Characteristic historical stone country villa with park, woods and swimming pool for sale in the surroundings of Cortona, near the river Loreto. Surrounded by woods and olive groves, close to the spring of the small Loreto river, where locals used to come in hot summers to bathe. With stone walls dating back to 1200 and later rebuilt in 1700, originally a water mill, it preserves intact its typical architecture with the old millstone and the ancient atmosphere of Tuscan farmhouses.
