Villa Laura is a new venue for us in 2012.  Villa Laura is famous because it was used in the film "Under the Tuscan Sun".  It was renovated to a very high standard in 2010.  The property has a main villa as well as a farmhouse surrounded by beautiful gardens.  There is a travertine lined swimming pool, an outside jacuzzi, a lake, a private chapel, a snooker room, air conditioning, wireless internet and plenty of areas in which to relax.  There are several painting opportunities within the Villa's grounds including a  fountain, a large cistern and a lake.  Cortona town is close by.
