XVI century aristocratic villa in Cortona

This luxurious aristocratic Villa dates back to the XVI century and is located in the picturesque town of Metelliano, about 300 meters above sea level. The Villa, a true architectural masterpiece, embodiment of elegance and refinement, stands near the majestic “Pieve di San Michele Arcangelo” that further enhances its prestige. This extraordinary property consists of the main Villa and other outbuildings. The walls of the Villa are adorned with frescoes that tell millennia-old stories and its ornate ceilings give it a timeless elegance. Of particular historical and architectural significance is the outdoor staircase in pietra serena that leads to the noble floor, another example of craftsmanship, with spacious lounges and three large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The Villa is arranged on three levels, each offering a combination of residential spaces and reception rooms typical of the Tuscan aristocracy of the time. On the ground floor, a chapel adds a touch of spirituality and sacredness to the environment. The spacious living area with fireplace includes the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. The sleeping area consists of large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a large library. The recently renovated Scuderia, with its spacious living areas spread over two levels, offers rustic atmosphere of the old days with the modern elegance of the property. Next to it, the Limonaia, also recently restored, offers a haven of peace and serenity with a residential floor partially accessible via an external staircase clad in pietra serena. Magnolia, an elegant single-storey building, connects the Villa to the charming Nymphaeum fountain, serving as a reception and service area for guests. The surrounding park with its centuries-old trees is an oasis of peace and beauty, enhanced by a swimming pool and tennis court. The surrounding farmland, mostly olive groves and woods, is of great importance to the mansion as it hosts the spring and the private aqueduct that feeds it and contributes to the beauty and authenticity of this exceptional estate, making it a true gem in the heart of Tuscany.
