The villa was spectacular. From the beautiful flowers to the refreshing pool. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfy and everything was clean. Lots of room for us to spread out. The location was perfect for lots of day trip. Our grandkids could hardly wait to get “home” to swim daily. Thank you once again.

Exactly what we were looking for!

My family of four (11 and 14 year old girls) had the best four nights at this villa. The house itself was so charming and well stocked, the grounds beautiful and well maintained, and the pool and welcome retreat each day after exploring the surrounding towns. We didn’t even touch the extra apartment with two additional bedrooms! Highly recommend!

Wow!!!. I wish there was some way to rate this property with more than 5 stars. Everything was exceptional! The restored centuries-old farmhouse was incredibly beautiful and comfortable. Very well apportioned. The grounds were private and engaging. The location (just minutes’ drive from the historical Cortona city center) was ideal. The hosts were charming and communicative - struck a perfect balance between being available and responsive, yet respectful of our privacy. Thank you Stefania and Luigi!!!Best VRBO rental for us by far (20 years of rental experience)!

We (3 adults and 4 children) have spent wonderful summer holidays at Villa Stefania. All our expectations have been exceeded. Beautiful, spacious, well-equipped and very tidy villa. And most importantly, Stefania and Luigi are absolutely loveable hosts/landlords. We would always come back if possible! (Camilla and Markus from London)

Beautiful and spacious countryhouse/ amazing swimming pool

Great property with beautiful views on Cortona. The owners were very kind and very responsive. The swimming pool is very large and our kids spent an enourmous amount of time there. The kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms are spacious and well decorated with aircon much appreciated in summer. We had some issues with water pressure in one of the houses, but the owners were about to change the boiler and fix the issue. Highly recommended for two/three families.

Nice villa with private pool, close to Cortona

We are a family of 5 that rented this house for 9 days. Everything from arrival to check out worked very well. This house has a secluded swimming pool area, functional kitchen and a dining area inside and outside. Air condition is also installed in every room, which is almost a must have during the summer months. However as in most homes not everything will be 100% new or perfect, but since the total experience was good this did not affect the stay in any negative way. The owner is quick to respond and takes action if needed. We enjoyed every day in this fantastic place. We would for sure return if we get the chance.

YES! Great place for a family gathering

We stayed at this villa for a month. We had our family of 9 people here for 10 days. The layout with 2 separate apartments was perfect for our group. We had great weather during our stay and so we used the pool (unheated) frequently. The kitchen has all the utensils you will need for cooking, and some spices too. The owners were very responsive to any issues that came up. This is a rustic typical Tuscan villa. It could use additional comfortable seating inside, and it would be great if there was a smart TV in case you want a night in to watch a movie. Fabulous location! Wonderful view of Cortona. You definitely need a car if you are staying here. So much to do and see in the area.

Beautiful Villa in Wonderful Location

This house and adjacent apartment was perfect for a larger group. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. The property was lovely and has a spectacular pool. A few things to note. The house name is not a location on a map and if you use an app like Google then you must use the name on the wall outside the property. The hot water takes a very long time to get to the upper floor shower and it’s almost impossible to fill a hot bath. That’s to be expected in a house of this age and it’s well worth that little inconvenience.

Fantastic property, fantastic hosts!

Firstly, the property was absolutely perfect. It was big, all air conditioned (when it’s so hot outside it needs to be) and really felt like a home from home. All the bedrooms are big and the shutters make it super dark at nighttime for sensitive sleepers. It had everything that we needed and more, with lots of different areas to sit and relax. The pool was beautiful, larger than I was expecting and a great infinity effect as you look over at Cortona. The location was great. Close enough to Cortona and shops etc to feel connected, but not too close so that you still felt lovely peace and quiet of being in the countryside. Lots of walks to go on from the house and lots of other towns to visit in the area. We loved it. And finally Stefania and Luigi were fantastic hosts. No fuss or bother at all, and they were always available to help. They couldn’t have done more for us and their friendliness was great! Would definitely return, thank you!

Beautiful restored villa

We had a wonderful time at the villa. You cannot beat the location. It is 5 minutes by car to the town of Cortona, which ended up feeling like a home away from home. Stefania and Luigi were very welcoming. They went out of their way to show us how things worked, even when we bothered them a few times! Stefania greeted us 2 mornings with delicious pastries and was kind enough to provide some gluten free products for my sister and I. She also drove our luggage to the train station when it was time to leave, which was a huge help. Thank you Stefania and Luigi. I cannot say enough about Cortona, the friendly people and the fantastic food. We were lucky enough to be there during the town's festival week too. The villa is also centrally located to so many other quaint towns. Close to Florence and Rome by train. We drove to some towns and booked tours with Francisco from Toursintuscany.com who was wonderful. We miss Cortona and hope to return some day.

Wonderful stay

We had a delightful seven nights day at the end of July 2023. There were two families which worked out perfectly with the two sleeping arrangements. There is the main villa and the Annex (one double and a twin room). The whole villa is prepared to a very high standard. This includes copious amounts of towels and accessories that you will need during your stay. There kitchen was extremely well stocked and had enough cutlery and plates for everyone and more! The COOP was a 5 min drive away and Cortona a 10 min drive. Unfortunately nothing was walkable. The hosts were extremely contactable and left a wonderful surprise for us one breakfast-yummy pastries. The pool was huge and so immaculately clean, the kids and adults, a like, spend the majority of the time in there. We went to Rome for a day trip and Luigi gave us detailed instructions for the train trip and where to go. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect Tuscan villa!

From the moment we arrived at Villa Stefania, we adored this property. This villa is a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the world. The view of Cortona from the pool and several windows is breathtaking....from sunrise to sunset. The pool is gorgeous and such an oasis of tranquility at the end of a day of travel. Stefania and Luigi were wonderful hosts. They greeted us on arrival and as we departed. Stefania brought delicious pastries one morning for our group of 10. We had two families of 5 and had plenty of space, never felt crowded. It was so nice to have a washing machine and fully stocked kitchen. Cortona is a beautiful town with many good restaurants, shops, and history...only a 10 minute drive. This location was also ideal for many day trips by car. We were able to visit Siena, Assisi, Montepulciano, and Florence (by train). This villa was everything we hoped for and more. Villa Stefania is a beautiful, picturesque and charming vacation home! Perfect! Grazie Mille!

Heavenly time in Cortona, Italy at Villa Stefania

Lounging poolside from the lovely and charming Villa Stefania, we would gaze at the mountainside town of Cortona - with local wine in hand - lost in absolute beauty. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed a magical trip with our adult children (and grandchild) for a week at Stefania and Luigi's multi-centuries-old Tuscan farmhouse. They have the villa in impeccably clean condition with thoughtful creative touches throughout the place. It is large with the 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. Roam around the olive trees in back, inspect the vines, view all the herbs and gardens that surround the place. And by all means plan some time at the pool to absorb the stunning beauty of the estate and surrounding mountain views. You will also find Cortona to be a very charming town nearby. You have to visit its many landmarks including Fra Angelico frescoes and Signorelli paintings. Stefania and Luigi are also very gracious hosts and we were treated to sumptuous tiramisu one evening to the delight of us all. Stefania even drove one of our remaining kids to the local train station as the rest of us had to leave much earlier for a Rome flight departure. If you are looking for a comfortable yet otherworldly experience that will touch your soul, I highly recommend this villa! Salute!

The Perfect Getaway in Tuscany

Where to even begin? We loved everything about our stay. Stefania was wonderful, and responsive to our many questions before we even arrived. Upon arrival, it felt like a dream. The Villa is beautiful, private, and expansive. The property is huge, with lots of olive trees, fig trees, and places for the kids to play and explore. And not to mention the stunning pool, which overlooks the most incredible views of Cortona. We were pleased to find a ping pong table, and just absolutely loved the pool (especially in the August heat!). The Villa is only a few minutes from Cortona by car, and a few minutes drive to Coop for groceries. The Villa itself has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay and quickly felt like home. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are comfortable, the showers have great water pressure, and there are plenty of towels. And Stefania set us up with wonderful chefs to come and cook for us a few days–and they even did a cooking class for the kids. The apartment was a huge plus for us as well, giving our parents a place to stay and plenty of privacy with their own bedroom and kitchen. Grateful to have found such a wonderful Villa. It truly felt surreal. The perfect combination of rustic Tuscany countryside with the modern amenities to have a comfortable, relaxing stay where you can disconnect and unwind. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you, Stefania!

The most amazing week of my life!

We spent a week at Villa Stefania (1 & 2) with our families, 7 adults and 4 kids ages 3-14. The property is perfectly situated in the hills across from the beautiful village of Cortona. It is a perfect location for a home base while exploring the beauty of Tuscany. We spent our days in the surrounding areas, whether walking through the hilly, picturesque streets of Cortona or taking the train from the easily accessible Camucia into Florence, and our evenings cooking meals for our family in the well-equipped kitchen. We were ecstatic to see that the dining table fit us all perfectly! While we were too late in the season to enjoy the swimming pool, it was still beautiful enough out to grab a book to read poolside and enjoy just being on the well-kept grounds. Luigi and Stefania were fantastic hosts. Luigi even came down from the house to lead us back up on the first night since we got there well after dark. We saw them a few times throughout the week as they were harvesting the olives from the trees (thank you so much for the AMAZING first press oil!). When we arrived, we were greeted by a bottle of Chianti and a wonderful recommendation for local pizza. The house is huge and charming. We spent hours sitting outside drinking wine and letting our children play on the grounds. Our daughter keeps asking to go back to the "Italy House": I look forward to the day that I can say "ok!" This was truly the most memorable trip of our lives.

Amazing Time at Villa Stefania!!

We spent two weeks at Villa stefania with 4 adults and 6 kids ages 11 and under, and it was magical. The villa is located just below the town of Cortona, about a 10 minute drive but very accessible to grocery shopping and we went into Cortona about once a day. The pool was lovely with an amazing view of Cortona up on the hillside. The bedrooms were all beautifully furnished and the house has the lovely tuscan character you would hope for. The house is separated into two separate apartments. Our children stayed in the lower apartment and the adults stayed in the upper with the two smallest children. Both apartments have living spaces, laundry, and kitchens. The property is fully fenced and gated and felt very safe. The house was fully equipped with everything you would need and had a variety of dishes, pots and pans, and even spices to use. Stefania and Luigi were both very responsive before we arrived, when we checked in, and also when we had questions or any small issues at the house they responded immediately. Stefania also arranged for a cook to come the evening of our arrival and for two babysitters to watched the children while we went to dinner in Cortona. They were lovely and the kids really enjoyed them. The home was very comfortable. Two of the adults were working remotely and the internet worked fine for them. Would like to thank Stefania and Luigi for such a wonderful time. They are lovely people!
