Home description
Villa Vitellino is situated among the gentle green hills of Umbria bordering Tuscany. Only a fifteen minute drive to Cortona, the area described in Frances Mayes' 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. The farmhouse, dating back to the 18th century, has been lovingly restored yet retains its original characteristics. Terracotta floors, exposed timber beams, hand painted tiles, antique furniture and comfortable beds are just some of the features appreciated by our guests.
The property is comprised of five tastefully furnished apartments of different sizes. Each has its own fully-equipped kitchen, bathroom, television, central heating and terrace. Some also have an open fireplace. The villa has a swimming pool with spa, gazebos and barbecue for dining 'al fresco', garden with play ground for children. The old farmhouse enjoys beautiful views of the surrounding Umbrian and Tuscan countryside including Lake Trasimeno. The property has a very cosy feel to it. It is located in a very convenient position for visiting beautiful, historical and artistic cities of Umbria and Tuscany like Cortona as well as Florence, Rome, Siena, San Gimignano, Assisi, Perugia, Pienza and Montepulciano.
