designated helicopter landing area allows for direct access to the property.
The agricultural portion of the estate includes a 1.9-hectare vineyard producing red varieties, a 0.5-hectare olive grove that yields a small amount of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, 1.3 hectares of woodland, and 0.8 hectares of arable land.
