VILLA LE CONTESSE – A DREAM NESTLED IN THE HILLS OF CORTONA
Our Exclusive Listing
There are places that speak to the heart, residences where time seems to stand still and every window frames a view capable of stirring deep emotion. Villa Le Contesse is one of these rare properties: a haven of peace and beauty set in the hills of Cortona, one of the most enchanting towns in Tuscany.
This unique property, dating back to the late 19th century, enjoys a privileged south-west exposure and an extraordinary 360-degree view. Bathed in sunlight from dawn to dusk, it offers spectacular vistas over the valley below, Lake Trasimeno and the timeless skyline of Cortona. A living panorama that changes colour with the seasons and becomes an integral part of everyday life.
A privileged location, an oasis of peace
Just 800 metres from the historic centre of Cortona, Villa Le Contesse allows you to reach the town easily by car in only three minutes. Although so close to the heart of Cortona, the villa enjoys absolute privacy: here, silence, nature and light create a rare, intimate and restorative atmosphere.
The main villa – Elegance, history and enchanting views
The main villa, measuring approximately 580 sqm, has been finely restored and is arranged over three levels, each characterised by spacious, bright interiors full of charm.
On the ground floor, there are two large living rooms, ideal for welcoming guests or enjoying pleasant moments with family, a bright dining room with fireplace, two kitchens, a bathroom and a laundry room. This level also benefits from four independent entrances, making the spaces extremely functional and versatile.
The first floor houses four elegant bedrooms, a study with large panoramic windows and a bathroom. The rooms are refined and welcoming, enhanced by high ceilings and windows that frame the landscape like paintings. Two staircases, one main and one secondary, connect this level with the rest of the villa.
On the second floor, there are three further bedrooms, a bathroom, a storage room and a charming panoramic room, a space where the beauty of the landscape becomes the true protagonist.
The property has two vehicular entrances and, thanks to its internal layout, could also lend itself to being divided into two independent residential units. The methane gas heating system is separate for each floor, ensuring comfort and practicality throughout the year.
The tower – A place of inspiration and wonder
Next to the villa stands a tower of unique charm, recently restored and internally connected to the main residence. Arranged over three levels, the tower culminates in a panoramic room with windows on all four sides, offering breathtaking views.
This is a rare and evocative space, perfect as an artist’s studio, private library, reading room or a place dedicated to meditation, creativity and contemplation.
A centuries-old park, a dream garden
Surrounding Villa Le Contesse is a private park of great charm, rich in centuries-old trees, oaks, holm oaks, pines, cypresses and numerous varieties of plants. Nineteenth-century stone basins, antique benches and hidden corners create a romantic and timeless atmosphere.
The property also offers the possibility of creating a panoramic swimming pool, subject to verification and the necessary authorisations, which could enjoy spectacular views over the valley and the surrounding landscape.
A prestigious residence, a unique living experience
Villa Le Contesse is not simply a home: it is a refuge for the soul, a place where one can rediscover balance and serenity, surrounded by history, nature and the authentic beauty of Tuscany.
Perfect as a prestigious private residence, a representative home or an exclusive real estate investment, this property offers endless possibilities for use and enhancement.

A Trusted and Local Real Estate Agency in the Heart of Tuscany

My name is Lorenzo Lucani, founder of Tosca
A Trusted and Local Real Estate Agency in the Heart of Tuscany

My name is Lorenzo Lucani, founder of Toscana Servizi Immobiliari. I was born and raised in Cortona, as were my parents, and for nearly three decades I have dedicated my professional life to helping clients discover, acquire and sell exceptional properties in one of the most beautiful areas of Tuscany.

Since 1997, I have worked as a real estate agent with a particular focus on prestigious residences, historic homes, country estates, villas and distinctive properties throughout Cortona and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

My roots here are an essential part of the service I offer. A lifetime spent in Cortona has given me an intimate knowledge of the territory, its history, its people and its property market. This local expertise, combined with a genuine passion for Tuscany and an international approach to real estate, allows me to offer clients far more than a simple property search.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of representing and selling remarkable properties to clients from Italy and around the world, working with buyers and sellers with very different backgrounds, expectations and levels of investment. Whatever the value of the transaction, my philosophy remains the same: every client deserves discretion, personal attention, transparency and the highest level of professional care.

At Toscana Servizi Immobiliari, we believe that purchasing a home in Tuscany is rarely just a real estate transaction. For many international buyers, it is the fulfilment of a long-held dream and often the beginning of a new chapter in life.

For this reason, I personally accompany my clients throughout the entire process: from understanding their wishes and selecting the most suitable properties, to negotiations, technical and legal due diligence, and finally the signing of the deed. My aim is to make even the most complex transaction feel clear, secure and carefully managed.

The same dedication is offered to property owners who entrust us with the sale of their homes. Each property is personally evaluated and carefully selected, with particular attention to its character, positioning and international potential.

The principle behind Toscana Servizi Immobiliari is simple: to provide discerning buyers and sellers with a complete, highly professional and genuinely personal real estate service.

My academic background has also shaped the way I approach my profession. I hold a degree in Philosophy and a Master’s Degree in History from the University of Siena. This passion for history, culture and the identity of places gives me a particular appreciation for the architectural and historical heritage of the properties I represent.

I have been a member of FIAIP – the Italian Federation of Professional Real Estate Agents – since 2001. From 2017 to 2021, I served as Foreign Sector Delegate for the Tuscany Region, Vice President for the Province of Arezzo, and as a member of the FIAIP Tuscany Regional Council.

International real estate has always been an important part of my professional activity. I regularly attend specialist training programmes, including CIPS – Certified International Property Specialist, TRC – Transnational Referral Certification, and executive courses at SDA Bocconi University, and I personally participate in international real estate exhibitions and professional events across Europe.

Today, this combination of deep local roots, international experience and almost thirty years of real estate expertise enables Toscana Servizi Immobiliari to offer clients a highly specialised service in the Tuscan luxury property market.

Our offices are located in the historic centre of Cortona, overlooking the magnificent Piazza della Repubblica. It is a place that perfectly represents who we are: deeply connected to the history and beauty of Tuscany, yet accustomed to welcoming clients from every part of the world.

Whether you are searching for an elegant residence in Cortona, a traditional Tuscan farmhouse, a historic estate, a villa surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, or you are considering selling an exceptional property in this unique part of Italy, we would be delighted to welcome you and guide you personally through every stage of your journey.
