Set in the foothills fringing the medieval town of Cortona and surrounded by olive and fir trees, the setting of this traditional cottage couldn't be more Tuscan if it tried. The interiors may be too rustic for some, but they would perfectly suit a small family or group of friends looking for a fuss-free stay. That lengthy pool fringed by vast lawns for little ones to have a runabout is all yours – and there's a ping pong table to break up pool time. Location-wise, Cortona is within walking distance, just 800 metres away – albeit uphill. And just a little further, discover Lake Trasimeno in Umbria.
