I Cipressi, 5 bedrooms with pool near Cortona

I Cipressi is a two-storey villa of ancient Tuscan architectural tradition, situated in a delightful garden that has the dimensions and characteristics of a park and extends into a large pool area. The spaciousness of both the exterior and interior easily accommodates many people. Modern comforts have been discreetly and tastefully integrated with vintage furnishings. The history of the place is also reflected in its conspicuous trees, some of which are centuries old.

Some rooms also have beds with original wrought iron headboards.

In the center of the courtyard, flanked by a garage for a secure parking space, is a choreographed antique covered well. Lemon trees, geraniums in large terracotta pots and flower beds with hydrangeas line the villa. A red-flowered pomegranate tree and flowering wisteria enriching the pergola add vibrant splashes of color.

It is bordered on one side by fruit trees, and on the other by lavender and rosemary hedges and oleander bushes, which form a protective screen.
