Agriturismo Il Maggese

A stay in a 19th-century villa surrounded by the hills of Cortona

Just a few kilometres from Cortona, set among rolling hills, olive groves and ancient villages, Agriturismo Il Maggese is a charming 19th-century villa where historic character meets modern comfort and the warm hospitality of the Tuscan countryside.

The estate is housed in a historic residence surrounded by a large park with a swimming pool, immersed in the scenic landscapes of the Valdichiana. The atmosphere is timeless—peaceful, natural and defined by the gentle rhythms of rural life.

The apartments, located in the main villa, the annex and the old granary, retain original features such as wooden beams, stone details and period furnishings, offering a truly unique stay.

Il Maggese is not only a place to stay, but also a working organic farm. It produces its own extra virgin olive oil, wine, vinsanto and Senatore Cappelli durum wheat pasta, all with respect for biodiversity and Tuscan farming traditions.

This philosophy extends to its cuisine, where every ingredient reflects the land it comes from.

One of the highlights is the food experience. Upon reservation, guests can enjoy traditional set dinners prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients, vegetables from the garden and regional products.

Breakfast follows the same approach, with homemade cakes and local specialities served either in the historic “Sala Universale” or outdoors, surrounded by greenery.

The property also offers extensive outdoor spaces, a panoramic swimming pool and nature trails through woods, vineyards and olive groves—ideal for both relaxation and exploration.

Its strategic location makes it easy to visit Cortona and nearby art cities such as Arezzo, Perugia and Montepulciano.

Agriturismo Il Maggese is a place where hospitality, nature and authentic flavours come together—an invitation to experience Tuscany at a slower pace, immersed in unspoilt landscapes and living traditions.
