Casa Cristina

Totally renovated in 2015, Cristina features original 5 meter high brick vaulted ceilings on the main floor and 8 meter high wood beamed ceilings upstairs, antique “cotto” floors, ancient carved stone fireplaces and a stone built wood-burning oven in the kitchen.
The main floor incorporates a large open plan kitchen/dining/living room accessed by luminous twin French doors, a cozy and private bedroom with its own French doors and external patio, a large bathroom with ancient brick vaulted ceiling, and a sun drenched solarium with voluminous four panel French doors framing stunning views.

The second floor, reached by an ancient oak cantilevered staircase, ( note there is no railing) is comprised of 3 bedrooms – each with multiple windows streaming dappled sunlight and framing breathtaking views. Two bedrooms share a large bathroom with twin sinks, double shower and luxurious bathtub. The third bedroom/master-suite has an ensuite bathroom with shower and private balcony with expansive views of the gardens, olive groves, Lago Trasimeno and the Val di Chiana. This villa near Cortona is finished in a sophisticated blend of antique and modern fixtures, furniture and art, including authentic Art Deco lighting throughout.

There is a modern fully equipped gourmet kitchen with professional stainless gas cook top, electric stove, dishwasher and full-sized fridge/freezer, an antique refectory table that can seat up to 16, modern air-conditioning, and in-floor heating. Stepping out of the cool living room or kitchen there is a large medieval stone patio with columned pergola overgrown by violet and white wisteria, shading a dreamy and quintessentially Tuscan outdoor dining and lounge area.

The gardens feature extensive ancient stone pathways and terraced olive groves, a vineyard of Etruscan grapes, and a swimming pool incorporating a swim jet and enveloped by ancient stone pavements. Ensconced in the vineyard, under an 800 year old olive tree, is a stone built outdoor kitchen with wood burning oven, BBQ, medieval marble sink, and dining area, with amazing views to Montepulciano, Mount Amiata and Mount Cetona.

The windows and gardens of this villa near Cortona capture early morning sunrises over the hilltops, cooling afternoon breezes rising from Lago Trasimeno, and colorful sunsets against Cortona's ancient skyline.

The view is to die for. The pool was beautiful, and was situated high on the property, with a commanding view of the entire valley below. The house was really perfect. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was spacious yet felt very cozy. Even in the heat of the summer, the main floor remained cool. There is air conditioning but we didn't have to use it that much. The ability to walk to town (only 10 minutes) was a huge plus, and the main reason why we chose the house.
