How can I begin to describe the most magical place, Casa a Corte? First, after a very short stay, 6 nights, we all realized it wasn’t enough time and we didn’t want to leave. There is so much to see and the property is a perfect location for many day trips: Lucca, San Gimignano, Pisa, Cinque Terre to only list a few. You enter the property surrounded by green rolling hills, orchards, olive groves and of course vineyards. We can’t forget the pool which we spent our evenings enjoying. We spent our time outside on the many patios with comfortable seating or just lounging next to the pool. The evenings were filled with a glass of wine out on the patio with family. It was perfect. Hugh, our host was fabulous. Providing every detail we needed for the property which included the history, hikes, short walks, and the fabulous chef, Fabrizio! Fabrizio is a must, he is a wonderful chef and became a friend to our family. Back to Hugh, anything you needed he was only an email away and he replied straight away. He kept us in the loop on local farmers markets, wine shopping, restaurants to visit,,,etc. Everything was perfect and wonderful. Thank you Hugh!
PS, My recommendation, follow Hugh's direction to the villa. Once you get to the last picture he provides, keep heading on that road (it looks like a path, but it is a road), keep going you will see the house on the right! Place a pin on your location in case you need to share it will any drivers.
