Fractional ownership holiday homes in Tuscany

Fractional ownership of a vacation apartment is similar to a timeshare but with more flexibility and better equity. Borgo di Vagli fractional ownership club near Cortona on the Tuscan-Umbrian border provides access to luxury accommodation in a restored mediaeval village at a fraction of the price of owning and maintaining your own residence in Tuscany. The village of Borgo di Vagli is set in 12 hectares of unspoiled natural beauty, between Cortona, Lake Trasimeno and Umbertide deep in the Tuscan countryside, and has a swimming pool, restaurant and shop, all for the exclusive use of the fractional owners.

For vacationers who wish to enjoy the wonderful attractions of central Italy from a base with which they are familiar, timeshares are available for rent and resale in Tuscany and throughout Italy. However, for those who prefer to actually own their timeshare, the modern option is fractional ownership where you not only own vacation time at your Tuscan base, but also have true equity in the property – equity that you can sell or pass on to your children. The restored mediaeval village of Borgo di Vagli, near Cortona close to the Umbrian border, offers exactly this.

Borgo di Vagli is a meticulously and lovingly restored hamlet nestled in the Tuscan hills very close to the border with Umbria. It’s a 20-minute drive from the busy piazzas, family-run trattorias, wine bars and art galleries in the popular hilltop Tuscan town of Cortona.  It’s also within easy driving distance of many of the famous historical cities and sights of Tuscany and Umbria.  This 600-year-old enclave is alive and thriving and ready to welcome you.

Borgo di Vagli has been restored by a team of skilled workers whose efforts preserved much of its original feel, atmosphere and charm, without compromising modern day comforts. The 21 residences comprising the hamlet are beautifully furnished, self-catering with fully equipped kitchens – including a dishwasher, electric oven, four gas hobs/burners, refrigerator/freezer, kettle, toaster, cutlery and crockery.Each unit also offers a telephone, CD player, TV & DVD player, satellite channels, free Wi-Fi, and hair dryer.
