Tranquil countryside setting, three-story villa with a grand stone portico, landscaped gardens and a panoramic swimming pool, for sale near Cetona. A ready-to-live villa exuding authentic Tuscan charm where timeless elegance meets modern comfort. Just one kilometre from the heart of Cetona, one of the most enchanting medieval towns on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, Villa Il Gran Portico enjoys a privileged south-facing position, bathing the interiors and gardens in natural light throughout the day. The residence unfolds across approximately 383 sq m (4,122 sq ft), arranged over three levels, and is embraced by a meticulously kept garden, complete with a panoramic swimming pool, shaded avenues of trees and with dual access: a grand driveway for vehicles and a separate pathway reserved for pedestrians. The stone portico, with its five arches sweeping across two façades, serves both as a distinguished entrance and as an elegant outdoor living area, the ideal stage for Tuscan days and evenings year-round. Inside, the villa captures the true spirit of the countryside: terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, generous proportions and an atmosphere of understated refinement. On the ground floor, an elegant double reception with French doors opening onto the portico flows into a dining area with a fireplace. The kitchen, centred around a convivial island, offers dual garden access, an architectural arch and a second dining area with fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming heart of the home. The first floor reveals a dramatic double-height landing leading to three spacious double bedrooms, all air-conditioned and finished with parquet floors, served by two bathrooms. A large study, equally suited as a fourth bedroom, provides access to the attic, ideal for additional storage. The lower ground level accommodates service areas including laundry, technical rooms, a wine cellar and a garage. Its location is particularly privileged: only minutes from the A1 Autostrada del Sole and Chiusi railway station, a short drive to the celebrated thermal baths of San Casciano dei Bagni and within easy reach of the most captivating hill towns of both Tuscany and Umbria. A home that perfectly balances the serenity of the countryside with the convenience of proximity to essential services.
