La Vista - Together in Tuscany

The view over the Tuscan plain to the lake and hills in the distance was wonderful. Beds were comfortable and the place felt homely.

We didn’t use the cooking facilities so can’t comment. The Spa bath had no instructions so we couldn’t work out how to get to get water hot enough to use it. The TV was missing its remote.

Incredible views over the valley. Best of both worlds - quiet and beautiful spacious gardens, but close to city gates, short walk to Piazza Repubblica. An amazing historic home. Warm, cosy, lovely spaces within the house with stone walls and windows framing gorgeous vistas. Comfortable beds, spacious bedrooms. Cute bathrooms with pretty tiles. Useable kitchen, authentic and plenty of equipment. The hosts left olive oil, salt, etc. for our use which was lovely.

We loved it all.

Beautiful, quirky, typical Tuscan style home. Beautiful views.

There was nothing we didn’t like

This beautiful villa is very close to the city walls . Be prepared to walk uphill a lot to visit Cortona but the experience at the top is so worth it. This property has every modern convenience and the views of the countryside are spectacular. You will enjoy your vacation here !

Staying at this property was a dream holiday. We had the whole villa, complete with our own olive grove in the garden, a pomegranate tree and various herbs. The views from the garden looking over the valley was simply spectacular! The two bathrooms must have been designed by an artiste as they were gorgeous, one with a stylish huge bath. The villa is comfortable, beautiful, clean, and the location could not be better. We were just minutes walk to the charming cobbled streets and piazzas of Cortona. Our best moments were sitting out in the garden, having an apéritivo or breakfast, enjoying the incomparable views, and listening to the church bells ringing. We would love to stay there again.

Garden the view the location, comfortable bed

Needs bread knife,frying pan and maybe a gate across the top of the stairs to the lower ground bathroom.

The location was fabulous with breath-taking views. The house is just outside the walls of Cortana, either a walkable ( uphill) or easy drive (to an easier walk) into the town. Also easy drive to Assisi and other towns nearby. The bedrooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. If you read the description carefully, you’ll realize that one bedroom is on the main floor with a full bath that is also on the main floor but in the front hall. The second bedroom is up 13 steep steps, fine for us but difficult for those with small children or with disabilities. The second bathroom is in what we would call the basement—again down steep steps. It has a very big, deep tub and a handheld spray if you don’t want to run a full bath. Kitchen was decently stocked—no microwave but a decent coffee maker. Smallest dishwasher we’ve ever seen tucked under the sink.

If you are driving a car, the turn to the house is extraordinarily narrow! We found that turning a “street” before was easier and then taking a hairpin turn to get to the house was easier than turning on the correct street. Once there, the parking was great.
