The property combines the architectural character of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse with spacious interiors, modern comforts and extraordinary outdoor spaces. Its secluded location offers privacy and tranquillity, whilst remaining a short distance from the famous historic centre of Cortona. Enjoying a privileged position in the hills of Cortona, Casale Poggio del Sole occupies an elevated spot overlooking the rolling countryside that has made this part of Tuscany world-famous. The estate is nestled within a landscape of woodland, open fields and cultivated land, creating a natural sense of seclusion without being isolated. Its south-east facing orientation ensures excellent sun exposure throughout the day, whilst the surrounding hills form an ever-changing backdrop to the house and gardens. This is a property designed for those seeking privacy, independence and a direct connection with the Tuscan landscape. Traditional architecture with contemporary comfort The main residence is spread over two floors and offers approximately 290 m² of floor area, of which approximately 289 m² is internal living space. Careful restoration has preserved the essential character of the original farmhouse through exposed stone walls, imposing wooden beams, traditional terracotta floors and carefully selected finishes. The interiors convey a sense of authenticity and solidity, whilst offering the level of comfort one would expect from a contemporary country residence. Generous and elegant reception areas The ground floor centres on a spacious formal living room featuring a monumental carved stone fireplace. Its proportions make it suitable for both intimate family life and larger gatherings, whilst the original materials create a warm and welcoming atmosphere all year round. The property’s architectural features are not merely used for decorative purposes. Stone, wood and terracotta form an integral part of the residence’s identity, creating interiors that remain closely linked to the history of the Tuscan countryside. A refined rustic-style kitchen The spacious, fully liveable kitchen combines traditional rustic style with contemporary functionality. A central island houses a private wine cooler, whilst the adjacent dining area enjoys abundant natural light and direct access to the outdoor spaces. This layout creates a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living, making the kitchen the ideal setting for informal meals, entertaining and long evenings spent with family and guests. Five bedrooms and five bathrooms The estate is described as having five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with accommodation designed to offer comfort and privacy. The bedrooms have the size and atmosphere of private suites rather than traditional bedrooms. One of the most striking features is the master bedroom, which boasts a second imposing stone fireplace positioned opposite the bed. Exposed trusses and timber ceilings reinforce the architectural character of the space, whilst the generous proportions allow each room to retain its own distinctive identity. Bathrooms inspired by private wellness spaces The bathrooms have been designed to recreate the atmosphere of private spa suites. Natural stone, refined mosaics and elegant bowl-style washbasins create sophisticated interiors that blend with the house’s rustic architecture without appearing overly formal. The result is a delicate balance between historic character and contemporary comfort. Self-contained guest accommodation A separate annexe offers additional accommodation for family members, guests or staff. Its independent location allows visitors to enjoy privacy whilst remaining fully connected to the main residence and its outdoor spaces. The presence of separate guest accommodation also makes the estate particularly well-suited to extended family life, seasonal use or a refined hospitality venture. A panoramic swimming pool The panoramic swimming pool is one of the distinctive features of Casale Poggio del Sole. Situated in a position overlooking the hills of Cortona and the surrounding valley, it is framed by paving made of local stone and flanked by a spacious sun terrace equipped for outdoor relaxation. An elegant pergola with an outdoor seating area creates a sheltered spot from which to enjoy the landscape, particularly during the warm evening light and Tuscan sunsets. Outdoor living in every season The outdoor spaces have been designed to extend the home’s experience into the surrounding countryside. Terraces, gardens, shaded areas and open lawns offer a variety of settings for dining, entertaining or simply contemplating the surroundings in peace. The property also includes a terrace and a balcony, which further strengthen the connection between the interiors and the surrounding views. The combination of open areas and sheltered spaces allows you to enjoy the estate for much of the year.
