Villa Scannagallo
In the midst of one of the greenest and most fertile areas of Tuscany, at the center of a verdant farm of characteristic vineyards and silver-hued olive trees, Villa Scannagallo looks out over the Valdichiana, with one's gaze finally coming to rest on the characteristic hill-top town of Cortona.
Strategically located at an easily navigable distance from some of the most important cities of art in both Tuscany and Umbria (Siena, Arezzo, Florence, Perugia and Assisi), a stay at the villa provides the opportunity for both total relax and daily excursions to many famous cities and medieval hamlets where one can discover the fascination of this beautiful land.

Here you will experience a new way of being on vacation. The family motto of the villa's owners is: "make our guests feel that they are far from home while feeling at home".

You will be spoiled and looked after by a helpful staff - within respectful limits of your privacy - who will seek to satisfy all of your requests, whether you wish for a reservation at a special restaurant, a dinner prepared in the tranquility of the villa, horseback riding, private guided tours, advice on excursions, antique rental cars, massages and yoga, or even a trip in a hot air balloon.
Upon arrival, you will receive a basket of Tuscan specialty products, and in the morning you will be served sweets and hot rolls to start off your day with a delicious breakfast.
 
You are sure to experience an especially memorable holiday in an area rich with history. And, more specifically, in fascinating surroundings, immersed in a fairy-tale garden, amidst the violet of the iris and the red and white of the rose gardens - carefully designed by a noted architect - which can be admired from the bedrooms through large glass-paned doors, also ideal for taking in the soft hills crowning the horizon.
The attractive swimming pool, with lounge chairs and umbrellas, is circled by a wooden deck, gently lapped by the clear blue water. Nearby, a gazebo provides the perfect area for outdoor dining or for simply spending an evening in the fresh air enjoying one of the spectacular sunsets that this valley offers – its picture perfect vistas appearing to be the artifice of an expert hand. Once the sun has set, you will be left with only stars to keep you company, along with, perhaps, the humming of cicadas on summer nights; timeless and simple elements that in this marvelous setting add to the magic which dilates the senses and sharpens memory, aiding to capture a never-to-be-forgotten moment.

The place is also ideal for families with children who can play on the lawn benefiting from the healthy countryside air.
For shopping, the villa is quite near one of the largest factory outlet malls in Tuscany. Here one can conveniently acquire some of the most famous brands such as Dolce e Gabbana, Coveri, Ferrè, Fendi, Cavalli, Cardin, Klein etc…, enjoying savings up to 40% or more. Further north, guests can shop at the separate outlets of Prada and Gucci.
The interior of the villa has been tastefully renovated to create a bright atmosphere, admirably fusing the classical with the modern, while fully respecting Italian cultural tradition.
The contemporary transformations of the old barn provide a fascinating atmosphere marked by games of light created by the ancient brickwork casting intricate lacy shadows throughout the space when, at sunset and dawn, golden rays penetrate the 'openwork'.

 

The bedrooms, naturally bright and endowed with large drapes, are decorated in Tuscan style with all modern facilities.
The interior of the villa is characterized by a dynamic and modern atmosphere, bright and welcoming, decorated with special attention being made to elegance and comfort.
The ceiling with exposed wooden beams and the finishing touches done in terracotta and wrought iron all make this residence a real jewel.
