Wonderful classy Villa Metelliano is located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside a few kilometres from Cortona, a fascinating borgo on the hills of the Valdichiana. The owners have restored the villa, which dates back to the 18th century, maintaining its authentic character, with the renovations creating a dream location, rich in elegance and history. The façade of the villa is unique in the Cortona area: it was embellished in the 19th century with frescoes inspired by the Maison à Colombages, presumably during the period of the French troops in the area. The antique stone, the chestnut wood, the parquet planks skilfully adapted to cover ceilings and floors and the beautiful, rigorously hand-painted decorations on the walls are the materials that give voice to the architecture of this luxury villa, characterised by large living areas with windows facing the garden.

The bedrooms located on the first and second floor, easily reachable by lift, are comfortable, spacious and tastefully furnished, with ensuite bathrooms and equipped with air conditioning. The pride of this beautiful property, in which the standards of quality and comfort reach a rare excellence, is the lush well-kept park with splendid trees, olive groves, green lawns and colourful, fragrant flowers everywhere that surround the villa and the splendid infinity pool lined internally in green to confer on the pool the most natural look possible. Villa Metelliano is excellent as a starting point for visiting the major towns of Tuscany, such as Siena, Florence and Arezzo, and of nearby Umbria, such as Perugia, Assisi and Orvieto. Short trips will take you to the famous rural borghi around Siena, such as San Gimignano, Montepulciano, Pienza, Montalcino in the Val d’Orcia and the magnificent Chianti area.

Location and distances


Cortona is a fascinating town in the Valdichiana, enclosed by a wall in which both Etruscan and Roman features are visible today. Built on a 600 metre-high hill, its elevated position guarantees an excellent view from different points of the town, allowing you to admire the splendid surrounding landscapes, as well as a glimpse of Lake Trasimeno. The history of Metelliano, too, has very ancient roots, as it was the scene of a bitter clash during the Second Punic War and is located along the route of an important Roman road. There are thematic walking and hiking routes that retrace the roads of the battle of Trasimeno (the Hannibal Walk, 14 km away) or the ancient Roman paved route that connects Torreone to Mount Egidio and the splendid Strada Basolata. The location is one of the most ideal for those wishing to visit, with short trips, the two regions of central Italy, Tuscany and Umbria, aided by fast roads such as the A1 motorway and the Siena-Perugia highway. Places of particular interest such as Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Perugia and Assisi are less than an hour away by car and other less known, but no less interesting, localities from a cultural or artistic point of view can be reached with pleasant day trips. Shops and supermarkets in the area are open on Sundays as well.

Have you considered any recommendations to enhance the overall quality of the property?
The property was absolutely gorgeous, sparkling clean and extremely well equipped. The only thing slightly letting it down was the quality of the crockery which I didn't feel was the same quality as everything else at the property. The plates were plentiful but just felt a little on the cheap side. The tea mugs also felt a bit cheap and a couple were chipped. Other than that everything was perfect and we look forward to returning next year.

ZER0DEP COVER - by EuropAssistance (Mandatory) 49€ each reservation The new "Zer0Dep" guarantee protects you and allows you to have a tranquil holiday. Zer0Dep stands for "Zero deposit"; it is an insurance coverage developed in partnership with EuropAssistance which replaces the security deposit and which is therefore mandatory. The benefits of this guarantee are: you do not pay the security deposit on arrival: neither in cash nor by immobilising a substantial amount on your credit card limit;
  • you are protected in the case of eventual damage to the property caused accidentally during your stay (up to the maximum limit of 1500 euro);
  • you avoid any dispute on the responsibility of the damage and its quantification during check-out;
  • you can enjoy your villa holiday in greater tranquillity.
