Sussurro in Montagna - Luxury Tuscan Retreat with Heated Pool Near Cortona!

Welcome to Sussurro in Montagna-"Whisper in the Mountains"-a beautifully restored 300-year-old Tuscan stone farmhouse nestled among the forested hills above Cortona.

Far from crowds and tourist traffic, Sussurro offers a rare opportunity to experience Tuscany's quieter side. Surrounded by mountains, valleys, olive trees, and timeless landscapes, the estate combines authentic Tuscan character with the comforts and amenities of a luxury retreat.

Whether gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply seeking a place to slow down and recharge, Sussurro was designed for meaningful moments and unforgettable experiences.

Why Guests Love Sussurro

Guests consistently describe Sussurro as a unique blend of modern luxury and old-world Tuscan charm. The thoughtful restoration, peaceful setting, spectacular views, spacious interiors, and beautifully equipped kitchen create an environment where guests immediately feel at home.

Many visitors arrive intending to explore Tuscany every day, only to discover that some of their favorite moments occur right at the property - sharing meals beneath the pergola, relaxing beside the pool, enjoying a glass of wine on a private terrace, or gathering around one of the home's fireplaces after sunset.

The Journey

The journey to Sussurro is part of the experience.

Leaving the larger roads behind, the route climbs into the wooded hills surrounding Cortona. After a turn from the paved mountain road, guests follow approximately one kilometer of traditional Tuscan white gravel road that winds through forests, valleys, neighboring country estates, and vineyards before arriving at the property.

The final descent creates a true sense of arrival, revealing a peaceful mountain retreat that feels wonderfully removed from everyday life while remaining conveniently close to Tuscany's most beloved destinations.

Outdoor Living

Life in Tuscany is best enjoyed outdoors, and Sussurro offers numerous spaces designed for relaxation, conversation, and taking in the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

Highlights include:

• Heated swimming pool

• Outdoor shower

• Wisteria-covered pergola

• Outdoor dining for eight guests

• Multiple terraces and seating areas

• Private bedroom terraces with café tables and chairs
