A beautiful tree lined road meanders through the park like atmosphere to the villa's entrance. Gardens with ornamental shrubbery, ponds, and small bridges enhance the gardens and the drive to the villa doors.
Beyond the gardens, Le Tre Grazie is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards giving you room to roam and relax with nature, yet close to Cortona buildings that once housed small livestock and equipment. The owner's private chapel sits picturesquely among the gardens.
This is the perfect Italian villa vacation for families or large groups of friends. The ground and first floors have separate living areas, but are reached by an internal staircase, making it ideal for large groups to spread out, children upstairs playing video games while their parents are relaxing or cooking or just simply having a glass of wine at the end of the day.
