Tucked in the rolling hills of Vorno is the Controni Estate, a carefully curated portfolio of stunning properties forming part of the world famous “Coselli Collection”, one of Tuscany's truly luxurious hospitality experiences.
At the foot of Mount Pisano, the estate’s 19± hectares boast elegant Italian gardens and centuries-old, terraced groves of olive trees that complement its four main villas, two cottages, and caretaker’s house. Each villa is renovated with attention to luxury and homage to its lengthy history. Each villa also has a private pool and is close in proximity while still offering privacy from one another, offering an incredible and proven rental potential. Soaring vaulted and cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and breathtaking frescos throughout make the interior of the Tuscan villa as enticing as its sprawling grounds. A grand Tuscan kitchen makes entertaining a breeze, with a formal dining room that seats 26, or enjoy a starlight dinner from the stunning alfresco dining terrace. Drift up to the billiards room or down to the wine cellar for a tasting before retiring to any of the spacious bedroom suites.
