Wonderful

This upstairs apartment is even better than the photos. Since the house i climbing the hillside every floor of the house has it’s own entrance and garden. The house is rustic and charming and with a stunning view. The garden and small pool is privat and beautiful. Luca is very helpful and answers all your questions quick. Cortona is so nice with a lot of restaurants. Be sure to make reservations. The best ones are very popular. My and my family really recommend this house. We also recommend you to book the dinner Luca offers. One of the best experiences of the week. Note: the village is very steep and not good for people with walking difficulties.

Heaven on Earth

We spent the most lovely 4 days with Luca, and his beautiful spot. Perfect place with the views, the grounds,hospitality and home base. He also prepared one of the most incredible meals of our lives, with product all home made and seasoned from what he grows on his property. Highly recommend, and will be back!

Die schönste Aussicht ever!

Das Quartier liegt hoch über Cortona, die Zufahrt ist auf den letzten 800m sehr schmal, dafür wird man mit einer wunderbaren Aussicht belohnt. Gastgeber Luca ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Wohnung befindet sich im Obergeschoss eines wunderbaren Hauses mit eigenem Zugang von der Straße und eigenem Garten auf 2 Ebenen. Das Wohnzimmer mit Küche ist wunderbar, da es auf 3 Seiten Fenster hat. Die davorliegende Terrasse bot die schönste Aussicht meines Lebens, weit über das Tal und bis zum Trasimener See. Auf der oberen Gartenterrasse befindet sich ein Pool, nur ca. 5/2,5m groß, ca. 1,20m tief, aber mit herrlich kühlem Wasser und ebenfalls grandioser Aussicht. Die kleine Dependance mit Schlafzimmer, Wintergarten, kleiner Küche und Bad wurde von uns nicht genützt, da wir nur zu zweit unterwegs waren. Das Zentrum von Cortona mit den vielen Restaurants erreicht man zu Fuß in 15 min., allerdings ziemlich steil bergab. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die zum Teil gewöhnungsbedürftige Elektroinstallation. Abschließend: einer der schönsten Urlaube meines Lebens!

vue depuis la terrasse et la piscine exceptionnelle

points négatifs: -annonce non conforme car une des dépendances est transformée en buanderie et le lace vaisselle a disparu... -l'autre dépendance n'était pas prête à l'arrivée, ce qui a été corrigé dès le lendemain matin - problèmes récurrents de wi-fi points positifs: -la piscine n'est pas celle creusée dans la roche, mais celle disponible est mieux est très appréciable en vague de chaleur -le propriétaire est très réactif et a fait ce qu'il pouvait pour la wi-fi récalcitrante ainsi que pour 2 coupures d'électricité -vue imprenable à plus de 180 degrés sur la plaine depuis la terrasse et la piscine. - bon barbecue

Attention, piscine pas fidèle à l'annonce

La maison est jolie et idéalement placée, avec une superbe vue à 180 degrés sur la vallée depuis la terrasse. Le seul bémol est la piscine qui ne correspondait pas du tout à celle affichée et celle proposée laissait vraiment à désirer....La vaisselle était aussi assez rudimentaire.
