Une vue superbe mais une maison sans grand charme.
Un très bel endroit dans les collines mais un chemin difficilement accessible ce que l’annonce ne précise pas. La maison est très fonctionnelle mais manque de charme. En revanche, Manuela et son frère sont charmants,
This is a lovely home in a quiet setting with wonderful views. The setup is very good for either a family or two couples. It has a large and comfortable living room, which is sometimes hard to find in Italian homes. Cortona is a quick five-minute drive or a long walk, and there is also Torreone Cafe for a quick bite closer to home.
The owners were very nice and accessible. Check-in was easy, although there was a bit more paperwork than we are used to,
Overall a nice stay and we would stay here again.
