Villa Santa Margherita is located in the heart of the most beautiful part of Tuscany, in a dominant position surrounded by a garden of olive trees. This lovely country villa, which has been completely renovated, can accommodate up to 15 people. It represents the ideal villa for those who are looking for a quiet holiday characterized by privacy, relax and elegance. It is swathed in an atmosphere of the past, and is far away from modern life frenzy. But attention has been paid to preserve rural traditions at the same time.

Villa Santa Margherita has been built on the hillside and is very close to the Etruscan town of Cortona (which is within walking distance). In the wonderful frame of Santa Maria Nuova an impressive church of the 16th century that was designed by famous architect Giorgio Vasari.

This villa is a few hundred meters away from another villa we offer in the same area. The two houses are linked by a lovely path among olive trees and can accommodate up to 24 people, meeting the needs of larger groups of people. Both the villas enjoy a privileged view onto the valley below, as if they were on a terrace onto the Val di Chiana. Its strategic location makes of Villa Santa Margherita the ideal departure place to reach easily and quickly the most important artistic and cultural destinations in Tuscany and Umbria, such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, Assisi, Perugia and a thousand more. The swimming pool, the olive trees garden, the blossoming pergola and the old outdoor wood stove make this place an oasis of peace and relax.

The general atmosphere is of endless serenity, in perfect harmony with unique landscapes, which are characterized by changing colors with the alternation of seasons: warm fall colors, silent winter white, spring awakening and summer happiness. A timeless place and a romantic atmosphere will be the basic ingredients of your holidays, together with the exclusiveness and privacy of a villa surrounded by nature.

The villa can accommodate up to 15 people in 7 double rooms: 6 in the main house and 1 bedroom in the guest house next to the swimming pool.

The villa has two floors: you can enter the ground floor from the garden, while you can access the first floor through an open plan staircase in terracotta tiles. Wooden ceilings and original floors frame these elegant and welcoming rooms.

On the ground floor there is a big living room, a sitting room with fireplace and a modern fully equipped kitchen that can meet all your needs. A large shady pergola, completely furnished and close to the living room and the kitchen, will give you the chance to have lunch or dinner in the open air or to relax reading a book and enjoying the beautiful view onto the valley.

Two double bedrooms are also located on the ground floor, and one has got an idependent entrance from the garden. Both these bedrooms have in-suite bathroom with shower. On the first floor you can find the other 4 double bedrooms: 3 have a king-size bed, whereas the other has got twin beds. Every room has an in-suite bathroom with shower or bathtub. They are all different from one another, but they all show the charm and elegance that characterize the whole property. Every room is painted with a different color and has different furniture, but there is a wonderful view onto the valley from every window. Nothing is left to chance; the colors and the tiniest details will make your stay a unique experience.
