Description
Set in a peaceful location in Southern Tuscany, Villa Thania is surrounded by olive trees and boasts spectacular views across the Val di Chiana. The many paths around the villa allow you to explore the countryside on your doorstep.
Villa Thania is an 18th century stone house, sleeping up to 10 guests in five bedrooms. Whilst the villa has been recently renovated, each bedroom is tastefully furnished with antique pieces typical of the region, transporting you back in time. What’s more, all bedrooms are en-suite and the master bedroom even features a roll top bath, perfect for relaxing in your Tuscan retreat. Four of the bedrooms are set over the two floors within the main villa, whilst the fifth bedroom is located in the annexe, suiting any guests that appreciate a little extra privacy at the end of the day.
The villa contains many spaces to socialise, from movie nights in the warm sitting room with its comfortable sofas to early evening evenings in the limonaia. This wrought-iron conservatory enables guests to enjoy a bit of the outdoors whatever the time of year, maybe even whilst relishing a glass of local vino nobile (or two!).
Outside, there is a pool to cool down during the warmer months, alongside a luscious garden and terrace with table and chairs. Meals can be devoured al-fresco; be-it something home-cooked on the barbecue or in the well-equipped kitchen.
Despite the rural location, the charming town of Cortona is only 6km away. Here you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, a bank and a number of bars and restaurants - great for those evenings when you don’t fancy cooking. The Etruscan town is rich in history with a walled centre and many Renaissance buildings.
The villa is also well-situated for sightseeing around Southern Tuscany and the nearby region of Umbria. Nature lovers will thoroughly enjoy Lake Trasimeno Regional Park – Italy’s fourth largest lake. Sweet-toothed guests will be attracted to the historic city of Perugia to sample some of the city’s chocolate treats whilst other stunning cities within an hour’s drive include Arezzo and Siena. /n Security deposit /n €500 paid in cash to the owner upon arrival and refunded upon departure, subject to full inspection. /n Arrival time /n 3.30 pm – 6.30 p.m. Check in after 6.30 p.m. upon request (extra €40, payable locally). /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n Changeover day /n Saturday.
