Casa Bellavista

Casa Bellavista is an off-grid country house near the ancient town of Cortona, a bed & breakfast that made of hospitality and respect for nature its philosophy of life. Here, welcomed by the hosts Simonetta and Guido, you can experience the simple but true rhythm of the Tuscan countryside.

Off-grid lifestyle in Tuscany

Casa Bellavista is an off-grid and green accommodation. “We are guests of a land that has welcomed us, this is our way of thanking her”, say Simonetta and Guido when talking about their property. Everything is sustainable: electricity is generated thanks to solar panels, water is produced with a purification system, waste is composted and recycled.

Living at Casa Bellavista

Welcomed in comfortable rooms and suites furnished with antique pieces belonged to Simonetta and Guido’s family for generations, every morning you can have breakfast with homemade cakes and focaccia and fresh juices, you can relax in the garden with a good glass of wine among the chirping of birds and dine by candlelight with genuine products of this Tuscan land.

You can use all the common areas of Casa Bellavista such as the library, the living rooms and the dining room, as well as the outdoor spaces such as the park, the orchard with a view of Cortona, the soccer field, the garden with hammocks, the swimming pool and the whirlpool.

You can also enjoy Yoga lessons at sunset, an incredible experience to reconnect with yourself with the beauty of Nature.

Eat with Simonetta

Simonetta is the creative chef of Casa Bellavista. Her kitchen rigorously respects seasonality and, most of all, is organic: she mainly uses local products to create traditional Tuscan and Italian dishes. A walk in her herb garden, an old cookbook – that’s how she gets inspired to create a new dish.
Her cuisine is exclusively vegetarian and vegan.

The extra virgin olive oil produced from Casa Bellavista olive grove is the irreplaceable protagonist of Simonetta’s kitchen, which often offers dishes with very rich vegetables (you can also reserve a Olive oil tasting with Guido!)

Her favorite vegetarian dish is the vegetable pastry made with eggplants, mozzarella cheese and tomatoes, a tasty invention of many years ago created together with her children!
Her favorite vegan dish is chickpea and celery salad, very simple but very nutritious and fresh, ideal for the summer.

If you would like to learn how to make them you can enjoy one of the “Eat with Simonetta” cooking courses, a very special and funny experience to try during your stay at Casa Bellavista!
