Our agriturismo offers three elegantly renovated Tuscan cottages that are ideal for your relaxing yet inspiring holiday, located at an enjoyable 20 minute walk through beautiful heritage listed countryside from the centre of the hilltop town of Cortona.

We invite you to appreciate the spectacular Tuscan countryside, relax at the swimming pool with panoramic views, and enjoy alfresco dining in the exclusive outdoor dining area included with each cottage, all whilst enjoying views of Cortona with its Etruscan walls and noble Renaissance churches. In Cortona, you will discover how artists, writers and saints found their inspiration wandering through this land. Situated half way between the serene and introspective Convent of Le Celle, founded by Saint Francis (20 minutes walking), and the Etruscan Tombs of Il Sodo (15 minutes walking), on the MAEC museum track facing Cortona’s town centre, Our retreat of humble artistic beauty is ideal for lovers of nature, trekking, mountain biking and many more outdoor activities.
Antica Quercia Verde, farm stay, is the perfect base for travellers wanting to explore Tuscany and Umbria. The towns of Montepulciano, Pienza, Arezzo, and Lake Trasimeno are less than 30 minutes away by car, while Florence, Perugia and Assisi are a simple day trip by train (approximately one hour) from the local station.
La Fonte, our quaint little west facing cottage for two people.
It offers a queen size bedroom, a modern bathroom and a small old style “madia” - a typical piece of Tuscan furniture where families used to keep bread - that has been adapted into a micro kitchenette with a frigo-bar and induction cook top. It is not suitable for guests that want to cook elaborate dishes, but is functional for preparing a light meal. Outdoors this cottage features a large private terraced area for dining al fresco or simply relax under the Tuscan sun with the swimming pool and gazebo close by. La Fonte is our smaller cottage and can only cater for two guests. For larger groups it can be offered with Il Risveglio.
