In the heart of the Tuscan countryside, on the highest hill in Farneta di Cortona, sits a cozy, elegant property. The feeling here is instantly magical, as you find yourself surrounded by a vast grove of centuries-old pines and cypresses, a Japanese garden and a fountain with beautiful roses. Soon you will discover that the 18 rooms of this elegant villa are each named after a mythical female character. Each room is different and furnished with precious antiques along with the most modern comforts. The distinctive charms of Villa Petrischio extend to its leisure offerings, which include a sparkling outdoor swimming pool under the Tuscan sun, and opportunities to explore the countryside trails on foot or horseback. Then refresh yourself at Ristorante la Terrazza, the poolside restaurant and bar with panoramic views of the Valdichiana Valley, serving regional Tuscan dishes and a selection of 300 wines. In all that you do here, this antique residence will welcome you with renowned Italian hospitality and la dolce far niente—the carefree life.

Why is this resort unique?

The Villa was built in the 18th century and belonged to the Lombardi Counts on the highest hill of Farneta, a small village 10 miles from Cortona. The building maintains the original architecture and characteristics, including the brick arches and oak beams in the ceilings.
