About this property
Casa Fontelunga, a villa in the Tuscan hills with a private pool
Casa Fontelunga is a charming Tuscan country house set on a panoramic hillside just minutes from Cortona. Surrounded by our olive trees and immersed in complete privacy, the villa offers a warm and authentic atmosphere, preserving its original rustic character while providing modern comfort.
The property features a private swimming pool with open views over the valley, a three‑level garden facing the sunset, and quiet outdoor spaces ideal for relaxing after a day exploring Tuscany and Umbria.
Thanks to its strategic location, Casa Fontelunga is easy to reach and perfectly positioned for visiting Cortona, Montepulciano, Perugia, Assisi, the Trasimeno Lake and the Val d’Orcia. You will enjoy the feeling of being immersed in nature while staying close to main roads, services and the Cortona train station.
Located in Cortona, this vacation home is in a rural area. Fattoria Le Capezzine and La Braccesca Winery are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Lake Trasimeno and Parterre Garden. Sailing and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and hunting nearby. Visit our Cortona travel guide

Everything was great, and the host was helpful and very personable. A perfect location to see Cortona, Florence and Sienna. Fairly close to great wineries as well!
Very thoughtfully restored old Villa just minutes from Cortona . The house and grounds are exactly as pictured. The very private road that leads there is a bit rough and seems very remote at first but after you venture out once you see that every convenience is minuets away and beautiful Cortona as well.
A car is a good idea if you plan to go around Tuscany. 2 trains in town go everywhere but it helps to get to train and town with a car.
The host is very responsive and hands on.
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Fontelunga. The garden and the view are amazing. The house is quite simply and clean. Michele is very accommodating and a pleasant host. We would absolutely come back again and can definitively recommend this beautiful place.
We chose this property to experience an iconic Tuscan home, and it delivered! Rustic is an understatement, the house is very old, but it was charming, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool was lovely, as were the views, and we loved the local dining, grocery store, and the village of Cortona. Also I should mention how quiet and private it is. Lots of stairs (it's three levels), so keep that in mind when booking!

Extraordinary Holidays
It was a really great vacation. Beautiful landscape, remote location, view over whole val di chiana till Montepulciano. Everything was as expected. Michele is always helpful, no matter the time you need him. Perugia and Siena are just an hour's drive away. Five out of five stars.- We will come back- for sure
This was perfect for us. The only feedback is the inside pictures are a bit different than reality. But don’t let that worry you. The kitchen is well equipped, the pool is crystal clear and clean and refreshing. The host was amazing! Don’t forget to feed the cats. You can buy cat food for less than a euro at Conad, the grocery store.

A week of quiet beauty
We have just returned from a wonderful stay in Tuscany. Our first week was spent at this home. Although the pool was closed for the season we enjoyed walks up the mountain behind the villa and prepared meals in the kitchen which was adequately equipped for every need. The house was very clean and spacious and Michele Catoni ,our host, was gracious, swift and helpful when we had specific needs. We also enjoyed an evening in cooking class with Donatella , his talented mother. Delicious!
Cortona is within an easy drive to several towns, so this villa was the perfect location for day trips.
Our family of four loved this rustic stone house. It was the perfect location to have as a home base for our Tuscan town hopping. It felt like home away from home. We wish we could have stayed longer. We love the quiet location and pool. We also enjoyed the provided olive oil soap. Our host was very accommodating and gave many suggestions for activities around the area.
Insgesamt war es ein toller Aufenthalt mit einem Manko. 5 Meter vom Außensitzplatz ist ein sehr schöner kleiner Gartenteich durch den die Stechmückenbelastung recht hoch war, sodass wir abends dann eher am Pool saßen, weil es dort nicht ganz so viele Mücken gab. An den Fenstern zum Glück Mückengitter.Netter Kontakt zum Besitzer Michele, der viele Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants für die Gäste bereit hält.
Natale in famiglia in luogo accogliente e immerso nella natura.

Nice Pool and Lovely Setting
The setting is lovely and the pool and the pool area are fantastic.
The house is nice and is well-equipped in terms of crockery, cutlery and saucepans.The furnishings are a bit basic - it could do with proper armchairs or sofas (there is just a fold out bed and a canvas chair). The bedroom on the top floor is at the top of an open staircase.
The nearest shop - which has everything you need - is a 5 minute drive and there is a restaurant which you can easily walk to in about 20 minutes. My children strongly recommend the gelateria in the Via Nazionale in Cortona - a short way up on the right as you walk up from the Piazza Garibaldi.
The owner, who is very pleasant and helpful, wanted us to pay in cash but didn't tell us until the day before we left.
We had a fantastic holiday - I would recommend this property for the pool, the setting and the terrace.
