About this villa rental
One of the most charming Tuscany villas, lovely stone farmhouse situated in panoramic location offering splendid views over the Chiana Valley and over the ancient church S. Maria delle Grazie al Calcinaio. This charming villa is very close to the centre of Cortona, a beautiful small medieval Tuscan town whose origins date back to the Etruscan period. The villa has been recently restored but it still preserves many of its original details like the ancient terracotta-tiled floors and the beamed ceilings. The interiors are tastefully furnished mostly with some antique pieces offering a cosy atmosphere.

Nice enough property, very clean.
You need to reconfigure furniture in living room so more people can sit. Ok for 2 people but not really inviting and comfortable. Don't need the dining table in that room or that huge hutch.
More wine glasses and bowls needed.
Update master bedroom mattress. Very uncomfortable.
Grounds very enjoyable!
Property manager very responsive and helpful.
Not really walkable up to hilltop.
Reason for the lower rating is the house is over 200 years old (remodeled). At night there are a lot of noises to keep you up. If you get spooked this isn't the property for you. We checked out early due to this night after night.

Beautiful home in a stunning location. The views are amazing and the surrounding area is easy to drive around and explore. Location is central to Tuscany so lots to do in the area. Host was friendly, accommodating, and responsive. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice house and a fantastic garden. Cortona is a great place. The house wasn't very clean and the Air-Con is available but doesn't really cool the bed rooms upstairs on hot summer days. It's too expensive for what it is.

Just on the slope nestled between Cortona city and the Calcinaio church, the location was perfect for us. We enjoyed the serenity of no one immediately around us while only being a very short drive from the city walls. (Admittedly, we could have walked, but driving was easier!) Taking day trips to various Tuscan cities and sights was wonderfully served by the central location.

Nice villa, nice view,but only 3 wineglasses and 56 coffee-cups. Living a bit small for 6 persons. Kind owner
After two years of cancelation due to Covid, we finally could go to the Possarelli villa.
Unfortunately my friend fell over the doorstep and broke her shoulder. She was taken by ambulance to hospital in Arezzo and had an operation. So the last week was not so pleasant

The perfect Tuscan cottage
We were 100% satisfied with this property. It is charming and well maintained, with a great lawn and small pool to cool off in. The driveway is a bit rustic, but the parking is easy and behind a security gate. The views of the adjacent Renaissance church and the Valdichiana are amazing. The hilltop town of Cortona is 5min away and full of good restaurants, shopping, and an interesting Etruscan museum. There is a full service Conad grocery store in the town of Camucia, 5min down the hill. Florence, Siena, and Montepulcianco are easy day trips.The owner’s son, Enrico, met us at the house to check us in and spoke good English. Overall we were completely satisfied.

Comfortable house with Garden and views
Great location for exploring Tuscany and Umbria. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Enrico was very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed some lovely quiet days in our garden enjoying the view. Coffee machine a plus and I should imagine the pool would be great in summer. Cortona a few minutes away by car and supermarket is nearby in Camucia. We caught the train from Camucia to Florence and Rome for day trips.

Settembre al Calcinaio
Soggiorno piacevole, affaccio eccezionale (meglio che nelle foto!), prato e piccola piscina con idromassaggio che fanno godere molto relax, abitazione dal fascino d'altri tempi ma attrezzata agli attuali, wi-fi e frigo così così, ma saranno migliorati, attenta e gentile collaborazione da parte dei proprietari. Certamente da consigliare.

Lovely villa well appointed.everything you need.
A little noisy as close to the road. Close all shutters and it is fine. We had a problem with dogs barking all night. Got better towards the end of the week. No internet at all but on holiday so ok. Stteep walk to town but found escalator which helped . Can drive to escalator park car free so easy.

énorme déception !!!
cette soit-disante splendide villa restaurée de 200 m² n'est en fait qu'une maison rustique de 120 m², restaurée il y a 20 ans !!! impossible de cuisiner dans la cuisine, il n'y a aucun plan de travail, ni de rangement ! le séjour est tout petit, et occupé par de nombreuses araignées !
l'eau qui coule dans la baignoire est marron ! les équipements de jaccuzzi dans la salle de bain et la salle d'eau sont vétustes et inutilisables !!!
bref, le prix est scandaleusement cher que ce type de location.
c'est une honte !

Wonderful, authentic villa, close to everything!
We had a wonderful stay in the villa. Close to sights in Booth Toscany and Umbria and in walking distance to lovely Cortona. The house is cosy and well equipped and the garden is lovely. We spent many days just relaxing in the garden. The surrounding mountains are perfect for biking.

Eine sehr schöne Villa, gut gelegen um viele schöne Städte zu besichtigen. Cortona ist von der Villa aus in 5min zu erreichen wo man köstlich essen gehen kann. Der Vermieter oder Verwalter Herr Enrico ist ein ausgesprochen freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Mensch. Nochmals vielen Dank für 14 Tage atemberaubenden Urlaub.

Great time was had by all!
3 Couples from Florida stayed for 6 nights. The villa was more rustic than I expected but it was fun to live as Cortonians... Enrico, one of the owners and caretakers was great. He helped us out several times. The seating areas are not the roomyish but it worked. My husband and I slept in 2 different little rooms downstairs but since one of us snores it worked well. The view and location are fabulous. Easy to visit many other towns. You need a car, no doubt. Sitting outside in the evening was great. Only the 2 rooms upstairs are air conditioned. This time of the year, early May, the downstairs was cool. I think it is pushing it for 3 couples but we are all good friends and it worked! Thank you Enrico! We had a wonderful time!

Beautiful Stone House Overlooking the Val de Chiana and the Chiesa Santa Maria della Grazia
We spent a winter week in this nicely renovated stone farm house on the hill side below Cortona. The house is in a unique and beautiful setting on a terrace overlooking the Val di Chiana. It has a good size well-equipped kitchen with a dining area and its own fireplace. There are two small living/dining areas adjacent to the kitchen. One living area with a second fireplace, nice to have in the winter. The large garden terrace includes a small spa/pool (shut down in the winter). The second floor has two good size bedrooms, with some nice antiques, and the second bathroom. The ground floor also has a very small bedroom and a full bathroom. The original restoration of the house was obviously carefully thought out and well constructed. The arrival is at the owners' family home at the bottom of the hill, and the arrival and check-in went very smoothly. Enrico was friendly, helpful and had any information you may need for your visit to the area. We had a couple of small issues with the house the first day, and Enrico responded immediately and easily remedied everything. Other than the house itself, the views over the Val di Chiana and immediately over the Chiesa Santa Maria della Grazie are spectacular. Wonderful to be outside and just enjoy the views and sunsets.

Wonderful! Beautiful villa, great communication with owner, a Tuscan dream
I can't rave enough about this villa! It is exactly what we were looking for- set in the Tuscan hills with access to the charming town of Cortona (which, incidentally, has a 1 star Michelin restaurant, 2 Bib gourmands, and a few other Michelin guide restaurants...a surprising number of quality places for such a small town!). The villa is spacious, the man who met us was VERY helpful, it's quiet at night, the lawn is much bigger than it looks from the pictures and the bathrooms were surprisingly easy to use for European bathrooms!
One note- it is fairly difficult to walk into Cortona from the villa. It's do-able but, you have to cross or walk down fairly busy roads. That said, it's only a 3-4 minute drive into town. And, this villa is so great, I didn't even care that I couldn't walk to town!

Fanstatic...
The property owner could not have been more gracious. The house and view of the church and the Valdichiana was beautiful. This place is a jewel in Tuscany.

The villa was located perfectly for us! It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Enrico was very accommodating when we had questions, responding quickly! I would recommend this property and would stay there again! We were there 3 weeks and the time flew by! The only thing I would say, is notice the mirror across the street coming out of the drive way and use it!

We called Villa Calcinaio our "little farm house." The house is hidden just above the Santa Maria delle Grazie ala Calcinaio Church which in itself is beautiful to view specially at night when it is lit up. Enric was a charming host and easy to reach by phone or text. It is possible to talk to Cortona from the house, but there are so many other villages to visit that I strongly suggest a car. The living room is small, barely large enough for four adults. I would not suggest this home for 3 adult couples. It would be a great rental for children as there is a large stone fenced yard with a small square pool.
6.0 / 10.0
Good location for Cortona, Camucia, Castilion di Lago, Pergo.
Lotsa of room and hot water. Nice view.
Enrico the manager of the property very helpful and responded quickly to our needs.
Close to Strata so a lot of traffic noise during the day.
Like any villa in the country ants, spiders, centipedes and scorpions are present but with regular sweeping and mopping of floors along with spray/vapour plug ins they can be kept at a minimum.
Keep track of your electrical usage by reading meter every couple days as it can get very expensive ...up to €18/day.
Would stay there again.
