Latest Renovations
In 2024 we completed the creation of two new bedroom suites in the estate cottage. The main villa also underwent a refurbishment with brand new super king size beds in all double rooms, new dining room and sitting room furniture, upgraded air conditioning and internet capacity, new pergola by the pool and relining of the pool for a more stylish look and feel.
PRIVATES HIGHLIGHTS
Description
Purchased in 2006 after seeing an advert in Financial Times Newspaper of London. Came for a 24 hour visit, a whirlwind tour of 7 homes, some completed, others requiring total refurbishment. We fell in love with Le Pratola and decided instantly to buy, we did not look at any other property. Embarked on a 3 year restoration project which was a labour of love. The property project manager was Joe Thompson, living in Cortona.
