Set amidst the verdant greenery of the Tuscan countryside, this elegant home invites you to experience the timeless charm of Italian living. And from the moment of arrival, the atmospheric presence of the villa feels inspiring. Formerly a church that belonged to an old noble property, the owners have sensitively restored this building into a home that shines with character and poetic beauty. From the traditional features to the art and objects, every detail brings a quality of joy to daily life. And whether you’re gazing at the garden views from the kitchen, sipping coffee on the terrace or soaking in the bathtub, it’s easy to settle in and feel at home here. Stepping outside, you’ll discover an idyllic sanctuary – a natural haven perfectly poised for refreshing morning swims, long lunches and sunset drinks. Take a short stroll and you’ll find the village of Pergo is just fifteen–minutes away – there’s a supermarket here for any basic amenities you might need. And for explorations further afield, the picturesque hilltop town of Cortona is just a ten–minute drive away. From here you can meander through the medieval streets, stop for gelato and savour the beauty of the Valdichiana valley.
