Limoni
For some, one of the most daunting things about traveling abroad is where to lay your head after a long day of enjoying all that Tuscany has to offer. With the thousands of villas to choose from here at Tuscany Villas, we know it can quickly become overwhelming with the wealth of choice and information available. So we have decided to occasionally bring you a few hand-picked selections for your consideration as you decide where you want to stay during your holiday in Tuscany.

The first such property that the staff here are proud to present is Limoni. This beautifully converted farmhouse sits on a 5 hectare estate outside of Cortona.

A gorgeous view of the surrounding area can be seen from the villa and its private pool. The property can accommodate ten people in 5 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms. The villa owner lives in a small apartment separate from the rest of villa with its own private entrance and the rest of the house and grounds aside from a small garden is at your disposal.

The rental is actually split between the main farmhouse and a small outbuilding that has been refurbished and has its own kitchen, parlor with fireplace, dining area and two of the properties bedrooms and two of the bathrooms are located in this smaller building.

From the tourist perspective, Cortona is a great place to plan your day trips through Tuscany. Cortona, like most towns in Italy is connected to the train system which provides easy, fast and cheap transportation between the cities. If you prefer driving, it's still very close to Arezzo, Siena, Montalcino, Montepulciano and with a little more driving Pisa, Lucca and Florence.

Though once you see the crowds that some of these larger towns can attract, coming back to your lovely private villa in Cortona will make it feel even more like home. Cortona itself does get a lot of tourists due to its popularity from the movie Life is Beautiful and the best-selling book and the even more popular movie, Under the Tuscan Sun, but retains some of the charm that one would look for in a smaller Tuscan town.
Limoni Interior
The villa is very close to just about any amenity you could hope for. Restaurants and shops are only 3-5km away, the nearest golf course is roughly 10km away, horseback riding facilities are about 5km and tennis courts and a covered swimming pool is 10km away from Limoni.

The gorgeous bedrooms and well appointed living spaces in Limoni are almost eclipsed by all of the outdoor amenities available to guests here. Limoni also has a small shaded patio on the grounds, perfect for outside dining or a cookout. A barbecue, swimming pool, children's pool, jacuzzi, small pool house with changing room with bathroom and two showers, sun beds, table tennis and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the view are all at your disposal.
Lake Trasimeno
After all the excitement of traveling through Tuscany or if you're lucky enough to have a wedding here at Limoni, there could be no better way to relax than heading down to Castiglione del Lago and enjoying the beaches on Lake Trasimeno.

Shown below is a review of Limoni provided by a previous renter. You may also view the other villa testimonials that guests have posted after their stay at Limoni. It would be hard to find a better location for a wedding 'under the Tuscan sun'. The property is large enough for the soon to be wed and a few select family and friends, and after the wedding the newlyweds can stay in the outbuilding with the guests in the main house.

"This is the nicest property we have ever rented. Great location! You can get to most places in Tuscany and Umbria within one hour. Owners are charming and very helpful. Recommend having the owners make dinner and provide wine - You'll love it! Near all major tourist sites in Tuscany and Umbria. Has an incredible view over the Valley of the Chiana and up to Montepulciano."
