Cortona Villa Summary

Villa Porsenna is set majestically on top of a hill with commanding views over the Val di Chiana and the verdant Tuscan countryside, at the heart of the historic town of Cetona. Its origins go back to Etruscan times, over 2000 years ago. The core of this superb residence is a tower built in the 11th century, around which an aristocratic mansion was built in the 1600s. The villa has been recently restored by its aristocratic owners with a timeless style and grace. Its colorful décor of superb antiques and fine fabrics creates a gracious and welcoming ambiance. Double drawing room, complete with imposing marble fireplace and grand piano, you pass through a hall into a working kitchen, then into a long Roman-style dining room with a feast-sized oval table and French doors leading out to the terrace and garden. The villa is ringed by 2 acres of parkland with lofty trees and formal gardens, where you can walk through an ancient amphitheatre and past rows of olive trees.

Notes: Nothing sets HomesAway apart more than our Local Hosts. They wear many hats during your stay: guide, companion, advisor, translator, local friend around the corner and troubleshooter… available for up to 15 hours your first week, 10 hours in subsequent weeks - or more if you choose. Your Local Host prepares the home for your arrival, greets you at the door and makes sure you are properly introduced to your new surroundings. Best of all, they are available throughout your holiday to help you plan or fine tune your daily itinerary. You might ask them to guide you around the local markets, introduce you to the village baker, point you to the best artisan shops, or arrange a special wine tasting. And while you’re off on your own, they work behind the scenes, making the arrangements you have requested – a cook for a special dinner, a hard-to-get restaurant reservation, a high chair or any other special need.
