Tuscan home on market for first time in 500 years
Country: Italy
30 October 2008
A 16th century villa located just outside the Tuscan town of Cortona has been placed on the market for the first time in 500 years at an asking price of €8m (£6.3m)
Villa Fontana was once a hangout for the Knights of Saint Stephen and a Grand Master of the Knights of Malta, not to mention the German army during World War II.
The villa features 16 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, six reception rooms and a nifty lookout tower with lake views, terracotta floors and frescoed ceilings help provide that old world ambiance. The grounds include stables, guest quarters and a 150sqm “limonaia” for cultivating fruit trees. No Jacuzzi, but there is a consecrated chapel in the backyard.
The property is listed for sale with Knight Frank International.
