Villa Remo Piantato – Historic 5-Bedroom Tuscan Estate on Cortona Hill with Panoramic Views and Sacred Legacy
Remo Piantato is a simplified translation of “planted oar”. The original owner alludes to the legend that Odysseus came to the site carrying the oar that he had used on his journey around the Mediterranean. He planted the oar, which became a tree. It symbolises the end of a wanderer’s journey and the start of homecoming.
Nestled on a sun-drenched hilltop in Pergo, just beyond the storied town of Cortona, Villa Remo Piantato is a rare 18th-century Tuscan retreat, renovated to the highest modern comfort standards, that seamlessly blends timeless elegance, natural beauty, and deep cultural roots. Adjacent to the revered chapel of Madonna del Bagno, where spring waters are said to offer healing benefits, this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom villa enjoys a peaceful yet storied location with panoramic views over the Val di Chiana.
Surrounded by 35 acres of cypress trees, olive groves, and manicured gardens, the two-story stone residence features traditional Tuscan design: stone and hardwood floors, hand-hewn wooden beams, arched windows, and oversized doors that draw in the golden countryside light.
The villa’s five spacious bedrooms each include en-suite bathrooms, with the primary suite on the ground level. A gourmet kitchen opens to an elegantly polished dining and living area. Outside, a newly finished Italian garden designed by the renowned Tuscany Green. A stone path ascends to a private hillside swimming pool, overlooking the breathtaking panorama of the Tuscan hills.
