GUESTS' COMMENTS "Just wanted to say another thank you for a fantastic holiday - we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and did not want to come home. The layout and setting of the villa is wonderful with such easy access to Cortona and other towns and cities yet secluded enough for us to enjoy privacy too - certainly the best we've stayed in so far."
