It was always the owners dream to own a house in Tuscany and after looking for 2 years they finally found a home that has everything they could have wished for. The house for us is a great escape of peace and tranquility from their busy lives in London. They have lovingly restored the house over the last 5 years and have it finished to the high standard that they would expect for their home. They spent many weekends scouring the antique markets in Arrezo and Cortona to furnish the house and have used all local specialists for the furniture, from Busatti to Lorenzini.

The main house has 3 bedrooms all finished to the highest standards , each with their own bathroom and each overlooking the green valley below. In the main bedroom there is the original stone sink which is a lovely feature. The pretty guest cottage has its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen and is a great place for the kids to stay, near to the main house. There is a beautiful private swimming pool and spacious sun deck large enough for 8 people to relax.

The house has telephone, internet, wireless, computer with printer, Sky TV, Dishwasher, Freezer, Washing Machine, Tumble dryer, Cappucinno machine, bread maker, indoor and outdoor dinning tables and everything expected of a luxury villa.

The house is surrounded by 150 olive trees which give them their own Olive Oil production every Autumn, as well as Cherry trees and Apricot trees. If you time your stay for Autumn you may be able to pick the ripe fresh Figs from the 4 trees around the house !

The grounds have been greatly restored and landscaped and they have loved watching the house evolve back into the beautiful farmhouse it once was. They feel like they are in another world when they are here. Private and hidden and yet close enough to go into Cortona, to sample the local restaurants, which all have great food, friendly atmosphere and are excellent value for money. Florence is an hour away by car or train, Sienna 40 minutes away and you can take the train to Rome for a fun day out in the capital and still return in time for dinner in Cortona.

They have spent many happy weeks here with their family and friends, They are very proud of what they have achieved at Villa Valerie here and they hope you will enjoy living the dream too.
