Italian Country Estates - Tenuta Vitiano, Cortona, Tuscany

Traditional Tuscany's Country Estate pages allow you to view any of our Italian properties that have two or more self catering apartments on site as a whole. This way you can see under the 'accommodation' heading how many apartments are on a particular estate and how many people those apartments will sleep. The self catering apartments listed under the 'accommodation' heading all have clickable links to take you directly to an individual description of that accommodation along with its current availability.

These pages are especially useful for family groups who are perhaps looking for one or two apartments on a larger estate, for couples who are looking for smaller estates with only two or three properties maximum or for larger parties who are perhaps planning a reunion or wedding. 

If you are specifically looking for an villa or apartment in Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche and Lazio and want to search by date availability or number of bedrooms etc, you can use the drop down menu in the Property Finder and select 'villas and apartments' for self catering apartments with a shared swimming pool or 'private villas' for a selection of independent villas with private pools.

Estate Overview

This elegant 18th century villa, located in the fertile and charming Valdichiana, just half-way between Arezzo and Cortona, has always been in the family of its present owner. The villa Vitiano is such a large villa that it has been possible to make three smaller, self-contained apartments in the wing at the back, each of which has its own separate and private entrance. The beautiful garden overlooked by the villa featuring century-old trees, sweet-smelling wisterias and colourful flowers perfectly matches the stonework of the old barns, the old baking oven, the old stables enclosing its perimeter; the latter now converted into a nice open loggia make the garden seem to run endlessly into the large lawns (once the farmyard) framed by a cypress tree-lined path and housing the estate's swimming-pool.

Right next to the villa, only separated by the road running along the route of an ancient Roman road, stands the family chapel onto which leans the lemon-house with its charming Italian-style garden, its vegetable garden and the lemon-garden with its imposing century-old oak-tree, a sort of hortus conclusus framed by the nearby mountains bounding the valley.

The location of Vitiano makes it an ideal base from which to explore the rich valley of the Valdichiana, and the historical cities of Arezzo, Cortona, Montepulciano and Perugia where you will find masterpieces by such artists as Piero della Francesca and Beato Angelico to admire. Orvieto and Assisi are within an hours drive, and the beaches, islands and water-sports of Lake Trasimeno and Castiglione del Lago are within 30 minutes.

The accommodation here is 'faded grandeur' within a very intact and original setting. The villa and apartments are comfortably furnished with antique or traditional Tuscan country furnishings. Kitchens are traditional, simple and functional. Bathrooms are modern.

Garden grounds

Spacious garden grounds surround the villa and apartments. The pool is shared, but in its separate and extensive garden surrounded by cypress trees it is easy for everyone to find their own corner. An attractive shaded loggia, where you can eat or play ping-pong, has been created by opening up the stable block between the villa garden and the orchard.

Pool details

The pool is 12m x 7m with ladders for entry/exit and is set in generous garden grounds.
