Description:

Bella Vista is aptly named, perched as it is at the head of one of the most lovely valleys in the Cortona area of Tuscany. The main building is a 300 year old converted farmhouse, providing ample accommodation including 7 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and 3 apartments on the top floor. You enter the building from a gravelled car park, past tall cypresses, and come into the main reception room, with huge original fireplace in front of you. The building has been sympathetically restored and there is a relaxed and timeless elegance to the place that is so hard to create in a new building. There is a panoramic terrace off the dining area, overlooking the swimming pool on the terrace below and enjoying the splendid views that make the Podere such a special place. Other than the attractive dining room there is an ancient taverna room with old flagstones and a wine tasting area.Other than the main farmhouse, there is a Canonica which offers further elegant accommodation on the top floor and potential for more reception areas on the unrestored ground floor. There are 4 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and 3 reception rooms. The Canonica and the pretty old church attached to it, are owned by the local Diocese and the vendors have a long term rental agreement which they can pass to a future buyer.
