FARMHOUSE THE STONE

Located just a few minutes from the historic center of Cortona, one of the most iconic and beloved hill towns in Italy, the property is accessed via a scenic country road (approx. 2 km) that leads to a truly peaceful, untouched natural setting.

A Place of History and Inspiration

Casale La Pietra is not only a prestigious residence but also a place steeped in cultural and creative history. Formerly owned by a world-renowned Australian writer, over the years it has welcomed important figures from the worlds of art, cinema, and spirituality.

Among the most notable guests is Federico Fellini, the legendary Italian film director, who found creative inspiration here in the serene, cinematic beauty of the Cortona landscape — which he described as “more cinematic than film itself”.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama is also said to have stayed nearby on a private visit, drawn by the deep peace and spiritual atmosphere of the surrounding hills.

Writers, directors, and intellectuals have long chosen this location as a retreat to write, reflect, and reconnect with nature. Today, the estate still carries that unique energy — one of light, silence, and timeless inspiration.
