200 Year Old Hamlet in Tuscany, Italy

If a spell "Under the Tuscan Sun" is what you need then Cortona and the surrounding villages is where it all happened, and a stay in "Casalena" could fulfil your own dreams.

"Casalena" is one of nine 200 year old stone houses in the small Etruscan hamlet of Cantalena in the mountains behind Cortona. This exquisite two storey villa, lovingly restored in 2002 has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, lounge/dining with large open fire, alfresco area and communal swimming pool. Picturesque and peaceful, with panoramic views over the mountains it is perfect for artists, writers and walkers or anyone looking for a taste of rural life in Tuscany.

 

12 kilometres away is the historic city of Cortona. Set on a hill overlooking the fertile plains of Tuscany it is perfectly positioned between Arezzo in Tuscany and Perugia, the capital of Umbria.

                              

 

 

Cortona is considered one of the most beautiful and noble of the ancient cities of Tuscany, along with Siena, Florence and San Gimignano and is renowned for its architecture, art treasures, summer music festivals, weekly markets, elegant shops and great restaurants.

To experience the real Tuscany, ask Carlo for some invaluable information to help plan your holiday and make it unique.

Nowhere is too far from here...

"What an adventure! Yes, the winding road was all you promised it would be, but the sample of Tuscan life and by extension a touch of Umbria was just amazing.  Pienza has also found a very special place in our hearts.  From one patch of paradise (Yallingup) to another, Casalena, we feel very blessed to share both places you call home.  Ciao Amici!". Shelley and Mark Balinski, Dunsborough, Western Australia
