Property Description

 

Cortona is located in the provincia Arezzo,in the region Tuscany ,central Italy. The town is about 10 miles from the border with Umbria, and its magnificent views extend over the green fields and hills of Tuscany and Umbria, extending beyond the large Lake Trasimeno. Cortona is a town which you can use as a base for your relaxing holiday. The town is attractive and welcoming, with many inviting bars and restaurants (Trattorias) in the central piazzas, and also museums and churches, art galleries and very good ice cream.
At the foot of Cortona, there is the ValdiChiana valley and about few miles from town there is an old farmhouse, turned into a luxurious suites accommodation, called “La Mucchia casa vacanze”, the name “La Mucchia” was taken from the small torrent which crosses the Chiana valley. The building covers an area of 1,000 sq. meters (10,764 sq. ft) it is located at the foot of the beautiful town of Cortona. It was built in 1760 by a noble family called Fabbri. In 2005, the present owners obtained the house in a state of ruins.     
The renovation lasted three years (reminds of Under the Tuscan Sun) and has followed the instructions of the superintendent for Cultural Heritage. According to the old-world design provided by the town of Cortona, all original materials were recovered and used to rebuild the estate. The ultimate goal was to maintain the appearance of its age; at the same time equip it with modern comforts. That is why every apartment is outfitted with internet, a satellite TV multilingual set, A/C, and heating; also each bedroom has its own private bathroom. Particular care was taken to furnish the house in the classic Tuscan style “arte povera”, as well as the old-world style kitchen decorated with hand-painted ceramic tiles. The house is currently divided into eight apartments. It is surrounded by 7,000 sq. meters of land used for lawn, garden and other various services. Some of these services include parking, a play area, swimming pool and soccer court.The old farmhouse has a revival after 300 years of abandons, and it is named : La Mucchia casa vacanze ; Suites farmhouse hotel, in Cortona.
