Cannelle is a 4-bedroom luxury holiday villa for rent in Italy perched on the undulating hills of Umbria and Tuscany. This elegant vacation rental family home accommodating eight guests, overlooks the majestic landscape that throughout provides a breathtaking backdrop.
The villa is located in the stunning Niccone Valley thirty minutes from Cortona, a famous Tuscan village, and about ten minutes from Preggio, a wonderful ancient Umbrian village that offers traditional restaurants and a small grocery shop on the beautiful border of Umbria and Tuscany.
Along 1,5 kilometre of the unpaved road, you will reach the gated entrance of this fully fenced property surrounded by olive groves.
Once through the gates, you will find the house amongst landscaped gardens with beautiful olive and cypress trees, lavender, potted plants and herbs for guests that enjoy using the kitchen.
