Villa Torre degli Elci is nestled in the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by iconic olive and cypress trees, just 4 km from the historic Etruscan hill town of Cortona. The villa’s name reflects its rich history as an old watchtower dating back to the 13th century, which later became a monastery before transforming into a charming residence. With breathtaking views of Cortona and the Chiana Valley, this property offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life, enveloped by lush elm trees.
Spanning 300 sqm, Villa Torre degli Elci features 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms across a three-level main house and two annex buildings.
Ground Floor: The main house includes two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which boasts a cozy fireplace.
First Floor: This level features an additional double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a spacious living room, and a dining room, both enhanced by a second inviting fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen and a charming reading room complete this floor.
Second Floor: Here, you’ll find another reading room offering stunning panoramic views, one double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, and access to the attic via a steep wooden staircase, which houses two single beds and an additional bathroom with a shower, suitable for children.
The first annex houses a fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor, complete with a dining area and a half bathroom. This space is perfect for outdoor dining under a gazebo, where you can relish the breathtaking views of Cortona's hillside. Adjacent to the kitchen, an old stone oven awaits for making delicious homemade pizzas.
The second annex features another double bedroom, bathroom, mini bar, and laundry area.
With expansive, green gardens and a beautiful pool, Villa Torre degli Elci provides ample space for relaxation and exploration against the backdrop of the stunning Tuscan landscape.
