Imagine waking each morning to sweeping views of vineyards, olive groves, and rolling Tuscan hills. Then strolling into town just minutes later for cappuccino with friends, lunch in the piazza, or an evening aperitivo as the village comes to life. At Villa San Michel, you don’t have to choose between the romance of the Tuscan countryside and the convenience of vibrant Italian village life. You can have both. Not to mention just a few minutes walk to the train.
Perched above one of Tuscany’s most captivating valleys, this beautifully restored noble Padronale villa offers a rare combination of classic and subtle elegance, modern luxury, and effortless access to everything that makes life in Italy so extraordinary.
Built in the 1800s and impeccably renovated from top to bottom, the property has been transformed into a turnkey retreat where historic character meets contemporary sophistication.
Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the smooth microcement floors and hand-finished hand-finished plaster walls to the bespoke bathrooms and one-of-a-kind handmade kitchen ready to host your gathering of family and friends.
What makes this home truly exceptional is its lifestyle. Surrounded by lush lawns with wide sweeping views of olive groves, and vineyards. It feels wonderfully exclusive yet the heart of town, with its cafés, restaurants, wine bars, and lively piazzas, are just moments away.
Days unfold at a slower pace here. Morning cappuccino on the terrace overlooking the hills. Long lunches in the shade. Evening cocktails on the patio as the sun slips behind the vineyards. And after dark, a soak in the hot tub beneath the Tuscan sky.
The villa was designed for entertaining on every scale. Spacious indoor and outdoor living areas flow effortlessly together, accommodating intimate dinners or grand celebrations.
On New Year’s Eve, guests gather on the terraces to watch fireworks illuminate the valley below. A magical tradition that captures the spirit of the home.
Occupying the entire second floor, the spectacular primary suite is a private sanctuary. The oversized bedroom embraces a refined minimalist aesthetic, complemented by dual luxury bathrooms and a cozy media lounge with an electronic fireplace, creating the perfect retreat in every season.
Above, the third floor offers three/four additional guest bedrooms, providing comfortable and private accommodations for family and friends. Also on this level is the games room with pool table, sitting area and original cut-stone fireplace
For cooler months, two magnificent ancient stone fireplaces anchor the living room/dining room, and kitchen, bringing warmth and atmosphere to the villa’s historic interiors.
An unexpected bonus is the beautifully appointed guest cottage, completely independent and fully self-contained with its own kitchen, living room, dining area, and bedroom. And of course, an additional fireplace and wood burning pizza oven. It is the perfect retreat for visiting family and friends, or extended stays. It offers privacy and comfort without compromise.
Rarely does a property combine noble Tuscan heritage, uncompromising modern luxury, panoramic views, and walkable access to village life so seamlessly. Villa San Michel is more than a home—it is an invitation to live the Tuscany that most people only dream about.
Located in Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany, this property offers easy access to regional transport including Arezzo Train Station (20 min). Surrounded by Tuscan countryside, it boasts close proximity to historic towns, fine dining, and prestigious golf clubs. The location balances peaceful nature with cultural attractions and convenient connections to Florence and Perugia airports.
Da oltre 70 anni, Alunno Immobiliare - Cortona Real Estate è un punto di riferimento nella vendita di proprietà di prestigio a Cortona e in tutta la Toscana.
Tre generazioni della famiglia Alunno hanno trasformato l’attività immobiliare in una vera vocazione, fondata su integrità, profonda conoscenza del mercato e autentica passione per il territorio. Fondata nel 1950 da Giovanni Alunno Senior, l’agenzia è stata tra le prime a intuire il fascino internazionale dei casali toscani e delle dimore rurali storiche. Negli anni ’70, grazie alla collaborazione con investitori stranieri alla ricerca di case di campagna abbandonate, la società ha contribuito in modo significativo alla riscoperta e valorizzazione del patrimonio architettonico toscano — immobili che oggi rappresentano l’essenza del vivere raffinato in campagna.
Parallelamente alla mediazione, la famiglia Alunno ha sviluppato per oltre trent’anni un’importante esperienza nel settore edilizio e dell’ospitalità, acquisendo una visione completa che abbraccia sviluppo, ristrutturazione, investimento e gestione immobiliare. Questo approccio integrato consente di accompagnare i clienti in ogni fase dell’acquisizione con competenza e riservatezza.
Oggi Giovanni Alunno, laureato in giurisprudenza con esperienza professionale a Roma, guida l’agenzia con un approccio moderno e internazionale, unendo solide competenze legali a un costante aggiornamento professionale e a una consolidata rete di collaborazione con architetti, notai, tecnici e consulenti finanziari del territorio.
Il Lifestyle di Cortona e della Toscana
Acquistare una proprietà a Cortona non significa semplicemente investire in un immobile, ma scegliere uno stile di vita straordinario. Arroccata su una collina con viste spettacolari sulla Valdichiana e sul Lago Trasimeno, Cortona offre un perfetto equilibrio tra storia etrusca, vivacità culturale e eleganza senza tempo.
La Toscana è sinonimo di lusso discreto: vigneti ondulati, oliveti secolari, borghi medievali, arte rinascimentale, eccellenze enogastronomiche e un ritmo di vita autentico e armonioso. Privacy, paesaggi panoramici, patrimonio architettonico e una comunità internazionale sofisticata ma accogliente rendono questa regione una delle destinazioni più ambite al mondo.
Che si tratti di un casale in pietra finemente restaurato con piscina a sfioro, di una villa storica con soffitti affrescati o di un’elegante residenza all’interno delle antiche mura cittadine, ogni proprietà incarna l’essenza del vivere toscano: bellezza, identità e valore nel tempo.
Alunno Immobiliare - Cortona Real Estate non si limita a intermediare immobili: offre l’accesso a un autentico lifestyle toscano, fondato su tradizione, passione e relazioni di fiducia destinate a durare nel tempo.
