Lovely home, beautiful surroundings and gracious hosts!
We stayed here with our 2 year old son and it was the perfect spot to explore Tuscany and Umbria, and also to relax and unwind. Cortona is a short drive away and a postcard worthy town. The kitchen at the house was fabulous and we cooked several meals at home after exploring the market. We also did a cooking class with Simona, which was a delicious highlight. Caroline and Pino were so accommodating and helpful during the stay. Our son loved the garden and trampoline. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful setting perfect for a relaxing break...
We are a family of 4 (two children ages 8 and 3 years). We stayed in the Fontanella which was perfect for a small family as we could also put the children to bed and enjoy the lounge and outdoor area. The villa had a lovely tuscan feel to it with modern amenities. My daughter enjoyed using the piano and the kitchen was very well equipped! Clearly a great location for cooking courses. We experience a pizza making course for the children and the adults enjoyed the tastings! I was also lucky enough to be shown how to make a favourite Italian desert of mine by the very experienced Simona - a lovely host/chef - thank you! The villa was a in the perfect location to explore Cortona, Montepulciano and other hill top towns. The Villa was also air-conditioned which was welcomed in 35/40 degrees heatwave! Antonio, Alessandro and Mari-Anna were perfect hosts for the duration of our stay. They were able to help us with our trips, cooking courses and even recommend the local restaurant they worked in for a meal an amazing meal at Locanda Del Molino. I would highly recommend these villas for a peaceful retreat, cooking course, exploring Tuscany/Umbria, Wine tastings and for photographers and painters! I wish I had more time to paint the beautiful sunflowers! The scenery really is something special. Thank you for looking after us and introducing us to a place I will come back too!

Why they chose this property

When we stood in the driveway we knew it was right for us. At the time it was still a ruin and had been empty for over 30 years ! We were drawn by the peacefulness of the place. There were no roads nearby making it safe for the children to play freely.

What makes this property unique

360 degree views of wooded hills, vineyards, olive groves, lake and stream running through.
A lovely big swimming pool with loungers and grassy areas for sunbathing and reading.
For families with children there are soccer & volley ball nets, a croquet lawn, swings and climbing frame, bikes of various sizes and a trampoline, used not just for jumping but also star gazing at night - we have no light pollution. We are walking distance (1km) from 2 coffee bars, food market, 2 restaurants, pizzeria, beauty salon, hairdressers, hardware store, clothing shop. We are only minutes from the historic town of Cortona and yet immersed in tranquillity.
You can walk, run or bike for miles and not need to touch the asphalt.
