“Il Cerro” was born after the careful restructuring of an old rural complex, in the respect of its ancient origins.
Thanks to this renovation the three stone houses have gone back to their former splendour and beauty.

The main apartment is 50 mt distant from the others, comfortably furnished, with wooden ceilings, terracotta floors and old peasant style furniture.
Immersed in the thick of secular woods of the Cortonese hills, 700 mt above sea level, in a panoramic and quiet position, Agriturismo “Il Cerro” is the ideal destination for those who wish to spend a relaxing holiday in deep contact with an uncontaminated environment.
In this part of the world you can live in the nature, able to rediscover the forgotten slow paces of simple life .
Walking through the ancient country roads or through steep paths, deep in the woods, you will be able to bump into wild animals and cattle kept in a wild state.

For those who wish to spend an even more relaxing and lazy holiday it will be possible to remain sunbathing in the gorgeous swimming pool that overlooks the beautiful view of the valley.
The houses are surrounded by spacious and well kept green areas equipped with garden furniture, entertaining toys for children, and a barbecue area with a big table which is perfect for unforgettable lunches and dinners.
“Il Cerro” allows its guests to bring their pets on holiday with them.

The Ponticelli family, which finds its origins in the Casentino, has been living in a small village outside Cortona, called Fratta for a hundred years.
In this area they keep their family farm, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
In our farm we cultivate maize, corn, barley, sunflowers and other forages.
We have a rich Sangiovese vineyard and about 1000 olive trees on the splendid hills of San Pietro a Cegliolo.
For our crop we provide the use of low environmental impact products, which means no use of chemical products which by our judgement only damage the end-consumer.
To guarantee a genuine final product, in the respect of the surrounding environment we are setting out for biological agriculture.
“Il Cerro” offers to its guests the opportunity of tasting and buying our products
