À propos de cette location de vacances
Built in 1251 yet totally remodeled in 2014- Located in Historic Cortona City
2 chambres, 2 salles de bain situées à l'intérieur du centre-ville historique de Cortona - Walk Everywhere - Dans cette maison vivaient deux personnes très célèbres : au 13ème siècle vivait la sainte patronne de Cortone : Santa Margherita et son fils et son chien. Elle peut toujours être visitée dans la cathédrale Santa Margherita au sommet de Cortona, où elle se trouve dans son cercueil en verre sous l'autel. Et dans la seconde moitié du 20e siècle, le célèbre professeur de langues Charles van Doren, qui a été le point focal du plus grand scandale de quiz dans l'histoire de la télévision américaine. Un film Hollywood a été tourné à ce sujet avec Ralph Finnes. Charles van Doren a aussi écrit un ouvrage en trois volumes sur la vie au XVe siècle à Cortone (Le Lion de Cortone) qui mérite d'être lu. Entièrement rénovée en 2014/20, la maison comprend la climatisation dans la chambre principale, laveuse et sécheuse, chauffage au gaz, wifi, 2 télévisions connectées avec antenne parabolique. Salles de bains en marbre. Deux entrées à la maison - l'entrée principale au niveau de la rue - et une en bas, où il y a une sortie vers une petite ruelle confortable, avec un petit patio avec table et chaises. Cuisine neuve avec tout ce que vous pourriez souhaiter comme cuisinière à gaz, grand réfrigérateur avec congélateur, etc. Le rez-de-chaussée dispose d'un chauffage au sol. La maison de ville est unique car elle s'étend sur trois étages. Le rez-de-chaussée du niveau de la rue qui est Via Moneti. Il comprend un salon avec canapé et fauteuil ainsi qu’une cuisine avec cheminée et coin repas. Il y a aussi un coin lecture confortable avec vue - la chambre en bas avec sa propre salle de bain et buanderie. Sortez sur le patio où se trouve une table avec des chaises où vous pourrez déguster votre café du matin. Et à l'étage supérieur une suite parentale avec lit king size, salle de bains en marbre avec puits de lumière ainsi que des vues spectaculaires sur le Val di Chiana. Au rez-de-chaussée il y a un canapé-lit double queen-size. À l'intérieur des murs étrusques, vous trouverez de tout, des restaurants haut de gamme, une myriade de bars avec du vin ou des tapas, ainsi que des boutiques de luxe élégantes, le boucher local ou un marchand de légumes et le marché du samedi et un marché d'antiquités mensuel et des événements culturels. La ville est devenue mondialement célèbre lorsque le tournage du roman de Frances Mayes "Sous le soleil de Toscane" a eu lieu ici. Frances, qui vit dans la ville, décrit dans son roman comment elle a été captivée par l'atmosphère particulière de la Toscane et surtout par cette ville. Mais il y a beaucoup de choses à vivre ici. Les principales attractions incluent la grande cathédrale avec le « Museo Diocesano » juste en face. Le grand musée « MAEC » qui abrite l'une des plus grandes collections au monde de trouvailles étrusques. Il y a 22 églises dans cette ville, toutes avec leur art distinctif et merveilleux. San Nicolò, l'un de mes préférés, abrite deux fantastiques retables du fils de la ville, Luca Signorelli. L'un des grands maîtres de la Renaissance.
Il a également nommé le petit opéra où il y a souvent des concerts et d'autres événements. Le week-end, il y a un cinéma ici. Un « incontournable » est de visiter "Le Celle" (les cellules) où Frans d'Assise a vécu longtemps et sa cellule est encore visible dans sa forme originale. Le monastère est toujours actif et a le culte avec service franciscains le dimanche.
Cortona est située dans le ‘trou du beurre’ en Toscane et vous pouvez facilement faire des excursions dans les villes environnantes. Je mention comme sa : Montepulciano, Sienna, Lucca, San Gimignano, Assisi, Arezzo avec son célèbre marché d'antiquités le premier week-end du mois pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. Il ne faut pas non plus oublier que Florence est accessible en train en 1h30 et Rome en un peu plus de 2 heures. Dans les collines autour de Cortona, il y a plusieurs restaurants et caves en étoile Michelin où vous pourrez divertir votre palais.
Avec la randonnée dans les montagnes, le VTT dans les collines et le centre de formation "Body Line" en dessous de la montagne en Camucia, il y a amplement l'occasion de vous équiper pour la visite du restaurant de ce soir. Vous êtes les bienvenus ici ..... je vous le promets.

The apartment is part of a structure that was built about 800 years ago. It has been nicely renovated with a good kitchen. The main bedroom upstairs is large and has a great ensuite and air conditioning. Downstairs bedroom is also a good size with its own ensuite. Location is close to the main piazza’s and lots of great restaurants. If you like history, this is a great property.

Property was a little smaller than expected and only has air conditioning in the top floor bedroom, which made it unpleasant for the people stuck sleeping downstairs, especially since Cortona was having record high temperatures while we were there. However, it was quiet, well equipped and centrally located.

Clean, walking distance to many restaurants and shops and a short, 20 minute drive to so many beautiful vineyards.

We were visiting our daughter who was studying abroad with the University of Georgia This apartment was 2-5 min walk to their dorms and close to the same to all restaurants and shops. The 2 bedroom 2 bath was spacious and very comfortable. I’d stay here again!

Beautiful house and location. Very convenient to the city center. It’s the perfect setting.
Steep climb! Don’t forget anything, so you have to run back down to the city square!

Casa Santa Margarita is a Cortona gem. Its interesting history combined with its great location within the walled city and the views of the Valdichiana make it truly special. Though the home is in a peaceful area, it is near some of Cortona’s best restaurants. And the kitchen is well equipped should you elect to take a short walk to the butcher, bakery, or fresh pasta maker.
We stayed 2-1/2 wonderful weeks. From the first moment we connected with the owner to throughout our stay, Mikael always promptly and most helpfully responded.
And it was a surprise and treat to be able to view and enjoy several of Mikael paintings throughout the home. Though parking is usually quite a challenge in Cortona, there is easy access to nearby free parking.
All in all - Casa Santa Margarita is a delightful place to stay in Cortona!

Santa Margherita was what we were looking for and met every expectation. Family of 2 couples. Perfect size for us! If you know the hills of Cortona this is the perfect spot to stay!

The house is wonderful. Old, Cosy and what a view. Located just above the city Center close to all bars and restaurants. Even a small supermarket is close even though one can only get tue most basic supplies there. You can need them however, because the kitchen has got all the necessary tools to conjure up a great meal.
Parking is available nearby unloading is a bit cumbersome because the streets are really narrow around the house.
I enjoyed the stay and can only recommend the Cortona area in general as well as the house in particular.

Amazing beauty around every corner
Mikael, the owner of the property, was absolutely the best! From his first email, to the day we departed, he was very attentive to all of our needs. We drove from Rome and agreed to meet him at a parking lot on the north side of Cortona. Originally, we had an ETA to meet there at 2PM, got lost, but stayed in contact with Mikael and we finally met him at 3:30 PM where he was happily waiting for us. We followed him up a beautiful hill on VERY narrow streets and he ushered our bags in the house and took the car to the free parking area. Mikael told us the story of Saint Magharita of Cortona, who once resided in the house! In the kitchen, we found a bottle of wine and some snacks and cold water in the fridge. Kitchen had all of the essentials like salt, pepper, olive oil etc…
Pictures of the house on the site do not do it justice. In the ancient, yet beautifully remodeled home, you will find very comfortable furnishings and decor that took our breath away. The views from the kitchen and upstairs bedroom were stunning! We appreciated Mikael’s kindness and loved Cortona and we will be back.
Five star plus!!

Perfect Stay
My husband and I stayed here for almost 3 weeks. The home is comfortable and clean and so close to the action in Cortona. Everything you need for a wonderful stay is provided. The beds are very comfortable and the location is quiet. This 3-level house is perfect for 4 with a master suite upstairs and downstairs. If needed the couch in the living room folds out. The temps were pretty high during our visit so we asked our host Mikael for a couple of fans. Almost immediately he bought 2 fans and brought them over. With the upstairs air-conditioning and the fans, the house was very cool and comfortable. Two thumbs up for this gem of a house.

Vacation under the Tuscan sun
For our visit to Cortona, we booked Casa Margherita for 4 nights. Our experience far exceeded our expectations! The house was beautifully decorated, very clean and furnished with everything needed for a comfortable stay. In addition, the location in Old Town was perfect for walking to see the sights, dining and shopping. We highly recommend this property and look forward to hopefully returning sometime in the future!

Gorgeous views in a terrific Cortona neighborhood
This property was absolutely perfect for a brief (8-day) getaway in one of our very favorite Italian places. The check-in process was seamless, easy and they even had cold water waiting fo us in the refrigerator. The upstairs bedroom offered breathtaking views of the Valdichiana - the shower was extra large by Tuscan standards, and the bed supremely comfortable. The hosts checked in with us periodically and could not have done more to make us feel welcome. We would unhesitatingly recommend this place to others, and would absolutely use it again.

Une très jolie maison historique sur un air de dolce vità !
Cette merveilleuse maison de village sur 3 étages, nous a permis de passer un séjour très agréable à Cortona. L'âme de cette maison historique et son emplacement sont un plus pour visiter cette magnifique cité. Très jolie décoration ! Seul bémol : l'espace extérieur trop limité pour dîner dehors, mais c'est une maison de ville ! Mikael est un hôte très attentionné qui a rendu notre séjour très agréable. Nous avons déjà envie de retourner à Cortona !

Sehr schönes Haus mitten in der Altstadt
Sehr schön renoviertes Haus in der Altstadt, Piazza della Republica schnell zu Fuß zu erreichen. Gut ausgestattet mit schönem Ambiente. Vermieter hat uns spät abends am Eingang der Altstadt erwartet und ist durch die Gassen zum Haus vorausgefahren, sehr hilfsbereit. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen.

Top 5 Best Places to Stay EVER
This extraordinary townhouse is the rare perfect stay. It has a fascinating history, the authenticity, the comfort, the location, and an amazing floor plan for sharing a house with family or friends, and is absolutely immaculate. Book Casa Santa Margherita FIRST, and then plan the rest of your Tuscany trip.

We really enjoyed this property. It is very charming and is very well maintained. Lovely rustic charm of an old Cortona home. Accomodations were superb. Be prepared for some great exercise walking up and down the hills to the piazza. There is a built in alarm clock called the church tower which rings at 7 am most days. That is to be expected in a town like Cortona. There are many great places to dine and shop in the area within walking distance.

Charming, authentic home dating back to the 1300’s
Go back in time in this charming home updated with modern conveniences in the historic old town of Cortona. In a ten minute walk you can eat at a dlelicious restaurant (of many choices), go to a museum, visit a fortress from Medici times, stroll In beautiful gardens, get a coffee or gelato and sit in a piazza and watch people go by, take an authentic traditional Italian cooking class in a local home, or visit churches and shops. Wonderful! Hill walking to the home not for those with physical constraints. Otherwise....not to be missed. Owner Kim is a true hostess and she will guide you to the best that Cortona has to offer.

Great place!
Can't say enough positive things about our stay in Cortona and about the apartment we rented from Kim.
- Kim was great in providing unsolicited ideas about the town and area - places of interest, things to do, etc. - we took full advantage of her ideas and were never disappointed.
- Apartment is great. Slept four comfortably, A/C worked great and washer/dryer were a real plus.
- Just a few short blocks from the main piazza - spent a lot of time in town and very easy to pop back up to the apartment to freshen up or have a quick rest; not a touristy town or setting at all, compared to other places we've visited
- Kim was super - always very responsive and helpful!

Charmingly decorated and very comfortable. Wonderful view of valley and lake from various windows.
Located in a very quiet part of town but close enough to the various Piazza's where there was some activity like music, flag competitions or food and antique markets.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location.
We had a wonderful stay in Cortona. It was lovely to come back to this home every day. Wine tasting and sampling all the restaurants around the town were our highlight. Newly renovated but keeping with traditions this home is truly perfect for anyone wanting to visit Cortona.

Incredible!
Was here for a wonderful relaxing stay in October. It's an amazing property! The views are amazing and everything in Cortona is just a short, scenic stroll from the villa. Well appointed, clean, comfortable, words can't describe. Would, and have, recommended this to my friends and will definitely go again. Stay in this lovely villa and thoroughly enjoy the community and people.

Simply amazing
The home is simply amazing but the owners are what helped put our vacation over the top fabulous! They helped arrange car transfers from the train station to the home and set us up with our own personal driver for the day to shop, wine taste & tour without having to worry about renting a car. They also set up a private cooking class with a local woman in her very own kitchen! The "real deal"! They personally know the area so were able to advise us on what to do and where to go like a "local". The location of this rental home couldn't be better. The renovations, furniture and amenities such as Wi-Fi and an espresso machine made us feel right at home. The gorgeous view out the master bedroom allows you to see for miles. The master bedroom also has a large bathroom with a huge marble shower. The master & 2nd bedroom are on two different levels of this home giving privacy to both. We enjoyed sitting at the small bistro table out back for afternoon wine & snacks with views of the city. We normally don't visit the same place twice but this house will be the exception. We can't wait to go back to Cortona and stay in this home again.

Wonderful Tuscan Retreat
I stayed here with five girlfriends in September. Beautiful tuscan decor with new appliances and all the conveniences of home. The new bathrooms, kitchen and laundry are fabulous and not usually found in a rental. Perfect for a short getaway or a longer stay. The location is perfect! In the center but quiet and a short 5 minute walk to stores and restaurants. The owner told us of several fabulous side trips: thermal spa, wine tastings and a monastery founded by Saint Francis of Assissi! Perfect vacation!! Will definitely stay here again. P

September 2014
Stayed here with a group of friends--4 adult women total. The house is wonderful--captures the ancient charm of Cortona homes, but with modern amenities. The home provides fabulous bathrooms, reliable Wi-Fi, wonderful bedding and mattresses, a washer and dryer, and the location is great. While the house is not huge, it provided plenty of space for us and was a great place to come back to after exploring Cortona and the surrounding area. I think the house seems roomier than the pictures suggest--that was a pleasant surprise. Staying here made me feel less like a tourist than I did in other areas of our trip. The owners provided great tips on restaurants and fun things to do in the area. I will definitely stay here again if I am in the area and would easily recommend it to friends.

Absolutely beautiful home!!
I was at the house in mid-September with 3 girlfriends. This house is spectacular! It is the perfect combination - historic home that has been completely renovated inside. It has modern and luxurious amenities yet is so charming! The 2 bedrooms are beautiful and have gorgeous bathrooms. The kitchen and living area are so cozy. We enjoyed wine and cheese in the lovely outdoor area. The location is perfect - in the center of Cortona. It was easy to walk to every square and restaurant. The views are amazing! I would definitely stay at this home again and would highly recommend it to anyone!
