Villa Serena is a wonderful 19th century villa situated in a idyllic hillside location looking out over the Valdichiana and the Apennine foothills and just 800m from historic town of Cortona. Surrounded by woodland and olive groves, this is the ideal spot for that dream holiday in Tuscany... The area combines great natural beauty (Lake Trasimeno is about 20 minutes drive away) with a wealth of historical remains and artifacts - Etruscan, Roman and medieval. Cortona's ancient walls and winding streets have resisted the ravages of modern development, making it an exquisite Tuscan gem and with several excellent restaurants, a delightful place to stroll up to in the evenings.
