This past September,2011, my friends and I visited Italy and stayed in this lovely, quaint, private villa. We absolutely loved the peacefull setting. After a long day of touring around Cortona, Florence and other areas, it was a delight to start up the road to the villa and see the lights of the veranda. The veranda. I spent my mornings on the veranda (overlooking Cortona) drinking my morning coffee and meditating. The villa is comfortable and adequate. Lovely furnishings. The grounds surrounding the villa are beautiful. We took many walks in the gardens. The owners were a delight to visit with and were quick to meet our requests. BEAUTIFUL VILLA IN BEAUTIFUL CORTONA!
