A truly special place. Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Luca is a warm and caring host with a one of a kind property. Pictures do not do this place justice. It’s heaven with a view to write songs about.

House had a real slow drain in the shower (primary) and flooded the bathroom first day. We ended up using the second bathroom shower. The kitchen sink also had a drain that was completely clogged and smelled. "Air conditioning" was a mini split in the living room with a huge skylight above it which negated quite a bit of the cooling. There was no air conditioning in the 2 bedrooms in the main house which made sleeping miserable. there is a mini split in the cabin separate from the main house. Note: The walk into Cortona is about 10 minutes down a pretty steep hill. Walk back up the hill from the center to the house requires a bit of fitness and in the heat we had some whiny kids. Overall, the house was not a refuge we were looking for. There was WAY to much furniture cluttering hallways, bedrooms etc. You can't open the door to the bathroom in the primary bedroom more than 45 degrees as a huge armoire blocks fully opening. The furniture was old and desperately needs an update. Luca was nice and greeted us upon arrival and was quick to respond to questions.

The place is great. I only wish there were a few more kitchen towels and a map to show an easier arrival. Don’t drive thru Cortona, go above towards the church and drive down.

Nestled up in the hill, the view is spectacular. The property has a nice garden area with the pool and the property manager lives on the bottom floor and was easily available for any needs as well as cooked us a fabulous meal. The space is a simple, traditional, rustic Italian home and was only about a 10 minute walk to the town center.
