We truly hated to leave

Review Submitted: 08/14/11
My wife and I just completed spending 6 weeks in heaven. Our stay at Pat house was simply wonderful. The property is as stated. Nice living room-adequate kitchen-2 nice size and very comfortable bedrooms and a nice bathroom. The area that makes this a place you never want to leave is the veranda. The view is to die for and it is where we spent all of our time when we were home. Coffe in the morning-cocktails and dinner in the evening. Just can not beat it. Do not hesitate to rent out Pat house. It is better than advertised. Oh and by the way the owners-Roberto and Rebecca live right above so if you need anything they are right there. Oh and just as a bonus they are super folks

A magical getaway

Cortona and the apartment were the perfect antidote to our ambitious type-A travel craziness. A day off to see Rome. A day off to see Florence. Another for Sienna. Thankfully, we eventually gave in to the seductive call of the beautiful and comfortable apartment and spent some time sipping wine and nibbling cheese on that epic balcony overlooking the Tuscan countryside. What a phenomenal spot. The walk into Cortona for fresh bread in the morning. Albino, our eccentric cabbie. The outstanding wine dinner with our hosts, Roberto and Rebecca, who made our trip a visit with friends. Truly a trip of a lifetime. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the apartment to others because I want it available when we come back!

Our stay at Pat House was everything we hoped for & more! The house was lovely, comfortable, clean & looked exactly as pictured in the photos. The hosts (Roberto & Rebecca) were delightful: generous, friendly, relaxed, gracious. The scenery was stunning! And the house was just far enough from town to justify our gelato habit! We never ran out of interesting places to explore during our wonderful week in Cortona!

Amazing experience at Cortona

We had really a chance to rent this Villa because the owner gave us some good opportunities for wine tasting and met some nice people from Cortona, specially the family Molinesi at the Enoteca. The Villa was so charming,quiet and the view from the nice terrasse (patio) and the garden were amazing. We appreciated the little garden of wild herbs for the "cucina" and their cat "Phyllo" with their nice "miow, miow". we felt really like home there. We will recommend for sure this place.

Perfect Tuscany Rental

When you're sitting on the covered porch of Pat House, sipping on a glass of Chianti Classico while looking out on an airplane view of Tuscany, you'll realize you've chosen an ideal place to serve as your base for exploring Tuscany and Umbria. Roberto and Rebecca are great hosts and the apartment is very clean and well stocked. We found we had everything we needed for cooking on nights we just wanted to sit out and enjoy the view. We are experienced travelers and the week we spent there exceeded our expectation. We'd definately hope to return to Pat House in the future. If you stay there, don't miss a meal at Bucaccia in Cortona. We didn't have a better meal at any other resteraunt in Tuscany, Umbria or Rome. The dining area had real Tuscan charm plus the owner was a character and made us feel like family. Side note - if you are planning to explore Tuscany and Umbria by car definitely arrange for a GPS - it's worth every penny! Enjoy your stay.

Girlfriends' Getaway

We were a party of 4 who recently stayed at the PAT house. What a delightful experience! Roberto and his wife, Becky, were wonderful hosts, and were of invaluable help with information regarding trains, taxis and restaurant recommendations. The apartment lived up to the VRBO photos. Such fabulous views!! . We were very comfortable.The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. We ate in several nights and had everything we needed. The town of Cortona is a 10 minute walk up the hill. It is charming. We loved shopping in the local shops, and the local museum was fascinating. We would highly recommend this listing to friends and relatives. Bucaccia is a fabulous restaurant!

When we arrived at the Pat House we were amazed at the beauty of the setting and the warm greeting we received from the owners. It was all we had hoped for and more. Our expectations were met and exceeded in all ways. The photos that we had seen on VRBO were accurate and the property was in A1 shape! I would recommend this property to anyone who wanted to spend time in Tuscany. This was Tuscany at it's best! This was the Tuscany of Frances Mayes' and more. We could not have asked for better landlords than we had.

We stayed at this apartment for 3 days and wish we had stayed a week. It is clean, comfortable, and has outstanding views. Far enough from town to be peaceful, yet close enough (10-15 min walk) to go out to dinner, shop, or just wander the streets of this beautiful town. The owners live upstairs and are very friendly and accommodating.
