It lays at the end of the Parterre boulevard, halfway between Cortona centre from where it is only 500 mt far and Bramasole and it offers a wonderful view over Valdichiana and the surrounding hills up to the Trasimeno Lake to the east and Montepulciano to the west.
The wonderful landscape that you enjoy by the windows and gardens changes its colors according to the different seasons: by the deep green in the springtime to the yellow colour of the grain fields. to the golden red of Autumn time and the snow white in the wintertime.

It is just Bramasole to remind you of the link between Lapo Salvadori, the owner, and the American ladywriter frances Mayes, the author of the best seller: Under the Tuscan Sun. The farm was shot in the movie taken from the Mayes' book. and Mr. Salvadori himself provided them with the necessary products for the setting of some scenes in the movie.
Even other movie broadcasting turn to him as the official provider of ancient cars and agricultural tools.
It has had a special guest as the Itslian chef Gualtiero Marchesi for 2 weeks who appreciated his cooking style so much.
Lapo has driven the ancient car in the Life is Beautiful as the protagonists have gone out of the theatre Signorelli and it was raining.
In an interview with Frances Mayes, while she talks about the Bramasole villa recovering, she says that during her promenades along the Cortona Parterre she heard people remind alwasy of the wonderful cheese made by Lapo.
