On the floor of Cortona’s famous golden valley sits the prestigious Villa S. Angelo. The seventeenth century structure boasts a history of noble origins. Built as a country estate for a prominent family from Arezzo with olive groves stretching into the surrounding foothills, the property of approximately 960m2 (~10,000 sq ft) features a tennis court, sunroom, covered barbecue with wood-burning stove, and a swimming pool. The main villa boasts six bedrooms and eight bathrooms with an additional two bedrooms included in the lemon house. It is located an hour from Perugia’s airport.

A family crest adorns the main villa, which is comprised of traditional service zones such as kitchen and laundry on the ground floor, as well as the cellar, a chapel with frescoes, and a lower den.

Exteriorly, an imperial (double) staircase provides access to the main floor where three en-suite bedrooms can be found, as well as the entrance hall which doubles as a reception room with its large marble fireplace, coffered ceilings, and adjacent frescoed hall.
