La Bella Cortona
La Bella Cortona is a recently built complex set in the plains between Castiglion Fiorentino and Cortona, just
North East of Lake Trasimeno, in the Valdichiana valley. The settings are quiet with nice views on Cortona and Castiglion Fiorentino, yet here you are very centrally located.
There are 3 apartments for rent in this newly built complex. The owners themselves have two apartments here as well, that they occasionally will use. There are two apartments with two bedrooms (4+2) and a third with an extra small bedroom (5+2). There is digital television with Italian channels, one english spoken and one french spoken channel. All three apartments have air conditioning.
La Bella Cortona consists of 3 buildings sharing one swimming pool (11 by 6 meters and between 1.60 and 2.20 meters deep). All buildings are of recent construction, but built exactly in the same style as the traditional farmhouses in the area.
One of the buildings is closed at the moment. The other has the two apartments of the owners and the third has the three apartments that are now being rented for the first time. The pictures were made when the furnishings were just finished, but already give a good idea of the spaces and level of quality one can expect in this holiday rental.
Here you can find information about Lake Trasimeno in Italy
