At few hundred of meters from the road that links Montepulciano to Cortona, you come on to a country road, which runs along the crest of some wavy vineyards-covered hills.  And suddenly, behind the bend, a secret view opens out before your eyes: Tuscany on the left, with its soft green hills, and Umbria on the right, with a blue stroke of the brush…it’s Trasimeno Lake.

Welcome to our Luxury Villa in Tuscany

Just here rises this elegant villa: with its face of yellow and terracotta colours shined by the morning sun-light that rises upon the lake; and with its brick-turret warm and stately by the tender light of sunset.

Then, you can sight the entrance path, dotted with cypresses; gravel staircases, lined by roses and wild box hedges; white travertine of the main portal; and throughout all the mansion French windows, embroidered by wrought iron, open wide into the vineyard and the garden, intercalated by vases of roses, of lemons, of bouganvilles; and the trees of plums, of apples, of kaki and figs… and these scents that flood in the house.

And to frame the valley, the red roofs of Cortona, the majestic contour of Montepulciano, and the remote outline of Amiata Mount distinctly silhouetted against the blue sky…

This is La Valiana
