Villa Bacanella  

Just outside Cortona’s center, this pet-friendly villa sits among rolling Tuscan hills near Villa Bramasole and the Medicea Fortress of Girifalco. It’s about 5 km from the city center, a short drive to Santa Maria delle Grazie and Cortona Cathedral, and roughly 14.5 km from Lake Trasimeno — Sant’Egidio Airport is about 59.6 km away.

Rooms feel lived-in and easy: a full kitchen with full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven and stovetop, a private patio, and a flat-screen TV with satellite. Bathrooms feature a deep soaking tub and a rainfall showerhead, and the grounds include a garden and views that wake you up slowly.

Dip in the outdoor pool, grab a rental bicycle, or fire up the barbecue grills for an al fresco evening. The villa also offers tour/ticket assistance and complimentary wireless internet, plus a quiet garden to lounge in.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and free self parking is available onsite.

Self-cater with the full kitchen or use the on-site barbecue area to cook up local flavors from nearby markets. The setup is ideal for relaxed, home-style meals after a day exploring Cortona.
