Wonderful stay in Tuscany.
Overall we had a wonderful stay! This property is very charming and in an ideal location for exploring Tuscany. It was exactly what we were looking for in terms of a traditional Tuscany house to serve as a home base for our trip. The property itself is beautiful with fruit and olive trees surrounding it and flowers on the grounds. The house is very roomy with many places to sit outside and big bedrooms, with a giant kitchen table. Note that there is no AC (as is typical in Italy) - but there were plenty of fans in the house and in the evening the air is much cooler for sleeping. The pool was wonderful and was a lifesaver for us, as we were there during a heatwave. The host, Mauro, was very accommodating and friendly and provided us with recommendations for shops and restaurants.
The location of the house could not be more perfect for exploring the Tuscany area. It is only a 10 minute drive to Cortona, which is a lovely town up on a hilltop with tons of great restaurants and cafes, and sights to see. It is also located very close to Siena, Montelpulciano, and Montalcino and a beautiful lake. There are several supermarkets in the nearby town and you can buy anything you need there. The house itself is outside of the main town, so not "walkable" to cafes or restaurants. We would definitely recommend and look forward to another stay there at some point in the future.
