The Old Portico

Surrounded by the green hills of Tuscany, just a few kilometres from Cortona, lies this enchanting 333 m² house, along with 24 m² of outbuildings and a swimming pool. This country house, with its stone façades, blends perfectly into its natural surroundings, characterised by lush trees and plants. Roses, wisteria and jasmine fill the air with intoxicating scents as you sip a nice cup of tea on the veranda. On entering, you are greeted by a double living room with a fireplace, an open-plan kitchen, a dining room also featuring a fireplace, a room with a baking oven that serves as a study, a bathroom with a sauna and shower, and a study or single bedroom. A staircase leads to the first floor, where there is another bedroom, a bathroom with a window, a whirlpool bath and a shower, a corridor with a built-in wardrobe, a spacious bedroom with a double bed, and a gallery leading to the terrace. Also on the first floor is another bedroom with original 18th-century tiled floors and a bathroom with a bath and shower. The old bakery room, with a beautiful glass wall, is the perfect spot to spend rainy days sitting with a book and a cup of coffee by the warmth of the fireplace. The swimming pool is situated at the rear of the house and overlooks the lush garden, offering moments of relaxation and tranquillity. The magical atmosphere of this place is already evident as you enter the property, beneath the trees in the car park, where in summer you are greeted by green leaves and in autumn by golden ones. This country house is situated in Pergo, a village in the municipality of Cortona (AR), close to Lake Trasimeno and renowned towns such as Arezzo, Perugia and Montepulciano. It is ideal as an investment for tourist accommodation or as a home where you can enjoy moments of tranquillity surrounded by nature.
