What guests
say about this villa...Villa Grazia was outstanding, gorgeous and immaculate. The hosts were lovely
and helpful. The grounds were bursting
with flowers and absolutely lovely. We loved Cortona and visited hill towns in
Umbria as well as Tuscany. There was easy access to the train to travel to Florence.
It was perfect! SP, Merion, PA

Villa Grazia is a traditional 17th-century Tuscan stone villa, with beautiful grounds and extensive gardens, as well as a large swimming pool (open 9am-8pm)
and a fish pond. A private chapel is sheltered in a small wood on the estate, and another stretch of land is cultivated with grape vines and olive trees. Buildings once used for olive oil production have been exquisitely converted into a residence with two large apartments and a charming cottage.
Minutes from the Umbrian border, the Tuscan hilltown of Cortona
is filled with the spirit of its Etruscan heritage; visit the Etruscan tombs at Tanella di
Pitagora and Cortona's Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca. The winding Vila Nazionale is lined with shops specializing in antiques, ceramics and wood crafts. In the Museo Diocesano, works by native
son Luca Signorelli are displayed alongside those of other masters. Cortona revels
in its role as cittá d'arte ("city of art"), hosting a variety of cultural events
and festivals through the year. Southeastern Tuscany offers many attractions, including Montepulciano, Montalcino, Cetona, Arezzo, and Chiusi. Access
to Florence and Siena to the north, as well as Rome to the south, is easy by rail
or by the A1 highway.
The main farmhouse
can be rented as a whole or seamlessly divided into two private apartments, each with a separate
entrance, private patio for dining al fresco and separate access to the pool. Amenities include satellite TV, fans, telephone, stereo, guest safe, Jacuzzi showers and tubs, dishwashers, washing machines and wireless internet access.
The owner lives
in a separate villa on the estate. She has taken such care with the décor that
everything is pretty and harmonious as well as comfortable. She loves to welcome
guests to her private gardens.

"I
can't say enough about our Villa. I was still awe-struck after being there a week.
I can't believe the accommodations we received for the price we paid. It was the
most beautiful place I have ever stayed in. The owners were delightful."
