The Ancient Stone

The Ancient Stone: Tuscany

Perched on the hills overlooking the Val di Chiana, this beautiful home seamlessly blends rustic charm with elegant Tuscan style to create a truly unforgettable stay.

Less than a fifteen–minute walk from the centre of Cortona, the owners have thoughtfully restored this traditional farmhouse into a welcoming space that exudes charm. And with its abundant garden and breathtaking views, this is the perfect setting for a retreat into the heart of nature.

Stepping inside, you’ll find an uplifting space designed to enrich your stay with the simple pleasures of Italian living. From luminous mornings watching the sun rise over the valley to cosy evenings curled up by the fire, this is the kind of space that adapts to suit the needs of the moment. And for the ultimate sense of relaxation, the shared swimming pool is perfectly poised for refreshing swims and lazy afternoons reading under a tree.

For explorations further afield, it’s just a short atmospheric stroll to the church of Santa Maria Nuova as well as the town centre. Days can be spent meandering the majestic streets, pausing in a local bar or restaurant and savouring the stunning views.
