This imposing property, which underwent its most recent renovation in 2014, comprises a main manor house and 2 charming outbuildings — an old tobacco drying kiln and a former communal bread oven once used by the sharecropper families of the estate — all seamlessly transformed into an elegant and welcoming retreat near Cortona. The interiors celebrate the timeless beauty of traditional Tuscan craftsmanship, featuring terracotta floors, exposed stone, rustic fireplaces, and vaulted ceilings, harmoniously paired with modern touches such as a professional kitchen with a central island and high-end electrical appliances.
