  • My wife, mother and I spent a week at the Roman Well apartment at the end of May 2008. The apartment was fantastic, with all the necessary amenities. Cortona is a fantastic town, and the apartment is right near the main street. Rosa was excellent to deal with, and Laura was there to meet us when we arrived. I would highly reccommend this apartment to anyone visiting Cortona - but stay at least one week!

  • My husband and I and daughter had a delightful time at The Roman Well. The apartment is superbly located and all of Cortona was at our footsteps. The apartment was clean, comfortable and charming! We can't recommend this highly enough and look forward to returning someday if the stock market ever gets better.

  • Our experience at the Roman Well Apartment was everything I wanted it to be. I was delighjted with Cortona and thrilled that the apartment turned out to be more than I ever expected. It was spacious, clean and very nicely decorated. It is so centralized to everything. It is within walking distance of buses, stores and resteraunts. Our experience was what I wanted Italy to be and I was not disapointed. The young lady, Laura, who met us in Cortona and took us to the apartment was a delightful experience. She is a very sweet girl.

  • Our family of four (our kids are 7 and 9) had a great time in Cortona at the Roman Well. Rosa has a wonderful apartment, in a perfect location. It is right off of the main street but was also very quiet. Everything was so pretty and thoughtfully planned out. The apartment is immaculate and beautifully decorated, with an amazing 2000 year old well! We enjoyed a day at the nearby municipal pool(incredible views all around), and had terrific meals in town. The town itself is a wonderful mix of stores and restaurants, without being too touristy. From Cortona we visited Arezzo, Assisi, Perugia, and Panicale. Rosa was lovely and helpful, providing ample information to enjoy our visit. We hope to return! Nicole and Paul Church

    "My husband and I, and two other friends of ours, have rented The Roman Well two times: in July of 2002 and in December of 2006. We have returned, and we are planning to return to this property again next year, because the apartment is very charming, comfortable, clean, well-furnished and very cozy. I like this property also because, being conveniently located in the center of Cortona, within minutes we are able to get to any of the local restaurants, galleries, stores, etc. Also, within a few minutes from the apartment we can take a bus to the nearby cities or the nearby train stations for Florence, Rome, Assisi, etc. This saves us the high expense of renting a car. We especially appreciate the fact that while vacationing in this property we feel right at home because of Laura, a young woman from Cortona who speaks English very well and meets us in Piazza when we arrive by taxi. She helps us to the apartment and during our vacation, she is always available to come and help us when we need her help. And the fact that she does not live right next door is very encouraging. We rented other properties in the past where the owner lived right above, or next door from the property they rent us, but that made us uncomfortable because, in a way we felt they were always there ready to tell us to be careful with their property. With this property we feel at home, yet free to enjoy the apartment our own way. We highly recommend staying at The Roman Well," Alba, NY.
