About The Experience
What made you realize how much you'd love a holiday in Tuscany? Was it the thought of the beautiful countryside scenery, the delicious cuisine, or all the charming hilltop towns you could explore? It may have been all of the above and if so, you'll absolutely find each of these while at this Italian villa. Just outside Cortona, this self-catering accommodation is private, nicely furnished, and features both an indoor and outdoor swimming pools!
Location Description

The property is located five kilometers from Foiano della Chiana where you'll find a golf course, restaurants, and shops, but its claim to fame is its annual carnival which first began in the year 1539 and is the oldest in Italy. The four districts of the town (Bombolo, Azzurri, Rustici, and Nottambuli) compete for the Carnival’s Cup by trying to build the most impressive and creative float. The ancient Etruscan town of Cortona is a short drive away and is full of art, history, and culture. Tour frescoed churches from the 13th century; explore the original city walls, and then visit an art exhibit in the 16th century fortress. You are also sure to find restaurants featuring delicious Tuscan dishes and ancient tombs dating back to the second century BC. There are plenty of local shops selling antiques, crafts, wines, and olive oils. Great day trip destinations include Arezzo, Montepulciano, and Siena.

Customer Reviews

Overall:
Very nice. Beautiful property, good amenities.
Enjoyed Most:
The views.
Enjoyed Least:
Bees made it hard to open the windows and doors. Air conditioning is not up to U.S. standards.
Surrounding Area:
Easy to drive to Montepulciano, Cortona, Montalcino.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring your own coffee maker. Lousy one there for a kitchen that is otherwise professional quality.
Check In Out:
The cleaning fees of 25 Euros per person seemed high. Also didn't like to be charged for air conditioning, which is substandard by U.S. standards. Editor's Note: Utility costs in Europe are quite high by U.S. standards. Consequently, most villa owners charge separately for air conditioning and heating usage.
