Excellent

By John B. on 19-Jan-2024

We recently spent two weeks in this property and would recommend it highly both as a comfortable and well-equipped home from home and as an excellent base for exploring this beautiful region of Italy. The owner Paul provided first class information and assistance when required - the guide to local places of interest, restaurants and other practical information was particularly helpful. Took (early morning) trips to Castiglione del Lago, Montepulciano, Siena, San Gimingnano and Florence, with a very welcome cooling dip in the pool at the end of each day. The villa is on the doorstep of Cortona - a pleasure to spend a few evenings there enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and lovely food. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking of booking this property, you won’t be disappointed.

Voyage en Toscane

Super séjour entre amis dans cette batisse historique et ce magnifique jardin. Amoureux de grands espaces vous serez comblés. Grâce au Guide de Paul et Heather, (70 pages) nous avons pu explorer la Toscane grâce à leurs bons conseils et profiter de la piscine pour recharger les batteries. Merci Paul et Heather pour vos délicates attentions.

Lovely home in a perfect setting!

By Deb W., New Kent, VA on 14-Oct-2019

Both the inside and outside of this home captured the beauty of the Tuscany region! The house was very well appointed and beautifully decorated throughout. Loved the living room fireplace and the outdoor barbecue/ covered patio. The beautiful kitchen had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, attractive and comfortable furniture. We loved it and hated to leave. Stunning views out of the windows! Convenient to many Tuscan towns and scenic/historic/popular destinations. Loved coming home to this house after a long day sight seeing. Our hosts were incredibly hospitable and gracious. They made every effort to make our stay enjoyable and special! Perfetto! Would love to come back!
