Fabulous villa in 4 acres below Cortona- pool and wonderful al fresco cooking

San Marco's drive winds through its olive grove, passes its wrought iron gates and up its avenue of pencil pines before arriving at this classic Italian villa, where our wonderful 'housekeeper' will greet you. Completely refurbished & with a wonderful poolhouse, the tranquil Villa San Marco is set in its parklike grounds of 4 acres, surrounded by fields, yet it has stunning views down the valley to Lake Trasimeno and also up the hill to the Etruscan city of Cortona, which alone would take many weeks to explore. The villa is spacious, bright, beautifully decorated, elegantly furnished with many antiques and it has a warm family atmosphere. The refurbishment created 6 new bathrooms (1 in the poolhouse), 2 fabulous 'cooks' kitchens (one indoors and one outside), a breakfast room with doors opening directly into the ivy-clad pergola, total redecoration and huge 'behind the scenes' improvements, e.g. very high specification hot water, heating and electricity systems.
