About this property
Villa Il Querceto is a charming and elegant countryside escape set in the peaceful village of Montalla, just a short distance from the historic hilltop town of Cortona in Tuscany. Surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful rural scenery, it offers a wonderfully tranquil setting while still providing easy access to local culture, restaurants, and classic Tuscan experiences.
Welcoming up to 10 guests, Villa Il Querceto is arranged across a main house and a separate guest house, creating an ideal layout for families or groups who want both togetherness and privacy. The accommodation includes six bedrooms in total, thoughtfully configured to suit a mix of couples, friends, and children. The interiors are warm and inviting, blending rustic charm with modern comforts, and offering multiple spaces to relax, dine, and unwind.
The main house is set over two floors, featuring a bright open-plan kitchen and sitting area, along with bedrooms on both levels, including a double bedroom and a private single room with its own en-suite bathroom. The guest house also spans two levels and includes a charming dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, and additional bedrooms, as well as a mezzanine-style lounge with TV that provides a cosy retreat.
Outside, Villa Il Querceto’s landscaped gardens are centred around a private open-air swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers and peaceful countryside views. There are also inviting outdoor dining areas, including a covered space for long al fresco meals, plus shaded seating beneath a gazebo—perfect for slow mornings and sunset aperitifs in the Tuscan air.
Villa Il Querceto is set in the peaceful hamlet of Montalla, a tranquil corner of the Tuscan countryside just a short drive from the beautiful hilltop town of Cortona. Surrounded by rolling green landscapes, olive groves, and scenic country roads, the villa offers a wonderfully relaxing base for guests who want to experience Tuscany at its most authentic, while still being close to lively towns, culture, and local dining.
Cortona is one of the region’s highlights, known for its medieval streets, charming piazzas, excellent restaurants, and panoramic views over the Val di Chiana. From here, guests can spend days browsing artisan shops, visiting historic churches and museums, or simply enjoying an aperitivo with a view.
Thanks to its central position, Villa Il Querceto is also perfectly placed for exploring wider Tuscany and even nearby Umbria. Scenic day trips can include charming villages, vineyards, and local markets, while the surrounding countryside is ideal for walking, cycling, and slow afternoons discovering the region’s timeless landscapes. With its combination of rural privacy and easy access to Tuscany’s most loved destinations, Villa Il Querceto’s location is ideal for a classic Italian escape filled with relaxation, food, history, and unforgettable scenery.
