Absolutely perfect location for Cortona! Only down side is that because it’s centrally located, it’s very noisy at night and early morning. We tolerated it as we felt the location was most important to us.
Great rental, great location! Wish we had stayed longer!

A great, super convenient apartment. Perfect size for a couple.
Lovely warm welcome in person, straightforward check in and instructions and suggestions.
Well stocked kitchen. Great shower. OK WiFi. Toasty warm during a damp and chilly February visit. Everything spotlessly clean.
I can imagine this apartment being a little noisy in high season but nothing that a pair of ear plugs couldn't deal with.
Great value for money given the location in Cortona and the standard of this apartment and the hospitality of the hosts (they organised for a taxi to meet us at Camucia station).
Recommended.

Beautiful flat, very clean and tidy located in the middle of the town near, 100 meters, from the main monuments. Before we arrive we received from Alice, the host, an e-mail with several useful information about the parking and the way to reach the flat. Alice, during the welcome, was very kind with her useful information about restaurants, things to do and trip near Cortona. Thanks a lot Alice.

If AC is important to you, don’t pick this!!!
I went to Tuscany in the summer. I set the filter to “air conditioning”, since I knew it would be hot. The company managing this rental listed this property as such. And there is a little AC in the kitchen. But it does not work much at all. Either terribly undersized or something wrong with it. It was 30C/86F in the bedroom at night. I barely slept.I contacted the rental company and they were zero help. I then reached out to VRBO which prompted the rental company to give me a fan the next day. So now I had 30C hot air being blown around. Another night of very poor sleep.This rental company was defensive, non-caring and dismissive.They call themselves “Rent in Tuscany Italian Tour Operator” on Whatsapp, number 390575969415.Do yourself a favor and avoid them, so you don’t have to fight for your rights as a renter during your vacation.

L'appartamento é bello, caratteristico e curato nei particolari, credo di recente ristrutturazione. Molto pulito e ordinato. In ottima posizione centrale e poco distante dai parcheggi. La zona è centrale, di conseguenza c'è un'altissima presenza di bar ristoranti e attività di ogni genere. La città si sveglia presto, ma a noi non ha dato nessun tipo di problema il rumore. Io riuscivo ad addormentarmi anche con la musica, quindi questo è un aspetto soggettivo che ognuno deve valutare in base alle proprie abitudini. Anche i rumori del mattino non inficiavano sul nostro sonno ????. Aria condizionata e ventilatore in ogni caso aiutano. Bagno bello, con doccia spaziosa e bidet! La cucina é ben attrezzata, piatti bicchieri pentole etc non sono contati come spesso accade, ce ne sono in abbondanza. Credo sia uno degli alloggi più pulito che ho trovato fino ad ora.
Appartamento splendido e ottimamente posizionato. Rifiniture storiche originali. Insomma un sogno se Non si considera la presenza di infissi ormai datati. Di fatto l'appartamento si trova proprio sopra la piazzetta principale e se è bello andare a dormire alle 3...non è piacevole svegliarsi sempre alle 7 di mattina perché scaricano merce nel minimarket di sotto e i negozianti parlano tra loro ad alta voce.
We loved the apartment and the location right off the main piazza.

La posizione, la gentilezza e disponibilità dello staff, la comunicazione efficiente, la casa accogliente e fornita di tutto il necessario anche per soggiorni più lunghi. Tornerei subito!
We spent 10 nights in Cortona and enjoyed our stay. The apartment was perfect for the two of us. The space is comfortable and well done. Be aware tho that you are situated directly in the piazza and there is noise late into the night and starts out early in the morning due to the cafe right below. On the flip side you’re close to restaurants, the market, the bus stop; the location is ideal. We loved our stay and highly recommend the unit, and almost forgot, the management staff were very helpful with all our questions and were such a big help to us.

Appartamenti ben arredato e pulitissimo, cucina con tutti gli utensili (inclusi forno, lavastoviglie e microonde) per chi volesse cucinare e mangiare in casa. Posizione ottima in pieno centro, con vista sulla piazza principale del paese. Per chi arriva a Cortona con i mezzi, occorre scendere alla stazione ferroviaria di Camucia e prendere uno dei bus che salgono al paese, i biglietti si possono acquistare a bordo o al bar accanto alla stazione. Poi occorre seguire le indicazioni su Google maps, poiché a seconda del bus preso il capolinea può essere in punti diversi, ma comunque si tratta sempre di 3-5 minuti a piedi. Staff gentilissimo, hanno preso contatto qualche settimana prima in modo da accordarci per tempo sull'orario di check in e ci siamo tenuti in contatto costante tramite Whatsapp.

Mi è piaciuto tutto! L'appartamento è una vera chicca, c'è persino una piccola lavastoviglie e la lavatrice. È tutto nuovo e ben distribuito. Ma il vantaggio principale è la posizione. Nella piazza dove è collocato c'è praticamente tutto: minimarket, frutteria, tabacchi, bar caffè e pasticceria dove fare colazione, i migliori ristoranti a due passi, varie enoteche per l'aperitivo...tutto lì. Noi che abbiamo utilizzato Cortona come base per girare un po' la Toscana, abbiamo apprezzato molto questi aspetti. Tornando nel pomeriggio dalle escursioni è stato molto rilassante trovarsi in quella posizione eccellente, anche i bambini hanno gradito molto! Infine ci tengo a sottolineare la cortesia delle proprietarie che non ci hanno fatto attendere un minuto per il check in e ci hanno fornito le informazioni su dove parcheggiare e dove cenare. Ottimo soggiorno sotto tutti i punti di vista!
Se devo trovare un difetto direi sicuramente il rumore che arriva dalla strada, ma essendo proprio sulla piazza principale non si può pretendere che sia silenziosa.

The room was lovely. It has everything that a couple would need. The foyer with the old stone walls was great. The shower has good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Cortona is a very pretty and clean. For a casual atmosphere, good food, and craft beer, visit "Birrificio Cortonese"
