Nonno Fernando is a farm built entirely of stone whose origins date back approximately to the early 19th century. In the recent renovation of the farm, the current owners have preserved the original design of the distribution of the various rooms. For the renovation of the farm, recycled materials were used both for the roofs and for the floors, covered in Tuscan terracotta. In addition, the exposed chestnut wood beams have been preserved. The farm is located in the lush Tuscan countryside, a few minutes from the seductive medieval town of Cortona, perched on a steep hill overlooking the Val di Chiana and Lake Trasimeno. The convenience of its location, well connected to the main road junctions and well served by the national railway network, represents a significant advantage for organizing excursions to the many surrounding villages and for visiting the main cities of Umbria and Tuscany. All this, enriched by the numerous high-quality food and wine proposals handed down by the Tuscan culinary tradition, with the unmistakable simple but intense flavors of typical dishes.

Nestled in the serene Val di Chiana between Siena and Arezzo, Albachiara is an exceptional vacation rental that places you just minutes from the enchanting hilltop town of Cortona, one of the oldest Etruscan settlements in Tuscany, rising 600 metres above sea level in the heart of Italy. This beautifully restored stone farmhouse, originally a farm shed belonging to the adjacent Leopoldine villa, has been completely renovated with meticulous attention to conservation and the careful salvage of all original materials. The result is a refined and welcoming country house where natural tones echo the colours of the surrounding earth, and simply yet elegantly furnished rooms create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
