Cortona is conveniently located in a 1,15 hrs drive from Florence, 2 hrs from Rome and Pisa International Airports, 30 mins from Perugia (in Umbria) and Arezzo, 45 mins from Siena, 35 mins from Montepulciano, 1hr from Assisi (Umbria) e Montalcino (where the famous 'Brunello' wine comes from)...all the best sights of the famous Tuscan countryside, with yellow sunflower fields in the summer and multi colored trees in the spring!

Une vue mémorable!

Mon séjour à La Terrazza Sulla Valle a été fantastique. Vanna est une hôtesse très gentille, toujours disponible et très attentionnée. Elle a contribué à rendre mon séjour dès plus agréable. Cortone est une ville Toscane extraordinaire à visiter, tout est disponible à quelques pas de l’appartement. Les vues sont saisissantes.Les gens sont très sympathiques et les bâtiments historiques nous plongent au temps médiéval. La vue panoramique depuis la terrasse est à couper le souffle et me fera rêver jusqu’à mon prochain retour! Merci Vanna, tu es une femme inspirante!

Fabulous Cortona

The property was just as advertised and all that we hoped for. Our private patio with a view was a delight for lazy afternoons or evenings, enjoying the Tuscan warmth and beautiful light and the privacy was perfect. Our hostess was extremely helpful and went above and beyond as we had a minor emergency and she insisted on helping every step of the way. An excellent location to visit several of the other surrounding towns.

About the host

Hosted by Mirko Tessandori

I'm a musician traveling the world, living between the US and Italy and I manage my family properties from wherever I am. I cherish the friendship we get to establish with our guests, that then become our friends and come back to stay with us! :-)

Why they chose this property

This is my family house and we owned it since ever, as far as we know. My mother, grandparents and great grandparents lived here. It was a big house originally, then divided into 6 smaller apartments.

What makes this property unique

A breath-taking view of the Valdichiana Valley, 2 steps away from a nice park and 5 mins walk from the Historical Centre, the 'Rugapiana' promenade with all its shops, the main square with its clock tower and flight of steps over the 'Piazza'! I also enjoy very much walking at the 'Parterre', a long tree-lined unpaved road that takes you to a Tennis court overlooking the whole Valley...priceless!!!
