Luxury Villas

Location

The luxurious villa stands just a few kilometres from Cortona (Arezzo), in Valdichiana.

Valdichiana is a region of south-eastern Tuscany divided into the provinces of Siena and Arezzo that owes its name to the torrent Clanis, which passed through it in the past.

Like most of Tuscany, Valdichiana was inhabited by the Etruscans and then ruled by the Romans. In the Middle Ages the region was involved in the struggle that brought bloodshed to Tuscany, and was the theatre of various battles involving the armies of Florence, Siena, Arezzo and Perugia.

Valdichiana was reclaimed in the second half of the 18th century, and in the present days, it is one of the most fertile areas in Tuscany. In this region are produced some of the most famous Italian wines, such as the Chianti Colli Aretini, the Vino Nobile and the Rosso di Montepulciano. Equally renowned are the Chianina meat, Sinalunga cured meats and sausages, the pecorino cheese and the extra-virgin olive oil produced in the valley.
