Luxury Peaceful Villa With Vine Covered Pergola Enjoying Panoramic Views.

Il Palazzo di Chiantina is a refurbished medieval monastery farmhouse with incredible panoramic views overlooking the Niccone Valley, and straddling the Tuscan-Umbrian border. The villa is well located, 4km from the nearest village, Mercatale. Perugia, Cortona and Lake Trasemeno are all within travelling distance.

ll Palazzo di Chiantina has recently undergone sympathetic restoration, we have made every effort to select the interior furnishings to ensure that they reflect local traditions, whilst retaining that important element of modern comfort. Adding, modern bathrooms with rainfall showers and roll-top baths.

Sleeping 12 people, our property is perfect for large groups or multiple families. Each room has its own personality and style. You may notice some of our rooms have personal names, such as Baux and Siena, these are the names of my beautiful children, who spent every summer here playing out in the olive groves and swimming every day.

Whilst renovating inside, we also have put in a lot of work to create our gorgeous established garden as it stands today. Set in 2 hectares of private land, the gardens and terraces contain a variety of fruit trees, figs, walnuts, plums, almonds, olives and vines and you are welcome to help yourselves to their bounty (in season of course). The vine-covered pergola allows you to dine alfresco whilst enjoying the magnificent views. During the day it provides a large, shaded scented (in May/June) area to relax. At night you may see the fireflies dancing and you’ll see exactly why the monks chose this spot.

Set lower on our grounds, our beautiful swimming pool still has the most incredible views of the valley. Equipped with a shaded pergola with a sofa seating area, as well as plenty of sun loungers, it is the perfect place to spend the day.

The locals call us the “House with the ‘Hollywood’ view!”, located 590m above sea level.
Please note our driveway and the main road to the villa is a very steep white road, therefore we would recommend a 4x4 car. Whilst 2-wheel drive can manage, going back up the drive with a full load can be a struggle.
