Full Description
Il Rifugio dei Cavalieri
Nestled in the tranquil Cortona hills, approximately 400 meters above sea level, stands Il Rifugio dei Cavalieri, a one-of-a-kind property that combines the authentic charm of the Tuscan countryside with a passion for horseback riding. Located in the beautiful Tecognano area, this estate has long been a haven for horse lovers, thanks to its spacious, perfectly laid-out ranch with riding stables, a riding paddock, and functional stables, all framed by a landscape of extraordinary beauty.
The property extends over approximately 15,000 square meters of land, enriched by extensive green areas and an ideal space for a panoramic swimming pool.
The main residence is spread over two levels and retains all the warmth of Tuscan tradition, with exposed wooden beams, stone fireplaces, and authentic details that tell the story of the place. The total living area is approximately 260 square meters, distributed among several independent units that offer comfort, privacy, and great versatility.
On the first floor, on the left side, is a welcoming apartment with a panoramic stone terrace and pergola, perfect for enjoying breathtaking sunsets over the valley. The interior features a spacious living room with kitchen, two bright bedrooms, and two well-finished bathrooms.
Adjacent to this is a large space, once used as a barn, which can now easily be converted into a living area, a studio, or an additional living space.
Also on the same level are two other independent apartments:
The first comprises a large living room with kitchen, a generously sized double bedroom, a well-equipped bathroom, and a utility room that can be customized to your liking.
The second offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room with kitchen, and a large panoramic terrace offering spectacular views of the Tuscan hills.

Stables and stables, tool shed, tack room, bathrooms and changing room, living area, boiler room, and utility room.
A few meters from the main house is a separate annex, now converted into a comfortable apartment with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living room with kitchen and dining area.
