The cozy villages along the Trasimeno lake, Passignano, Tuoro and Castiglione del Lago, are easy to drive to, and a visit can be combined with a day on the water. The lake is surrounded by green rolling hills, dotted with ancient castles and medieval villages. Besides the beautiful Cortona, a must, also Perugia, Arezzo, Montepulciano and Siena are within a one-hour drive.

    Cortona is a beautiful village nestled in the beautiful Tuscan nature and also the main cultural and tourist center of the Val di Chiana aretina. Thanks to its location you will be able to admire beautiful views with breathtaking vistas, relax strolling through the characteristic historic center and enjoy fantastic Tuscan cuisine, all accompanied by a relaxing atmosphere that will allow you to spend your days to the fullest.

About the estate

Agriturismo Terra di Cortona is an 18th century country house that has been renovated by preserving the original features of the building. The Passerini family owned this property in the past, then the country house underwent some interventions over time and at different stages, which modified the original use as a manor house into a house for tenant farmers where some families of farmers, in charge of land growing, lived all together.

Since the 1950s the country house became property of the Banelli family, who has decided to renovate the building in the recent years and to transform it in the present holiday house.

You are very welcome here.
