The town is beautiful. The setting of the farmhouse is idyllic. It is a tense drive to the farmhouse up the driveway due to the narrow road ( more of a path than a road). The drive up, up, up on the out skirts of Cortona to the house was beautiful but at times scary. Fog so think i only could see 2 feet when we arrived at 9pm.
The hill town of Cortona is a 15 minute walk down an old Roman trail into Cortona. Such a perfect setting with great shops, wine bars, a great local supermarket in the square and very good restaurants. The locals are very friendly and speak English.
You WILL need a car or driver if staying in this home.
Home has washer, dryer, hairdryers, heat, ac & dish washer along with outdoor pizza oven and swimming pool. You can walk up to the Medici Fort above the farm house. Under the Tuscan Sun Villa is just below this farmhouse. A great house, a great stay. You must be able to walk a lot and walk lots of steps and pathways to enjoy the area.
