DESCRIPTION
Small Tuscany villa for two - Tucked away in the blissful, rolling countryside on the edge of a small hamlet near Cortona, this romantic stone cottage with private pool is a delightful hideaway for a couple seeking to experience the best of Tuscany and Umbria.
Surrounded by terraced grounds with an abundance of olive and fruit trees, cypresses and rosemary shrubs, this cottage combines modern and traditional Italian furnishings. With its private pool and splendid views over the valley and the hilltop village of Cortona, it would make the perfect setting for a honeymoon couple in search of romance as well as opportunities for lovely country strolls. Following wine tasting trails can be an exciting pursuit as well as sampling the local delicacies this region is so famous for.
Thanks to its ideal situation close to the Tuscan/ Umbrian border, Nido Cortona allows for easy exploration of these beautiful regions. As an alternative to a romantic dinner al fresco in the inspiring setting of your holiday home, you can try one of the restaurants in Cortona, renowned for its wild boar, porcini mushrooms, olives, pecorino cheese and so much more. From Cortona you can spot Lake Trasimeno in the distance, only a few miles' drive. A day on the lake beach can provide a pleasant alternative to the country landscape. Pedal boats can be rented in Tuoro sul Trasimeno or Castiglione del Lago, with boat tours available to visit the little islands in the middle of the lake.
