Wonderful Tuscan Paradise

We enjoyed a week in this wonderful villa/farmhouse as part of our summer tour of Italy. It’s a simply stunning place to stay, with open plan living and bedrooms all on one floor with en-suite bathrooms and additional utility room with toilet downstairs. The whole place is private and accessed from a farm track meaning there is virtually no passing traffic and the only noise is nature and birdsong! The garden and pool are delightful and just what we needed after days out exploring the region. Lovely sunbeds and super clean. The area is very peaceful and a car is required to get around to explore. Nearby Cortona is a fantastic hilltop historical town with amazing views and great nightlife absolutely worth a visit day and night. Lake Trasimeno is also a wonderful place to visit around 30 minutes drive and the towns on the lakeside offer a wonderful sunset drink or daytime beach location. We also enjoyed days out in Florence Siena and Arezzo and slightly further a field to Gubbio and Rome. The information provided by Paul and Heather is outstanding and the communication is the best we’ve had in any rental. We will absolutely be back in the future.

Castle Sant Agata

We recently spent two weeks in this property and would recommend it highly both as a comfortable and well-equipped home from home and as an excellent base for exploring this beautiful region of Italy. The owner Paul provided first class information and assistance when required - the guide to local places of interest, restaurants and other practical information was particularly helpful. Took (early morning) trips to Castiglione del Lago, Montepulciano, Siena, San Gimingnano and Florence, with a very welcome cooling dip in the pool at the end of each day. The villa is on the doorstep of Cortona - a pleasure to spend a few evenings there enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and lovely food. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking of booking this property, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic

We've just come back from 2 weeks in this property. It was fantastic, absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for nightlife and a rowdy time then this wont be for you. If you're looking for peace and quiet, a relaxing time, a child friendly pool and an authentic Italian experience then you should look no further. This property is located 10/15 minutes drive from Carmucia/Cortona which has everything you need in the way of food and provisions, there's even a train line to Rome/Florence. The property is in a rural location but you can walk around 15 minutes to a restaurant/bar/local shops if you wanted. It's well located for visits to Florence/Sienna/Cortonna/San Gimignano/Lake Trasemino. The villa is very well appointed with a fantastic outdoor BBQ, shaded area in which to sit and relax. The beds were comfortable, we all slept very very well. The kitchen has everything you need if you prefer to cook. I'd recommend you take some mozzy spray if you go to this area though, all the tourists were walking about with distinctly spotty legs !!! Last but not least, the communication from the owner, from start to finish, was fantastic. They could not have been any more helpful. A big thanks to them.

Tuscan Dream

We recently stayed at this beautiful property for a week, which was not long enough. Everything about it oozed Tuscan charm and character. It is so peaceful and tranquil, the ideal spot to chill out. We were not in a postition to hire a car but managed quite well by using local taxis but would recoment anyone coming to stay to have a vehicle. The whole experience was wonderful from first booking, all the help received from Paul and Heather and the local agent who was on hand to answer and deal with any queries. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and indeed hope to return soon.

Tuscan Paradise

Absolutely gorgeous villa in an incredibly beautiful setting. Comfortable interior (a home away from home), lovely big garden, fantastic pool (every day was a pool day, even till 8pm!), gorgeous scenery (Cortona in the distance, vineyards behind). We had a truly wonderful holiday. Usually towards the end of our holidays, we look forward to coming home, but the day before we left we all said we could have done with at least another week (or forever to be honest). The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was modern and well equipped, the local CoOp was only 15 minutes drive away. We were all in need of a chilled out holiday and we managed to have that and much more. Marialena (our contact whilst staying in Italy) checked we had settled in and was quick to respond to any queries. We relaxed by the pool, in the pool, in the villa (during the really hot hours) and visited friends in Montepulciano. There is so much to see within a short drive of the villa, its location is convenient for everything. It's also so peaceful. A true delight. We can't recommend this villa highly enough... although that works against us as we're planning on returning and don't want the competition for available dates! :)

About the host

Hosted by Paul Clarke

We have been to the beautiful area of Cortona many times during the past 20 years for family holidays and adore everything about it. It's a fantastic Italian experience: friendly people and wonderful food, wine, coffee and ice-cream set amongst numerous amazing medieval villages and towns.

We have tried to create a little bit of luxury in a lovely rural setting and have painstakingly renovated our house to maintain it's character and provide modern convenience. The peaceful location offers lots of variety with great access for day trips. Relax by the pool or go for walks/cycling from right outside the house. Eat in/dine out - you're spoilt for choice.

We hope that you will be tempted to visit and make our home your home and so begin your love affair with Cortona
