Tuscan Haven with Panoramic Era Valley Views

Agriturismo Podere Cortilla - La Stalla Podere Cortilla is situated at an altitude of 250 metres on a hillside in the beautiful landscape of the Era Valley near the historic Etruscan town of Volterra (6 km). The surrounding area is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Tuscany with its typical hill formations and characteristic vegetation. The country house is surrounded by more than 23 hectares of open countryside: woods, meadows, olive groves, vineyards and cereal fields. Here you will find an ideal place for a peaceful holiday in a still very unspoilt natural environment. With around 11,000 inhabitants, Volterra offers a comprehensive infrastructure, supermarkets, specialised shops, boutiques, restaurants of all kinds and price ranges. Cities such as Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena and San Gimigniano are between 30 and 80 kilometres away and the Mediterranean is only 40 kilometres away. There are no fewer than 15 golf courses in Tuscany. La Stalla has a large terrace with table and chairs in the courtyard right outside the front door. A highlight is the large pool (14 x 7 metres) with equipment and storage room and comfortable sun loungers and parasols and a spacious terrace with views of the wonderful countryside. The carport with 8 parking spaces has a large photovoltaic system on the roof, which contributes to our energy requirements. The garden and lawn areas around the house allow you to move freely and settle down with seating and loungers. A barbecue invites you to rustic barbecue evenings, where you can also have breakfast in the shade of vines, sit together or read a book. A table tennis table allows for sporting activities. La Stalla is a large holiday flat (145 m²) for up to 8 people. Its architectural features include the exceptionally beautiful, well-preserved cross-arched ceilings. The flat forms a separate house with two floors. It has 2 living rooms, 3 bedrooms with orthopaedic beds, a spacious kitchen with dining room, 2 shower rooms and a guest WC.
