Whether seeking a holiday with family and friends in Italy or a romantic Tuscany wedding venue, this magnificent 17th century residence allows you to step back in time in the most beautiful surroundings with views towards the hilltop village of Cortona.
Follow the footsteps of royalty and dignitaries who have attended gala dinners at this historic villa which dates back to the early 1600s. Having recently undergone a sensitive restoration, up to 18 guests can stay at Villa Dardano across its nine bedrooms upstairs, many featuring original frescoes, four-poster beds and marble bathrooms, two with luxurious jacuzzi baths. A wealth of original features can be found from treasured tapestries and chandeliers to antique furnishings and terracotta floors alongside modern touches including air-conditioning.
The Tuscan ambience of warmth and elegance continues downstairs across the vast living space with vaulted ceilings, archways, chic sofas, antique billiards and a long dining table for the most delicious Tuscan feasts, ideal if you wish to hire a chef for a special meal. You may prefer to dine al-fresco by the stone-columned gazebo, set within the 6000m2 enclosed estate. With flowering oleander, inviting lawns, terracotta pots of lemon trees as well as century-old trees, the gardens are truly enchanting, not to mention the impressive swimming pool.
Embrace the beauty of nearby Cortona, reached within a 10-minute drive, as you admire its medieval lanes, Renaissance buildings and Etruscan remains as well as the captivating scenery which inspired Frances Mayes’ ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’. Umbria’s Lake Trasimeno is also a short distance away, perfect for a day out walking, cycling, picnicking on lakeside shores or enjoying boat trips – don’t miss the picturesque lakeside towns of Castiglione del Lago and Passignano sul Trasimeno.
Elsewhere, sample the prestigious wines of Montepulciano, try pecorino in Pienza, enjoy delicious Umbrian fare in Perugia or discover charming osterie in Arezzo. For a truly spectacular day out, you could even venture to Siena, Florence or even Rome in this enchanting region of central Italy.
