Our Vail home away from home

This was our fourth year staying in Vince's beautiful condo. Honestly, I hate to review it because I want to keep it a secret!:) We are already booked for next year and will continue to spend our winter break in this perfect condo as long as we are able! We love the fireplace, well stocked kitchen and amazingly comfortable bedding. The location is perfect. Short walk to the gondola and the ski locker is the icing on the cake.

Excellent location!

Our family of five just finished a 9-night stay at Villa Cortina. Everything was first-rate! The location can't be beat - you can walk, bike or take the free shuttle everywhere. The condo is so cozy and the beds are to die for! The top of the line kitchen made cooking enjoyable - but easy walk to many great restaurants. Vincent was so easy to work with and helpful. The unit was super clean and well furnished. Also loved having a washer/dryer. If anything, the pictures don't do the place justice, it is beautiful!

Wonderful stay in the heart of Vail

Our experience from start to finish was seemless with the owner/property manager. The condo is a beautiful home with everything you need for a comfortable stay in Vail. The condo is on the second floor and is tucked away against the river so no external noise. The pool is located outside of the master but there was never an issue as our toddler slept in the master room with the windows open each night with no noise issue. I would recommend this condo for anyone looking for a great location and an easy property owner to work with. Thankyou for allowing my family to stay in your home while visiting our family!

Perfect in every way!

This condo was the absolute best! We were in Vail for a long weekend, surprising our son for his 30th birthday. There were 6 adults staying in the condo and it was very accommodating. It was also very clean and well maintained, appearing exactly as the photos show. The location is perfect, as we were able to walk to all restaurants and most activities. Vince, the owner, was very quick in replying to emails and good about recommending his favorite restaurants. I would recommend this condo to anyone and, as my family will tell you, I am very picky!! We had the perfect family getaway and I will stay here again the next time I am in Vail. Thank you, Vince, for everything!!

Luxury Less So

My team and I (a total of six females in our early to mid 30s) stayed at this property for a work trip this past week due to the numerous fabulous reviews posted to VRBO. Ultimately, we disagreed with some of the property listing details and thought it was important to bring up the following considerations that we had during our stay:The Cons:-There is no A/C in the building which we feel should have been clearly stated within the listing. It was mid June and it was in the high 80s during the day and it was extremely hot/miserable inside the unit and we are from Texas so we are accustomed to the heat. -Upon checkin, there was a box of black, moldy strawberries in the fridge-Way too small for the listed 8 people to stay. 6 adults was too cramped especially with luggage.-Too much decor everywhere (felt claustrophobic with low ceilings and very dusty)-Very stinky (like a wood fire was burned in the fireplace with the flue closed and then they added Christmas potpourri to cover it) -Very dark-Hall bath was so tiny you could barely put your legs in front of you on the toilet -The towels were tiny and stained -No "luxury" bath products (Kirkland and Neutrogena)The Pros:-Location is fantastic-Large kitchen table -Parking was readily available, never a concern about having a space -Lots of useful kitchen appliances -High quality bedding-Washer/dryer in unit-The property manager, Tulip, was very sweet To conclude, would I stay again? I would not.

An absolutely beautiful condo! One of the few VRBO‘s where it really felt like home! The location is perfect. The host was fantastic and issues were resolved immediately! We were in Vail for my daughter‘s wedding at the Interfaith Chapel, which is right next-door to the condo. And right across the street from the Sonnenalp Hotel. The bedrooms were a little small, but very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay! Would definitely go back again!

The layout of the unit is excellent. The kitchen meet all of our needs. The bedrooms were comfortable and the three bathrooms were great. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub. The location of the unit to Vail Village and Lions Head was really convenient.That said the floor needs sanding near the door to the balcony. One of our party got a splinter in their foot near the door.

Wonderful experience

Beautifully appointed condo. I could see how proud the owners are of their home. They made it comfortable and cozy. Kitchen fully equipped with all you need to cook. A couple of inconveniences though. No hanging closet in master bedroom. I had to hang my clothes in second bedroom. The hall bathroom was extremely small. We’re 5’8” and our knees touched the wall when sitting. So bathroom had limited use. Hot tub was very close. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thanks for robes!The 10 minute walk to ski locker was easy and pleasant as we enjoyed the ambience of the Village. The ski locker was 5*. So convenient to gondola. Nice warm locker room equipped with yummy lattes for guests. Locker held 3 skis & 1 snowboard and 4 boots. Perfect for us.I would recommend you stay at Villa Cortina for a wonderful vacation experience.

An Oasis of Elegant Tranquility at Vail Village

The most comfy, European Holiday Themed, spacious little Oasis - the best space planning, they have used every inch of space so well, right at the Vail Village. The Best kitchen set up I have ever had in a VRBO. Spent many hours at the large kitchen dining table, eating, laughing, crafting, and planning day trips around the area... Nice & Cheerful caretaker, and The Owner too, responds quickly for any needs.
