About this property
Villa Cegliolo is a beautifully restored 18th-century estate with sweeping views over vine-studded hills and the medieval village of Cortona. Comprising three separate dwellings—two apartments in the main villa and a charming cottage in the garden—this spacious property comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests, making it ideal for larger families or groups travelling together.
Each residence showcases authentic Tuscan character, with terracotta floors, wooden ceiling beams, shuttered windows and cosy fireplaces, while modern comforts such as Wi-Fi, satellite TVs and fully equipped kitchens ensure a relaxing stay. The largest unit features a generous living room, dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the second apartment offers two bedrooms in a similarly inviting layout. Tucked among the gardens, the romantic cottage is perfect for a couple seeking extra privacy and includes its own bedroom, living space and kitchen.
Peaceful, welcoming bedrooms promise restful nights, with wrought-iron beds and serene garden views. Outdoors, the villa’s expansive garden is a true highlight, dotted with rose bushes, mature trees and multiple dining areas overlooking the rolling countryside. At its heart lies a private swimming pool where guests can unwind, sunbathe and enjoy time together in complete tranquillity.
Despite its secluded feel, the villa is within 1.5km of small local villages offering shops, cafés and restaurants. History lovers can visit the Parco Archeologico di Cortona, just 2.5km away, while the iconic hilltop town of Cortona—with its museums, churches, boutiques and restaurants—is only 4km from the property.
Villa Cegliolo is a historic and spacious home, perfect for a memorable family escape in the heart of Italy. From here, you can walk to nearby cafés and shops, while the famous hilltop village of Cortona is just 4km away, offering all the amenities, restaurants and cultural attractions you could need during your stay.
The villa is ideally positioned for exploring the natural beauty within a 20km radius. Guests can enjoy scenic hikes through the rolling landscapes of the Val di Chiana, play golf on excellent nearby courses, or visit family-run vineyards to taste world-class Tuscan wines.
Just 14km away lies Lake Trasimeno, a sparkling expanse surrounded by wooded trails and sandy lake beaches. With seven different beaches to choose from—including the family-friendly Tuoro Beach—the lake is perfect for sunbathing, swimming and sandcastle building. It also offers water sports, scenic walks and relaxing boat trips to the picturesque lake islands.
Tuscany’s iconic hilltop villages are also within easy reach. While essential shops and a supermarket are just 1.5km from the villa, Cortona provides a wider selection of cafés, artisan boutiques and a lively market. Rich in history, the village is home to medieval streets, Renaissance palaces, and sacred sites such as Le Celle Monastery and the Basilica of Santa Margherita. Highlights include the Diocesan Museum, filled with Renaissance masterpieces, and the impressive Medici-built Fortress del Girifalco.
