We had a very friendly greeting from lady when we first arrived. The location was great. Very near to Cortona but you need a car. The room was spacious 2 floors with a living room. So great for a family. Our bed was comfortable and the pool area was nice. Cortona is also very beautiful.
Unfortunately there were more things we didnt like. I was not aware that there is no service for anything. No food no breakfast. We provided everything, including extra toilet paper. I didnt know when booking this place i would be cleaning and cooking. There is no daily cleaning. So the house gets very dusty and there are lots of bugs, spider webs everywhere, which made me extremely uncomfortable. The pool was also filled with dead bugs. I did not see any staff when we were there and we stayed 4 nights. To be honest it looks more luxurious in the pictures. If you dont mind any of these things then its great. But we nearly left 1 night early. As we were leaving i saw the cleaning lady come to clean our room with new bed sheets and towels, and she put the pile of clean sheets and towels on top of the garbage can while she kneeled down to get something.😣 Im sorry but i cant say we had the best time here.

Beautiful rural location. Car is essential as there are no local shops or facilities as you expect in a tiny hamlet location. Very peaceful and charming renovation to this ancient building.
Could have a better stocked Kitchen for crockery and cutlery

Staff was really nice and helpful. The airconditoning was really nice, there was a seperate unit in every room which was great. Wifi worked very well. The big garden is amazing, beds by the pool very convenient. Our apartment had a nice sheltered seating outside.
Honestly, it looked more luxurious in the pictures than it actually was. Our apartment on the ground floor needs some maintenance. The bed was squeeky, water pressure in shower was very weak and the water temperature fluctuated. There is almost no hot water coming from the tap in the kitchen. The shower has a curtain, which means water flows everywhere. The cleaning could really be improved, especially under the beds (spider webs) and the bathroom floor. Also, a new set of frying pans is needed.

Apartment was fantastic and the owner was very friendly and accomodating.

In country side - self catering and nice swimming pool for heat.
Aircon started leaking first night which made a mess and was noisy. Told reception about it. They said it will be sorted out the next day between 4 and 5. After 5 when we enquired they told us guy can not come. No communication. Also no help to “dampen” the noice or providing extra towel to stop the water.
No photo or indication in add that the bathroom has a curtain in it. Water flowing everywhere in bathroom:
When we wanted to check out we and another couple could not find the receptionist. Calles, send whatsapp, knocked

We provided our own breakfast in a well appointed kitchen in an absolutely beautiful ,clean, stylish and quiet environment.We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay at this timeless gem.
Wifi could be better but given the thickness of the walls etc accept this fact and find a hot spot....you will absolutely enjoy this beautiful unique accommodation.

Beautiful and quiet grounds, the suites were well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The location was perfect to explore Cortona, Montepulciano and Umbria. Would recommend this place!
4.5
The pool and grounds are very nice. The bed was comfortable. The pool made the rental worth it as it was very hot.
The apartment has a problem with the tiny red ants. Not just a few. They came out when a little juice was spilled and were all over the counter. Fortunately not in the bedroom. The thin frying pans were severally dented and warped.
4.5
Peaceful and relaxing setting, with easy access to Cortona (6 minute drive to free parking). Friendly staff made us feel very welcome. The room was clean and well stocked.
Some of the furniture was not that comfortable (e.g. the sofa).
4.5
Great location, very clean with excellent facilities. Off street parking, laundry facilities and a peaceful location, made for an excellent place to do day trips from. We stayed an extra two days it was so good!
Signage to the location was limited as we arrived after 9:30pm
4.5
Super cozy place! Hope to come back here someday :)

The old monastery kept its charm and authenticity. It is a fabulous place, with a spacious yard and a pool. The city of Cortona is a hidden gem in Tuscany!
So close to the wine region, we didn’t have a corkscrew in the room. We had to ask the neighbours to open a bottle.

I loved the quiet of the property and the history! very clean!

The best place at booking.com I have been, it was amazing and beautiful.
Amata was kind and helpful.
The facilities, room, gardens, pool and room will exceed anyone's expectations.
I cannot think about something now.
4.5
I liked the whole apartment. And I would have liked to go to swim, because there was swimming pool.
The place was difficult to find. We came late in the evening, so it was a little complicated. We didn't know that we have to follow the sign capuccio.
4.5
Amazing hotel! Highly recommended
