Toscanske Villa, Airco Privat pool Fantastisk udsigt, internet, bibliotek, grill
IdyllicTuscan ferievilla, oprindeligt bygget i det 15. århundrede, men kærligt restaureret i de sidste 10 år med udsigt over frodige grønne bølgende bakker inden for kort afstand af magisk Cortona, juvelen i den toscanske krone.
Startpakke!...Vi vil gerne have dig til at nyde Toscana fra det øjeblik du ankommer, så vi hjælper dig med at give dig nogle flasker rød og hvid vin, flaskevand, italiensk toast og nogle delikatesser! Salut..... god fornøjelse
Set i 30 hektar uspoleret nationalpark landskab i bakkerne over Cortona, indstillingen for Francis Mayes bog og film-Under den toscanske sol. Eksklusiv privat pool med storslåede haver og skyggefulde pergolaer. Huset har hele dagen solskin til sen aften og en fremragende adgangsvej. Tre store veludstyrede soveværelser og moderne badeværelser og tre skyggefulde pergolaer spredt omkring ejendommen. Fuldt moderne køkken med alle apparater. Bibliotek med 500/600 bøger. Sip et kølet glas Prosecco under vinstens pergola mens du nyder udsigten.
Hus og Indhold: Huset, der oprindeligt stammer fra det 15. århundrede, er blevet fuldstændig renoveret og nyindrettet af os i løbet af de sidste 7 år, og vi mener, at vi har givet huset en hjemlig toscansk stemning. Huset tilbyder et ekstremt højt niveau af komfort og stil, meget komfortable senge, førsteklasses sengetøj, udsøgte tæpper, veludstyret køkken, meget kraftfulde brusere og komfortable sofaer. Bibliotek med 500/600 bøger. 3 private pergolaer spredt rundt i haverne, som vil sikre, at du kan slappe af på egen hånd, når det er nødvendigt. Alle disse pergolaer har førsteklasses havemøbler. Huset ligger omgivet af frodige grønne bakker og rullende landskab og tilbyder uovertruffen privat og uforstyrret udsigt over landskabet. Huset ligger i et naturreservat, og der er mange eksempler på storslåede ørne, der flyver rundt i termalerne. Det er umuligt at opbygge nye huse i denne region, da regionale myndigheder ønsker, at dette område skal forblive som det var i hundreder af år. Bredbånds trådløs internetadgang til rådighed i hele huset - vi kæmpede mod at installere dette, men på grund af pres fra yngre familiemedlemmer ............ vi gav ind!
Vi har bestræbt os på at genopbygge huset sympatisk, på toskansk måde og samtidig give det 21. århundrede faciliteter. De fleste af husets indhold er håndlavet af højeste kvalitet af lokale toscanske håndværkere. Du vil finde de væsentligste ting som olivenolie, balsamicoeddike, sukker, saltpeper osv. Osv. I køkkenet. Du er velkommen til at bruge disse varer, og hvis du løber ud, skal du bare erstatte det, du har brugt, så den næste familie til at bruge huset kan benytte faciliteterne.
Eksklusiv brug af den private pool .: 12m x 6m pool sidder på kanten af en terrasse med udsigt over de toscanske bakker lige under huset. Området, mens det ligger meget tæt på huset, er privat. Der er en vinstens pergola i nærheden, hvor du og din fest kan nyde aftendrikke, der ser solnedgangen eller vælger druerne lige over hovedet. Puljen er til eksklusiv og privat brug af gæster under deres ophold i huset. Det har en solafdækning, der sikrer, at vandtemperaturen er meget behagelig og afslappende. Området omkring poolen er indhegnet og gated for at sikre småbørns sikkerhed. Der er en storslået professionelt anlagt have med udsigt over poolen med et farverigt udvalg af buske og blomster. Puljen og området omkring det kan tændes om natten, så du kan nyde en midnattsvømmetur, hvis du har lyst til det. Der er et stikkontakt på væggen, så du svømmer at lytte til din yndlingsmusik. Koldt brusebad ved poolen til nedkøling.
Dette område er også et fantastisk udsigtspunkt for at se solen stå op om morgenen og se himlen oplyst med farverne, der kun ses i Toscana - inspireres som renæssancemalerne!
Steder af interesse: Le Celle - ca. 1 km uden for Cortona, mens du kører mod vores hus, er der en lille vej til venstre, der er skiltet til Le Celle. Le Celle er et gammelt (stadig fungerende) franciskanske kloster, der ser ud til at være udskåret ud af bjerget. Det er et sted for ro, enkelhed og skønhed, og hvis du kan spare en time eller så for at udforske det, vil du opleve fred og ro selv. St. Francis gik igennem her på vej til Assisi og grundlagde klosteret. Der er en lille celle hvor han sov og bad og ved at se dette vil du sætte pris på, hvad et simpelt ukompliceret liv han ledte. Der er en bog i biblioteket, der giver klostrets historie. Der er tjenester der om søndag morgen, og selvom du ikke er katolsk, føler du dig velkommen på dette hellige sted.
Cortona: Cortona er et vidunderligt magisk lille sted, smalle snoede gader, fuld af restauranter, Trattoria og butikker og et enormt imponerende etruskisk museum, som absolut er et besøg værd. Der er normalt open air koncerter om sommeren på Piazza Signorelli (opkaldt efter en berømt renæssance maler, der blev født i Cortona) - alt fra et jazz / blues band til Carabinieri bandet gør deres ting til operatiske festivaler. Commune di Cortona sætter musik / kunst / vinsmagning / vingård på besøg festivaler hvert år - de fleste af disse er gratis - oplysninger tilgængelige fra turistkontoret beliggende lige inden for MAEC museums indgangen i Piazza Signorelli. Cortona antikviteter fair hver september. Giostra del Saracino også i nærliggende Arezzo hver september. Faktisk har næsten alle landsbyer og byer i området deres egen Festa i juni / juli / august og september. Fuld detaljer om alle disse Festas er tilgængelige fra Tourist.
Søen trasimeno: Beliggende syd for Cortona i provinsen Umbrien er dette den 4. største sø i Italien og var stedet for et berømt slag mellem den carthiginske hær af Hannibal og de romerske legioner i og omkring 200 f.Kr. Hannibal besejrede en meget større romersk hær på bredden af denne sø under hans berømte kampagne med elefanterne. Masser af bøger om dette i biblioteket! På bredden af søen er der en lille by, Castiglion del Lago. Vidunderlige små restauranter med speciale i umbrisk mad og vin og med særlig vægt på fiskeretter.
Alle de berømte toscanske byer som Firenze, Cortona, Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano, Montepulciano er inden for rækkevidde af huset.
Shopping: Der er et fremragende Coop supermarked i Camucia, den nye by lige under Cortona - åben hele dagen. Du vil være i stand til at gøre al din købmand her. Ud over et stort udvalg af dagligvarer og grøntsager er der en fabelagtig kødtæller, deli tæller og frisk fisketæller. De lager et meget godt udvalg af vin, øl og flasker Prosecco til vinkøleren start på omkring € 3. 00. Der er også en off-licens kendt lokalt som det gule hus eller Casa Gialla - ja det er malet gul! Dette er lige udenfor Camucia, mens du kører mod Terontola, på venstre side af vejen forbi den sidste rundkørsel. De sælger et meget godt udvalg af førsteklasses vine, og hvis du ikke føler, at ilke bruger mange penge, kan du købe gode lokalt producerede boksvin der. Cortona Shopping: Molesini er i Piazza Republica - Den største piazza i Cortona - Hvis du ikke føler dig ilke, har en stor butik Molesini et godt udvalg af oste, kød, salami og dagligvarer mv. De vil lave en panini for dig på stedet med hvad du vil have i det. På tværs af vejen ejer familien Molesini også en off-licens med et meget godt udvalg af vine.
Pasta Fresca - Cortona - kun 100 meter til højre inde i Porta Colonnia - denne dame gør hjemmelavet pasta til at dø for - hjemmelavet lasagne og alle slags italienske saucer. I år åbner hun også en Rosticceria i samme butik, så hvis du vil have en saftig stegt kylling, er dette stedet at gå. Telefonnumre er i vejledningen i huset.
Lokale Shopping: Der er en lille butik i Portole kun 3 km væk fra huset ved siden af Albergo Ristorante Portole, hvor du kan få det væsentlige, hvis du løber tør. Dette køres i sommermåneder af hotellets ejere mor, der kommer op fra Firenze hvert år for at få luften. Har en Capuchino og en Panino ved bordene udenfor med en storslået udsigt ud mod søen Trasimeno.
Markeder: Camucia-markedet afholdes hver torsdag fra kl. 08.00 til 1.00. Almindelig italiensk billetpris, alt fra en nål til en rotator! Få en porchetta panini lavet til dig selv ved en af de mange boder. Porchetta er en toskansk glæde - en hel gris er spyttet ristet, fyldt med masser af urter. Mund vanding!
Restauranter: Cortona er fuld af dejlige restauranter - der er en komplet vejledning til de fleste af dem i huset. Børn er velkomne på alle restauranter. Bedst at bestille på forhånd i juli og august for ikke at blive skuffet.
Albergo Ristorante Portole kun 3 km fra huset har også en udendørs terrasse til spisning i sommermånederne
Vi har mange andre brikker og informationer om huset, det område, som vi har sammensat i løbet af de sidste 10 år, som vi gerne vil dele med dig.

It really made for a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Thank you to Luisa for the delicious crostata's and Emma for making this beautiful home available.

Thank you so much for your kind words. In the past several guests have referred to the house as a "healing house" and maybe as we are surrounded by nature at its best, it is true!

Stunning Italian Country Retreat
The villa is a lovely place to stay, with the most stunning views and tranquil setting. We really enjoyed being by the pool, sitting outside in the evenings and dinners around the farmhouse kitchen table. The house stays cool even in hot weather and the pool was one of the best we have had. Emma is a great host who is easy to communicate with and everything ran smoothly. We really want to go back one day.

Villa Gioia is a lovely place to stay for a family or small group of friends. It has fabulous outside space, great location and well laid out interior giving the feeling of a much larger villa. It’s very well equipped for cooking and outside entertaining. Also excellent value for money for this prestigious area.

The location of the house, looking on to snow capped mountains in winter and verdant oak forests in summer, with all round sun every day was one of the reasons we bought the house many years ago, and every year we make it more and more homely so that people can truly chill out and leave the 21st Century stresses behind them for at least a few weeks.
Thank you again for your review.

excellent pool and gardens with wonderful, panoramic views
Lovely villa which is well-equipped which is particularly suitable for two couples. Garden and pool are exceptionally good with well-planted terraces overlooking a stunning panorama. The pool is lovely with a very effective solar cover which ensured the temperature of the water was very pleasant. Very quiet and peaceful and ideal for those looking for complete peace. The owner`s brother was very helpful with suggestions for good local restaurants, trips etc. Well-placed for trips to Florence and Siena. Cortona is a delight with much to explore with the added benefit of being a very scenic drive from the villa.

Beautiful, tranquil villa in a lovely area
We had a fantastic week in this lovely villa. It really does have everything you could possibly need - a real home from home. Lots of lovely spaces inside and out to enjoy. We loved sitting out in the evenings having dinner and we’re lucky to be there during the Perseus meteor shower and saw lots of shooting stars in the clear skys. We also ate out in the lovely town of Cortona - la buccia with beautifully presented food and a couple of more casual restaurants which were also excellent. The local coop was very well stocked so we shopped there on our way back from days out. Lake Trasimeno is worth a visit with some nice towns around the lake and some beach Ed’s with canoes and paddle boards for hire. After a week in a hectic campsite by the coast this was a perfect retreat and a home that is clearly loved and cared for by the owners.

Peace and quiet in the Tuscan hills
This property is somewhat remote, approximately 15-20 minutes outside Cortona. The drive is worth it for the spectacular views. The property has several outdoor areas in a beautifully maintained private hillside setting. The house is warm and welcoming and invites the outside in. The upstairs bedroom uses the bathroom on the main floor, but the stairs are well worth it because it opens to a lovely private terrace where you can watch the sun come up. The other bedroom that we used is on the same level as the dining room, kitchen and living room, and there is a full bathroom just outside the door. We visited several nearby towns, but spent two full days enjoying the swimming pool and relaxing.

Beautiful setting for a family get together
If you want a perfect example of a quintessential Tuscan Villa them this is it! High in the hills above Cortona, the gentle breeze together with the beautiful surroundings were a welcome relief after hot August days exploring surrounding Tuscany. The villa is spacious and has absolutely everything you might need from a washing machine and dishwasher to the most amazing wall mounted bottle opener! There are lots of spaces to take yourself off to inside and out if you are feeling like a bit of solitude and equally there are shady terraces perfect for socialising, which we did plenty of! If you are after an impersonal slick villa this is not the place for you. However if you want a charming home full of beautiful things this is it!

That bottle opener you referred to was given to us by an engineer friend who designed and made it but never took it any further.We have used it on many occasions and it has never failed to open a bottle!!

Not too good
The garden, pool and exterior were nice but the interior is outdated. Too much pots&pans, paintings, accessories. We didn't feel at ease because of that. Couches with blankets, rugs etc. This kind of stuff makes the rooms dusty. Cleaning must be better (dust and spider webs, it attracts mosquito’s). The beds were good. Only two rooms do have airco. The fourth room is a vide above the kitchen and too hot to sleep.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We're glad you enjoyed the garden, pool, exterior and bedrooms.
It's unfair to give such a low star review for the property because of pots, pans and rugs. The interior design of the house is visible in the many photos we provide and what you see is what you get: a beautiful, Tuscan style property with paintings, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped kitchen for which we have received many compliments.
The property is advertised as a three bedroom house. The "fourth room" you reference is in fact a mezzanine floor above the kitchen and it's not advertised as a room. This area is used for storage so it's unfair to review it as a room.
Cleaning is done to a high standard before and after every rental. Our cleaner lives locally and is available to visit during rental periods to help with any issues.

Fantastic stay a Villa Gaoia
A warm and welcoming home in the mountains above Cortona has everything one could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable, the house was immaculately clean which is very important to us. There was a lovely welcome basket of goodies and a book of "things to know", house rules and suggestions on dining, shopping, site seeing which was very, very helpful. There is a lovely family that maintains the house - Karolina, the lovely daughter speaks excellent English and she is a delight. Her mom is an excellent cook as we decided to have her cook for us one evening. Karolina's dad helped get the heat on in the house as we were there very early in the season and it was quite cool. The views and the gardens are breathtaking. The bedrooms are spaced enough apart for privacy which was lovely. The kitchen had every type of bowl, appliance and kitchen utensil we could possibly need. All is in all it was a wonderful accommodation for 2 couples or a large family! The only thing we do want to mention is the roads to the house are extremely windy and slow going.You need to be prepared for this drive. It took a good 20 min. to get down to the town of Cortona. The address does not work on our WAZE GPS so it was a bit difficult to find but the hosts couldn't have been nicer to guiding us via phone. We would highly recommend your staying here! Peaceful and great for families with children. Lovely, Lovely, Lovely!

The kitchen is the heart of the house and as you commented there are every conceivable type of pots and pans to help you enjoy the Tuscan cooking experience.
I must admit that when we found out that the house was being rented by a top NYC interior designer we held our breath but we are glad it surpassed your expectations!
Many thanks agin for your wonderful review.

Sehr schönes, ruhig gelegenes Ferienhaus
Schönes Haus mit vielen tollen Sitzgelegenheiten und einer atemberaubenden Aussicht. Für Urlauber, die entspannen möchten und Ruhe suchen, perfekt. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants sind in ca. 20-Minütiger Autofahrt erreichbar. Dies war aber bekannt. Eine Grundreinigung bzw. nach Mieterwechsel eine Entfernung der massenhaft vorhandenen Spinnweben wäre angebracht. Pool und Gartenanlage war perfekt.
Einziger Nachteil, der uns etwas gestört hat, waren die Skorpione im Haus. Aber das ist der Preis der unbescholtenen Natur und Abgelegenheit.

Sommerferien in der Berg Idylle
Wunderschönes Anwesen, sehr gepflegt und absolut ruhig gelegen. Eignet sich wunderbar um aus dem Alltag zu entfliehen. Wer mehr Aktion will sollte zentraler buchen. Wir haben viel am Pool entspannt und Tagesausflüge geplant und durchgeführt.
Würden jederzeit wieder gehen.
Vielen lieben Dank für die schöne Zeit

Ruhig gelegenes Urlaubsdomizil in wunderschöner Natur
Wir haben eine ruhig gelegene Unterkunft gesucht, abseits von touristischem Trubel, und haben dies hier vorgefunden. Der Garten ist herrlich angelegt und der Duft von Lavendel, Rosmarin und Pinien war einfach wunderbar. Die vielen Schmetterlinge scheinen sich an diesem Ort auch wohlzufühlen.
Wir haben gern in der urigen und gut ausgestatteten Küche gekocht und haben uns sonst hauptsächlich draußen am Pool oder unter der Pergola, mit atemberaubenden Ausblick auf die hügelige Umgebung, aufgehalten. Der Pool ist einfach traumhaft und eine willkommene Erfrischung bei heißen Temperaturen.
Die Begegnung mit den in der Toskana vorkommenden kleinen Skorpione fanden die Kinder befremdlich, die Geckos hingegen fanden sie niedlich.
Schön wären gemütlichere Sitzauflagen für die Stühle.
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt und haben uns im Großen und Ganzen wohl gefühlt.
Vielen Dank für die reibungslose Abwicklung.

Idyllisches Landhaus
Wer einen abgelegenes Plätzchen sucht und akzeptiert, dass der nächste Supermarkt, Bäcker etc. ca 20 Autominuten entfernt ist, wird hier glücklich. Die Realität sieht mindestens genauso schön aus wie die Fotos - tolles Anwesen mit großem gepflegtem Pool. Danke an Luca für die freundliche Begrüßung und die "24-7 WhatsApp Service-Hotline"!
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt.

one of the best holidays we had
We enjoyed 14 wonderfiul days in Villa Gioa.
A place of peace and time to rest.
We will definitely be back, because relaxation and tranquility is possible without any restrictions.
Beautiful Cortona, with great bars and restaurants.
To enjoy it is also just the right place.
We love this house and the beautiful garden, the breathtaking views and nature and look forward to being back in summer of 2019.
Thank you so much!!!!

Dorle, Daniel and family,and dog Berta!
Thank you for your wonderful review of your stay in our house.
We are delighted that you enjoyed your vacation and that you have also booked it for 2019!
Delighted also that you Dorle with your love of horses have found a local stable for you to go trail riding next year.
We are very privileged to own this house and land in a beautiful location looking onto the mountains of the National Park.
Over the years we have christened this house 'the healing house' as the peace and tranquility seems to peel away the stress that affects us all in this sometimes mad world we live in!
We will be making a few improvements over
the winter as we mostly always do so that will be the surprise in store for you in 2019!

Our holiday in Tuscany
Its all as it says " On the Tin !
Relaxing ; peaceful ; wonderful views ; great pool.
With all the facilities you could ask for.
Occasionally the odd shower or grey cloud to remind us of back home , but normally blue skies & sunshine to while away the days.
Plus the hordes of beautiful butterflies ; the well laid out shrubs & aromatic herbs , and especially the early morning visits from the bounding hare.

Delightful villa in thr Tuscan hills.
We stayed here for 2 weeks as a treat for our twins finishing university. The villa itself was a delight, in a beautiful setting. The villa is very well equipped.We loved sitting out in the evenings, watching the fire flies and listening out for the wild boar below. We ate out both at the Hotel in Portole as well as nearby pizzeria which we preferred as they do a lot more than pizza's. Highlights for us included Sienna, Montepulciano, Cortona and a trip to Leuter winery. The drive up/down to Campucia gets very tedious so the key is to call in to the supermarket on the way back from a day out.

Wonderful Hilltop Villa
Classically constructed with huge ceiling beams and thick stucco walls, the villa is multi-level. It is fully stocked and equipped, from a great kitchen with country-kitchen dining table (the heart of the villa), to hundreds of DVDs, books and many games. The pool is very nice and the exterior is beautifully landscaped and maintained. The views of the valleys below are tremendous with a number of outdoor seating areas to enjoy. The villa is private and quiet, laying 16 kilometers outside of Cortona along a scenic ridge-top road, about a 20 minute drive along the many switchbacks. The nearest grocery stores with convenient parking are in Camucia, about 30 minutes away.
There is a washing machine with outside clothes lines for use. Three of the bedrooms are up or down a flight of stairs, a drawback for those for whom steps pose some difficulties. Only one bedroom has a bathroom adjacent to it. And for extended stays, there is little available storage space for unpacking clothes, etc. The owner is gracious and helpful, responding to any needs very quickly.
With those minor considerations, our stay was wonderful and the Cortona-Camucia area is terrific as a vacation area and hub from which to travel (often by train) to different areas. We went as far as Rome and Venice from there as day trips.

Pretty villa with great pool and facilities
Villa Goia is a wonderful setting, a dramatic view of the Tuscan hills and very close to beautiful, busy Cortona. Arrangements were excellent and the house is very well organised with everything you could want. We had a lovely, relaxing holiday with our family and would love to return there. Sarah

A fabulous place in a fabulous part of Italy..
We had the pleasure this summer of staying for two weeks in Villa Gioia located in the hills above Cortona in Tuscany. It was our first visit to this part of the world and certainly won’t be the last as we have much more to see.
The house is perfect and provided a home from home which we all enjoyed : Lovely views from the various terraces which enabled us to take in the wonderful scenery over a glass of red, the gardens are a delight, full of butterflies with rosemary, sage, fennel, thyme and lavender giving off an intoxicating smell, a wonderful swimming pool which provided a welcome respite from the summer sun and the house itself is so well equipped, full of information and very comfortable so we wanted for nothing. The pictures on the website look great but the real thing is even better ! Luca is close on hand to provide good advice and insights on the area including where to park and the best local trattorias..
We were able to visit some of the places on our list, Perugia and Assisi in Umbria, Montepulciano, Sienna, San Griminagno among the villages in the Tuscan hills we visited but for much of the time we enjoyed taking in the wonderful scenery in the area as well as the fantastic food ( porchetta paninis are something else ..). Our Tuscan experience was something we won’t ever forget.
We would certainly recommend Villa Gioia to anyone who is looking for a luxurious place to stay whilst discovering this wonderful area and we hope to return to discover and experience more some day

Thank you Nick - so glad you and your family really enjoyed your holiday.It is often the case that guests who stay at the house are reluctant to leave it to do the sightseeing tours because it is so relaxing there. When we bought and renovated the house many years ago the first number of guests who stayed there referred to it as a healing house probably a reference to a place where one can relax after a hectically busy business year or after some emotional upset - who knows?
We are very much in tune with the surroundings and are compulsive gardeners. We keep threatening to relax by the pool someday ourselves!
Om værten
Vært: Villa Gioia
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
This property was in a very sad state when we bought it in 2003. One of the redeeming features was the breathtaking views over the mountains towards Umbria. Look over that direction in the morning or at the setting of the sun and you will be in no doubt why the great renaissance painters chose Tuscany as their location. The colours are simply stunning. The view is constantly changing before your eyes. A truly amazing place.
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
15 minutes drive from Cortona, the jewel in the Tuscan crown...a magical place with little winding streets where the locals go about their business. The house itself is perched on the side of a hill, the pool is slightly below the house, overlooked by magnificent gardens full of Rosemary, lavender and a host of local shrubs. Below the pool the terrace is covered in Rosemary and Lavender. Below that is our Olive grove where we go to each October/November to bring our produce to the Oil mill and come back with litres of liquid gold. We normally leave a litre for our guests to sprinkle over their salads. Former guests have labelled this house 'the healing house' as the location seems to pull the anxiety and stress from you. Looking out across the hills you could imagine being back in Roman times.... a few houses scattered here and there.....because we are located in a National Park no new houses have been built here in 100 years and will not be allowed at any time in the future.
