Tuscany farmhouse rentals in Cortona, Arezzo nestled in the green hills on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, Italy


Tuscany farmhouse rentals in Cortona, Arezzo nestled in the green hills on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, Italy. Farmhouse Orsina dates back from the 14th century when it was a Franciscan convent. This Tuscan farmhouse was recently renovated making it the perfect retreat for couples and families.

The farmhouse has two floor. In the first floor there’s a kitchen and an ample living area with stone walls, a big fireplace and an amazing dinner area. In the second floor there is a bedroom with double bed and private bathroom, three other bedrooms, two of which with single bed and one with double bed, 1 bathroom and a sunny living area with a very old fireplace, armchairs and TV. The farmhouse comfortably sleeps 6 people.

The first village is 4 km from Orsina. Here there is a grocer and great take away pizza. A little drive further to Camucia, you will find a wider variety of shops and restaraunts, as well as the Thursday market. There is also a Saturday market in Cortona, a larger town with many shopping opportunities, good restaraunts and Trattorias. We suggest Osteria del Teatro and Trattoria Dardano.

This Tuscan farmhouse is 10 km from Cortona, an ancient Etruscan town, and 14 km from Lake Trasimeno. Surounded by countryside, it is an ideal spot for a quiet holiday where walks or mountain bike rides can be alternated with visits to nearby towns of Umbria and Tuscany, Italy.
