Agriturismo Sant’Egidio

Agriturismo Sant’Egidio is a rural farmhouse stay above Cortona, built for travelers who want big views, quiet days, and a deep-in-the-countryside reset.

Panoramic setting: The property sits in the Sant’Egidio area, about 12 km from Cortona, with wide-open vistas toward the hill town, Lake Trasimeno, and the Valdichiana—great for sunrise coffee and slow evenings.

Nature-first atmosphere: With an expansive private estate around it, Agriturismo Sant’Egidio feels genuinely secluded, making it easy to unplug and lean into walks, reading, and stargazing.

Walks straight from the door: If you like exploring on foot, there’s a scenic route that can take you toward Cortona, including an old Roman road-style walk that turns the “getting there” into part of the stay.

Sense of history: The site is tied to long-standing local religious and rural heritage, which adds character and a “place with a past” feel rather than a purpose-built lodging vibe.

Remote access: Because there’s essentially a single road in, driving is often the easiest way to manage dinners, supplies, and sightseeing around Cortona.

Connectivity may be limited: Internet access can be a potential pain point for guests who need reliable, always-on Wi‑Fi for work or streaming.

Not a quick hop into town: The countryside location is the point, but it may feel far if your plan is to spend most of your time in central Cortona.
