HomeAway stated Villa was located downtown in charming Cortona but 2 days before arriving the voucher and driving directions showed us that the Villa was located 23 min. by car to Cortona so goodbye dining out everyday day enjoying wine and hello cooking every meal for 14 people. The kitchens for a Villa for 14 people was hilarious, poor cutlery, no bowls, most of the kitchenware didn’t work and dishwasher and washing machine took 3 hours and was from ancient time. The Villa owner only spoke Italien and impossible to communicate with, HomeAway and their contractor Emma Villa is several days answering mails and complaints. Broken glass on grass where 5 children walked daily, some beds impossible to sleep in, Mosqito net in window was broken, the house constantly smelled of toilet in garden and sometimes also in the living room, the closets smelled old and the house needed fresh air, electrical in wall started to smell burnt and I could continue. We tried to ignore all this and make it a great Holiday but the price for the Villa should be at least 50% lower to match the realistic.

We had never planned this type of vacation but it could not have turned out better. The pictures online are amazing but you just don't appreciate the beauty and wonder of this historic property until you arrive. From the moment we checked in, Andre was so passionate about the house and the work they had done. The house is huge, the grounds are very well maintained. The pool is wonderful. Each room is unique and well kept. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are great, the shower pressure is great. All the amenities you can hope for...and of course the location is perfect to 'get away' from it all but still be within a simple drive to Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, Assisi, Montepulciano, and even Florence is barely 90 minutes away. Just wonderful. But the experience was even more special because of Mario and his hospitality. Andre's father was there every day care taking the yard, the pool and just making sure we had every thing we needed. We can easily without question recommend the property.

What a stunning place to stay and relax. Excellent property, very well equipped, very clean. Very friendly landlord, nice garden and great pool, all in all an outstanding location.

If you are looking for a great Tuscan vacation in a beautiful Tuscan villa, close to excellent food, wine and some of the most spectacular scenary you can imagine, then look no further. This is the place for you. The house is wonderful and definitely worth the price!

The character of the property is fantastic. The park was very beautiful, perfect for a stay with children and the rare sophore trees wonderful. The furnishings and tastefully done decoration of the house and rooms was a delight! It felt good to be in a house that oozes history. I would certainly go again!

Charming, clean, beautiful setting. It was a nice house - not so nice that it was uncomfortable but nice like a Tuscan farmhouse would be. We loved it.

We will be delighted to stay again in the future and have to warmly recommend other families to consider booking. You won't be disappointed.

Clean, spacious, well organised and a great location. We had a wonderful stay at the villa and enjoyed every minute of it. The pool and the gardens were fantastic! All in all a fantastic holiday!
