From downtown city location of Villa to location far from everything

HomeAway stated Villa was located downtown in charming Cortona but 2 days before arriving the voucher and driving directions showed us that the Villa was located 23 min. by car to Cortona so goodbye dining out everyday day enjoying wine and hello cooking every meal for 14 people. The kitchens for a Villa for 14 people was hilarious, poor cutlery, no bowls, most of the kitchenware didn’t work and dishwasher and washing machine took 3 hours and was from ancient time. The Villa owner only spoke Italien and impossible to communicate with, HomeAway and their contractor Emma Villa is several days answering mails and complaints. Broken glass on grass where 5 children walked daily, some beds impossible to sleep in, Mosqito net in window was broken, the house constantly smelled of toilet in garden and sometimes also in the living room, the closets smelled old and the house needed fresh air, electrical in wall started to smell burnt and I could continue. We tried to ignore all this and make it a great Holiday but the price for the Villa should be at least 50% lower to match the realistic.

Dear Mrs Gravesen, regarding the location of the villa, we would like to inform you that we checked the advertisement on Home Away and we had the confirmation that the indication about the distance from Cortona is written under the section 'location' subsection 'attractions within 100 km'. If you have a closer look at that part, you'll see that Cortona is located at 13 km from the villa. As we told you, althought the villa is advertised on Home Away, our website is the main source of information as Emma Villas is the property manager. In order to prevent any misunderstanding or misinformation, you may find this sentence at the end of the house description: (We remind that the herein contained information and any possible updates are to be attested by the Property Manager). Most of our properties are located in the countryside and addresses can be hardly recognised by Home Away system. So they tend to spot the nearest town or well-know area in order to let clients understand and have a general idea. If you also look at the dashboard of the property, you'll read that he house is located in Loc. Ferretto, 30. If you look at our website, yo'll see the exact location of the property including coordinates. Although the owner speaks little English, we also provided you with the contact number of the Emma Villas responsible for the house and our offices are open 7/7 so we would have been pleased to assist you but we were only informed about the issue the day before your departure. The rates of this property are high so we are sorry if your experience was not as good. We hope we could have the chance to host you again in another of our properties and restore your faith in Emma Villas. Kind regards

DEFINATELY NOT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

We had never planned this type of vacation but it could not have turned out better. The pictures online are amazing but you just don't appreciate the beauty and wonder of this historic property until you arrive. From the moment we checked in, Andre was so passionate about the house and the work they had done. The house is huge, the grounds are very well maintained. The pool is wonderful. Each room is unique and well kept. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are great, the shower pressure is great. All the amenities you can hope for...and of course the location is perfect to 'get away' from it all but still be within a simple drive to Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, Assisi, Montepulciano, and even Florence is barely 90 minutes away. Just wonderful. But the experience was even more special because of Mario and his hospitality. Andre's father was there every day care taking the yard, the pool and just making sure we had every thing we needed. We can easily without question recommend the property.

A wonderful experience

The character of the property is fantastic. The park was very beautiful, perfect for a stay with children and the rare sophore trees wonderful. The furnishings and tastefully done decoration of the house and rooms was a delight! It felt good to be in a house that oozes history. I would certainly go again!

Amazing Villa

Charming, clean, beautiful setting. It was a nice house - not so nice that it was uncomfortable but nice like a Tuscan farmhouse would be. We loved it.
