Nestled on a gentle hilltop in the heart of Tuscany, Villa Legaiole offers a relaxing escape just 4 km from Camucia and 8 km from the enchanting Etruscan hill town of Cortona. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and rolling landscapes, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the region and savouring all its cultural, culinary, and scenic highlights.
Nearby, Cortona invites you to wander its cobbled medieval lanes, such as Via Nazionale and Via del Gesù, pausing at viewpoints like Piazza Garibaldi for sweeping vistas of Val di Chiana and Lake Trasimeno.

Culinary delights are abundant: hearty ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, pici pasta, bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragù, extra-virgin olive oil, and local Chianina beef accompany robust Tuscan wines and sweet treats like cantucci and panforte.
