Vacation Rental Description
Its panoramic position and its peaceful isolation amongst the verdant mountains of Cortona make the farmhouse La Coccinella one of the most attractive accommodation facilities in the Cortona area and surroundings. The farm is located 10 miles away from Cortona in a position that allows it to benefit from the warmth of the sun all day long. The farm, surrounded by lawns and forests, is perched at a height of 650 metres a.s.l. and enjoys a stunning view of the valley of the river Minimella and the Tuscan and Umbrian Apennines.
During the day besides going for a swim in the pool, basking in the sun and reading a good book in the shade of a nearby grove, you will be able to take a tour of a our farm consisting of woods, tilled land, lawns, ponds, olive groves, vineyards, vegetable gardens, orchards, a chicken farm and a small flock of sheep.
Depending on the season you may have a chance to taste the natural and typical products of the woods such as strawberries, blackberries, mushrooms, chestnuts and the produce of our garden such as melons, watermelons, cucumbers, etc. The farm is completely family-run and all people here wish to cater for your every need and make your holiday as enjoyable as possible.
