La Vista - Together in Tuscany

Lovely old Tuscan house with well-equipped interior. Big gated garden with three separate sitting areas, ample parking space and fantastic views. two bottles of Cortona wine on arrival with a few tasty treats were greatly appreciated. Fab location- 10 min daily hike uphill to Cortona centre was very good for the leg muscles!

just needed one sharp knife to cut bread🧐!

This is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Cortona and the surrounding areas. The house is convenient for a (steep) walk up to Cortona, but with plenty of space for parking a car. The house itself is stunning and decorated to a high standard, with excellent WIFI and air conditioning and everything you need for a home-away-from-home stay. We were greeted by the property management company close by, and then followed them down to the house, where everything was explained in good detail. The house is within a small community with a remote controlled gate so felt very safe. The view over the Tuscan/Umbrian countryside is simply breathtaking and we really enjoyed sitting out in the garden and just taking it all in.

There was nothing.

Without doubt the most outstanding feature of La Vista for us was the location - overlooking a private garden setting with superb hillside views extending from the lowers slopes of Cortona to distant Lake Trasimeno. A second distinctive feature was the unique and spacious character of the property, with today's 'mod cons' but preserving a traditional Tuscan style reflecting its origins as a small convent. A third plus was that, despite the peaceful surroundings, Cortona's lively Piazza della Repubblica was just a short (but steep) walk away.

The only slight frustration we had (as Oldies) related to the lack of bannisters on the two steep staircases. More comfortable seats in the 'lounge' area in the entrance hall would have encouraged us to use this rather than the kitchen/dining are for relaxation. Together in Tuscany were very helpful in resolving difficulties we experienced over accessing their offices and La Vista from/to Cortona train stations. We did not have a car and had learned beforehand that taxis can be hard to find in Cortona. Be prepared!

Surprise written all over our face. From the gate of the cottage garden past olive trees then to turn and see the view. WOW is not the word. There is no word for it. The property is just perfect. The kitchen is great, We we’re able to buy local produce down the hill (we had a car) and cook and eat either inside or out in the garden. Laundry down stairs in the basement along with another bathroom boasting a massive bath /spa with lighting to enhance the mood. Bedroom was quite and private. We used the ground floor one. The shutters on all window’s kept it dark and when all opened, so bright and warm,

There was nothing we did not like. There are two bedrooms. The master is amazing however if you are not good with stairs then maybe take the other one. Cortona is a hill side village and the walk into town is steep. We loved it and enjoyed the exercise.

There are amazing views from the house and the garden. The accomodation is nice and there is a beautiful garden which can be fully used especially during summer time. Also you can park a car there which is a great bonus.
