Terzo di Danciano

Absolute tranquility between Tuscany & Umbria

Embraced by the beauty of the Cortona countryside, the vacation villa Terzo di Danciano features accommodations in suites for up to 22 persons, perfect for retreats and special events, such as destination weddings.

Totally restored, with extra attention to maintaining the original building material, including the stone facade and the terracotta floors, the 18th century farmhouse provides a soothing and mindful atmosphere for your holiday gatherings.

You can choose to relax poolside or, with only a short drive in any direction, you can explore the wonders of two regions, both Tuscany and Umbria. The small local towns offer a full calendar of traditional and folkloristic events, but you can also opt for top class museums and suggestive Etruscan and Roman ruins nearby.

The decision to restructure this unique building of Tuscan history was made with a resolve to reuse as much of the original framework as possible while adding eco-sustainability features such as bio-mass heating and reuse of rain and used water. Set on several floors, the farmhouse is made of classic Tuscan gray "pietra serena" stone with the accent of red bricks. The interiors exalt the wooden beam ceilings, terracotta floors and the unique niches and architecture that characterize a countryside home.

A villa perfect for your retreat, wedding or special event

In addition to the 9 rooms with en-suite bathrooms, Terzo di Danciano boasts several large areas where you can organize events and retreats to host large groups and gatherings. The spacious common room called Bachificio, referring to its use as a home for silkworms at one time, has a comfortable wooden floor. This area is suitable for every type of group activity: dance, yoga, voice, music, holistic disciplines, theatre, meditation, painting, cooking, photography... and, of course, destination events like weddings or anniversaries.

For those who rent the villa for stays with B&B service, breakfast is included and served in the garden. Upon request, all meals can also be organized with a catering service that uses local and fresh ingredients for their menus. The kitchen bubbles with authentic flavors and the gardens shine with a bouquet of colors and fragrances. The accommodations provide free internet and parking. There is a freshwater pool, with lounging sun chairs and an incredible panoramic vista.

High-class Spa facilities

The Spa area at Terzo di Danciano has been expanded to include many additional services. The Spa area has a Travertine stone heated pool with hydromassage, an infrared sauna in pine wood, a Turkish bath with aromatherapy features, a massage area and relaxation area with a welcoming fireplace and sofas.

The Spa area - as well as the entire property - is heated with biomass fuels and with a state-of-the-art super efficient boiler system. All of the water used in the Spa area is reused across the property for watering the lawns, an important aspect that Luca, the owner of Terzo di Danciano, seeks to implement with each renovation and new project that comes up.

Colorful Spaces with a Soothing Atmosphere

The accommodations are rented out as a whole vacation villa in Tuscany. Built in the 18th century, the country home has been totally restored with simple accent colors and minimalist decor. The owner incorporated several eco-sustainability aspects, respecting both the original structure as well as the environment around the holiday accommodations. The main country house at Terzo di Danciano offers a bed & breakfast experience for anyone attending a special event or retreat hosted at the villa and, upon request, both the use of the vacation home and common rooms can have a lovely homemade breakfast prepapred and served in the garden for every day of your stay.
