About this property

Beautiful 16th Century farmhouse with large pool, located near Cortona,Tuscany

Welcome to Jasmina - our vacation rental, lovingly restored to retain its character but with a contemporary twist. Less than 15 minutes from Cortona, situated in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, the property adjoins our home, Villa Violina, a farmhouse of historic importance.

In a fabulous location for easily exploring Tuscany and Umbria, Jasmina also offers guests the opportunity to rest and enjoy a peaceful holiday by the large saline swimming pool set amongst acres of landscaped gardens.

Jasmina is a completely independent unit that is attached to our farmhouse. It provides a beautifully furnished accommodation where you will quickly feel relaxed and ready to enjoy your holiday. As the owners we are ordinarily onsite and are happy to offer help and advice during your stay, whilst always respecting guests privacy.

Stylishly decorated and furnished in shades of taupe and cream, the ground floor has a lovely triple aspect living room with fireplace, terracotta tiled floor and original chestnut beams. There is an LG LCD TV/DVD, Freeview and WiFi (20-30 Mbps). The kitchen has Italian marble worktops and ceramic double sink. Lovely antique table. Appliances include Bosch dishwasher and washing machine and a large Koning fridge/freezer.

Upstairs there is a large double aspect bedroom with queen sized four poster bed complete with cream voile drapes. Adjacent is its own separate bathroom featuring mosaic tiling and twin Italian marble basins. Additional twin bedroom with lovely wrought iron beds which can be made up as a double. There is an en-suite shower room.
Both bedrooms have stylish Daikin air-conditioning units to keep you cool during the hot summer months (metered and charged separately - if used overnight in both bedrooms the cost is approximately Euro 25 for one week).

To the front of Jasmina is a listed brick capana for al fresco dining with access to a Weber BBQ .

The Wi-fi is also available in the front and rear gardens.

Villa Violina is exclusively situated in 13 acres of private land consisting of large pine trees, 200 olive trees and 1 acre of private landscaped gardens with a 7 x 14 meter saline swimming pool. The pool is situated behind the house in the middle of the gardens and is open early May until late September. It is edged with travertine marble and surrounded by an antique brick patio. A large pergola provides shade and all outdoor furniture is of high quality.

Jasmina is ideally situated for visiting the wonderful regions of Tuscany and Umbria. Perhaps most importantly and the main reason we bought the house, is its proximity to Cortona, a less than 15 minutes drive away. It is an Etruscan town whose origins are older than Rome. Although small it is perfectly formed! Aside from its great architecture and historic importance the town is blessed with wonderful restaurants, gelateria's, coffee bars etc. The monasteries and churches are beautiful, the museums excellent and the festivals which take place throughout the year are great fun. Its close proximity means you can easily visit on a daily basis. Castiglione del Lago is also only 10 minutes away and offers a different experience with many restaurants and lake views.

For those seeking to explore further afield access to a major trunk road is an easy 5 minute drive. From there within 30-60 minutes are Montepulciano, Pienza, Arezzo, Perugia, Assisi, Siena and Orvietto to name a few.

Also of great convenience is the local railway station which is 5 minutes from the house. Here express trains can be boarded to Florence or Rome, enabling a day's sightseeing, whilst also giving access to Arezzo, Orvieto, Chiusi, Perugia and Assisi.

Jasmina is ideally located for many activities. We can advise on walks, running or cycling routes (local bike hire available including e-bike). At nearby Lake Trasimeno sailing lessons can be booked. Experienced? Yacht, motor-boat and kayak’s can be rented.

Villa Violina is on the wine route "La Strada del Vino", which links Cortona with Montepulciano. Wine tasting nearby can be arranged at La Braccesca (Antinori), Baldetti Avignonesi, Poliziano and many others.

During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to La Braccesca Winery. Features include an outdoor pool and laundry facilities.

Jasmina, Sept 2022

We spent one week at the villa in late September. We enjoyed very much the kindness and hospitality of the owners. The gardens surrounding the house are very interesting, as well as how the house is organized. The owners have devoted energy in creating a very pleasant property to enjoy, and were helpful in providing tips for restaurants and wineries. A place to remember!

True Vacation

We spent a week with our 2 children at Jasmina this past June. It was truly a wonderful, peaceful, and inspiring place! We would take day trips to small towns in the morning and return in the afternoon to spend time on the beautifully maintained grounds and the large refreshing swimming pool. My husband and son enjoyed playing soccer in the soccer field, as well. The best part was the owners Steven and Vicki. They were very welcoming and were able to give us many local suggestions for food and activities. We would definitely like to return soon!

Fantastic Place

I have rented several villas in Italy over the years. This one tops them all. My wife and I spent two weeks here with our friends of over 50 years who were visiting Italy for the first time. Our hosts Vicky and Steve made this a most memorable visit. The villa was spotless, the grounds immaculate and wonderfully landscaped, and it’s setting in the surrounding countryside was perfect. The villa is very centrally located for touring all the hill towns of Tuscany and Umbria, and there is a small village nearby in walking distance that is home to a great restaurant. You can’t go wrong booking this villa. We plan to return. Thank you Steve and Vicky for a wonderful visit.

Beautiful country escape

Although we were here too early to enjoy the swimming pool and barbecue, we thoroughly enjoyed the wildflowers, green grass and hillsides of Tuscany. We loved the peace and quiet and old world charm of Jasmina during May. We took easy trips to Cortona, Montepulciano, Pienza and Lake Trasimeno and visited wineries and found wonderful restaurants when we were not enjoying cooking the local food in our own kitchen. We enjoyed the time to just relax under the sail cover of our patio. Highly recommend this lovely property.

Maison magnifique dans un grand jardin paysagé et grande piscine idéalement située

Quel bonheur de séjourner dans un si bel endroit situé à la frontière entre Toscane et Ombrie La maison est magnifique Le jardin de 4 hectares magnifiquement paysagé aussi La piscine est grande L'endroit est parfait pour sillonner la Toscane et l'Ombrie Seul bemol si on peut en trouver un les lits un peu étroits dans la chambre enfants Les Hôtes anglais sont très accueillants et vraiment charmants Tout cela nous donne vraiment envie de revenir
