The detail

Revel in the beauty of Italy’s rich Tuscan landscapes with a stay at this tranquil, country estate on the edge of Cortona. Featuring two dusky pink villas in flourishing, greenery, it is a luxury escape with stunning, rural vistas. Marvel at the expert stone masonry within the grounds before gazing over the sun-kissed fields and the ripened olive trees, or breathing in the aromatic scents of the cypress and fig trees. Ancient villages adorn the inspirational scenery, and offer an enchanting glimpse into this authentic part of Italy.

Villa Chic is home to two traditional, summer houses that have their own exclusive terraces and private, pool areas. Their classic facades ooze with a period glamour and hide minimalist interiors that have a designer flavour. Pure white walls offer a clarity of thought and are joined by distinctive curves and modern artwork. Original touches add a down-to-earth vibe that is simple, uncluttered and utterly sublime.

The larger of the two villas can sleep up to six, across two double bedrooms and an additional twin. Each room boasts its own stylish finish and has panoramic views across the Mediterranean landscape. En-suite bathrooms are polished and sleek, while the downstairs living areas are seriously chic. Outside, you’ll find an array of sun-drenched terraces where you can dine al fresco or relax by the poolside.

A romantic, little villa can also be found within the estate boasting its own deluxe pool and intimate dining terrace. With one gorgeous double bedroom and spacious living areas, it is the ideal hideout for loved-up couples. Watch the ever-changing colours of the Tuscan backdrops, or the captivating sunsets with their atmospheric shadows. Secluded patios join über-cool interiors that are finished with sophisticated colours and contemporary mod-cons.

Tuscany is famous for its sweeping backdrops, lined with manicured vineyards and rolling hillsides. Its majestic valleys hide medieval villages where beautiful churches boast impressive architecture. The charming town of Cortona is just a few kilometres from the villas and is known for its historic city walls and archaeological treasures. Delicious home-made dishes will tempt you to indulgence, and can be enjoyed with award-winning wines from all around the region. Stunning Siena and Pienza are also nearby with Florence also within reach. Venture into Umbria and there is Perugia, Assisi and the delightful Lake Trasimen. Once they've had their fill of culture many guests visit a luxury designer outlet just 45km away.
