Renovated three-bedroom centuries-old stone country villa, garden with swimming pool, and olive grove for sale with stunning views over Cortona. In a corner of Tuscany with open views of the Val di Chiana countryside and the town of Cortona, Villa Il Castagno is a stone country house built in the early 1600s that has been recently renovated, preserving its rustic style with stone walls, handmade terracotta floors and solid wood beamed ceilings. The exteriors feature a garden, a well, a swimming pool with a fantastic view of Cortona, Mediterranean maquis, and some 100 olive trees for family use production of fragrant evo oil.
