Further Details - Local Area Cortona and surroundings The villa is walking distance to a restaurant about 200 mt , to the nice village of Camucia 1 km and to Cortona, about 2 km ( up on the hill for good walkers) The area of Tuscany lying south of Siena and hugging the border with Umbria is a treasure trove of natural beauties and cultural delights, especially the hills around Cortona, which provide a splendid backdrop for the villa. Cortona itself is a wonderful place to while away the time, with its shops and gardens, theatre, market, and many tiny squares, which bustle with activity throughout the warmer months. Other charming towns within a short drive include Cetona, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, and the tiny village of Anghiari where traditional hand-crafted textiles and linen are made and sold. Daytrips in Umbria might include Assisi and Perugia, and the tiny village of Deruta, famous for its pottery. Visits to nearby vineyards are a treat, and golf, windsurfing, sailing, skydiving, balloon rides, hiking and biking are all possible in the immediate vicinity ARRIVAL DETAILS

Guest Book Dear Sabrina, We just returned to Germany yesdy, and I wanted to express our biggest gratitude to the excellent location and the fabulous hospitality received. It was great from all aspects! Many many thanks for your supportive service and good advice, Have a nice week, Yigal ------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sabrina, Just a brief note to let you know what a wonderful experience my family had at the villa cortona. the villa, grounds and pool were perfect and immaculate. Paola, Fiorella and their family were warm and welcoming, truly embodying the spirit of tuscan hospitality. We so enjoyed meeting them and are inspired to learn italian and return. Our family has rented villas all over the world and the combination of the beauty of the setting, warmth and character of the house, and open hearted welcome has made this trip the most memorable for my family. Please extend our thanks to the Felice family for their hospitality. We would love to return soon. Ciao. marta Villa split into 2 halves: first half: dbl room, twin room - both aircon, kitchen with dishwasher, shower room & lounge/diner with aircon & internet access. 2nd half: large double with aircon, a twin, a lounge diner with aircon, a well equipped 2nd kitchen and a single whuch did not have a door, only a curtain so we moved the bed into the twin for 3 girls. This twin did not have aircon but the family we holidayed with bought a fan and left it there. Outside there is an annex with a washing machine and an outside drying area that does not impinge on your views. (There is an upstairs villa above the 2nd half which is still to be renovated - making the villa ideal for 3 famlies) The pool area and gardens are beautiful and well maintained - The owner show a great interest in gardening so little extras like a garden hammock, an outside shower and an under cover outside eating area (with power) are well thought out. Nice touches like pastries laid out on the first morning and a message book. Paolo visits early every morning without you knowing and checks the pool and on the middle Saturday a team descends to clean, change linen, check the pool and maintain the garden. The property is about a quarter way up the hill to Cortona with Camucia being closest for daily needs. 2 bicycles are provided but a steep climb awaits you whichever way you go and there are no pavements so a car is really necessary. Shopping was best done at Eurospar & Coop in Camucia and good meals were had at Il Melone between Camucia and Castiglione and also at Osteria del Teatro in Cortona (very traditional Tuscan ffod). A bit further afield in Montepluciano is Caffe Poliziano where you can sit on the terrace in the basement for good views. For a cheap night in whilst the euro is high the takeaway pizzas at Il Ghiottone in Camucia are brilliant. If I had any negative comments (and these are really picky!!) I think perhaps the lack of aircon in the 2nd twin should be mentioned and a ceiling fan in the outside eating area would be good to keep you cool whilst downing your G and T's and to keep the moths away at night. Aircon is charged seperately; the 1st 150kw is included; our 2 families only used a bit extra over the 2 weeks and we were let off the extra payment which would have been minimal. We only used the aircon in the bedrooms at night and not all night Have fun - we did! Joanne cambridge Dear Sabrina, I am sorry it took so long to reply. We had a great 2 week vacation in Tuscany from the first to the last day. Cortona was a perfect location to explore the surrounding cities and towns of Tuscany, all within reasonable diving time. We still talk about the charming town of Cortona with its intriguing small streets, shops and restaurants. Villa Poggio lies just below the town with breathtaking views over the valley. The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful. Paolo and crew keep it in immaculate shape and everyone was super friendly and helpful. We spend many mornings and evenings at the pool area to enjoy the wonderful views and the refreshing cool water. We hope to come back one day. Thank you, Ralf (USA Michigan) |
