We had a really good time. Fantastic atmosphere and I can simply recommend it to everyone who wants to have a private area at Toscanini for a moment or time. The hosts were friendly and kind and we had certain really good trips to towns and lakes close to the house.

Set on a lush, level hill top, dotted with olive trees, conifers and wild rosemary, just a 10 minute drive to Cortona, this old stone Italian farm house is situated next to an ancient Etruscan and Catholic holy site (the Madonna Del Bagno) that takes you back in time. If you like the natural beauty and quiet of the countryside with modern amenities, this VRBO is the place for you. The hosts, Tommy and Lucy, are very kind and helpful, available to answer any questions about the property and the locale while also remaining invisible and respectful of the privacy of their guests. Imbued with charm, the focal point of the main seating area in the house is the fabulous stone fireplace. The home is clean and cozy, full of books, maps and art from the owners’ travels. The garden, lawn and pool area are beautiful with many spots for contemplation or entertaining. The one mile road to the house from the center of Pergo wends its way up, taking you past several private villas and offering incredible views of the Val D’Orcia region.

Feels just like home...

We had a wonderful time at the santuario di Madonna del bagno! The host, Tommy and Lucy are lovely, very helpful and almost invisible. The house itself feels like a real home, full of life and love. The garden is a paradise in the middle of nowhere, very secluded and the pool is like liquid heaven, especially during the hot tuscany summer. One of the best holidays we've had so far...

Easter holidays in the Cortona hills

a wonderful haven, in the midst of nature; olive trees, hiking trails, peace and quiet. And at least a thousand books. This is truly a gemstone when you like authenticity. All touristic hotspots are within easy reach as ae shopping facilities and our hosts are ever so kind to guide us with tips ans addresses. Certainly a home on the hills we would like to visit every season.

Peace, Beauty and History

Thomas and Lucy's home is much more than we had hoped for. Gloriously peaceful beautiful wooded land and an absolutely comfortable and character-full house with history. We enjoyed cooking meals, building roaring fires in the centuries old fireplace, listening to the cuckoos, doves and other birds. We barely left the property during our one week stay because it was so rejuvenating to just BE. Lucy and Thomas are excellent hosts who are warm, helpful and we were honored to be their guests. We would definitely rent this house again.

Beautiful place

We had such a wonderful week at Tommy and Lucy’s lovely house. It’s a lovely old Tuscan house, thoughtfully restored, with everything we needed. The house is packed full of books, including many old favourites for every age, and a dreamy hammock and a supremely comfortable sofa made very good reading spots. We spent lots of time as a family playing games in the pool, the garden and the house. At the bottom of the road (it was a 20 minute walk / 5 min drive down the hill, and the drive wasn’t too steep or windy, our rental car coped well) is a great little coffee/bar/tabac and a friendly pizzeria. There’s a fantastic small supermarket a further 5 minutes drive towards Cortona. Tommy and Lucy were delightful, helpful and full of useful advice. We’d love to return.

Fabulous property and owners

We had a fantastic stay. The listing is very accurate (the photos don't do it justice) and the owners were especially helpful. The gardens are lovely and the pool is well designed with an extended step for very small children to play on in the shallows, then half the pool is a good depth for older children, while the other half is deep enough to dive and jump into. The property is very well furnished, the kitchen well equipped, there's lots of interesting art and many many books. The owners live underneath the property and are very helpful but not intrusive. The drive up to the property is very steep in places, so unless you love steep hiking in the heat, you'll be driving up and down it. The shop at the bottom of the hill is well stocked and the staff are friendly. The bar/cafe and pizzeria are also very good and friendly.

Perfect Tuscan experience.

A beautiful property with the quintessential views, flavour and history of a Tuscan villa. A great home base for day trips to the surrounding small towns such as Sienna or Montepulciano. Nearby town of Camucia has access to grocery stores and an amazing Thursday market. Initially the drive up the hill was daunting but it quickly became just part of the adventure and the views were well worth the climb. (Walking down to the coffee bar or pizzeria at the bottom of the hill was a worthwhile experience as well! ) There is a lovely table setting in the olive grove for watching the sunsets over the hills. Hosts Tommy and Lucy were welcoming and full of local knowledge and suggestions. They even left us some of their garden produce and a bottle of their own olive oil. The pool was an amazing addition for cooling off after a hot day of sightseeing or just adding a day of relaxation to the vacation. The kitchen was stocked with pretty much all the essentials making cooking dinner at home a great option. Upper bedroom was hot but fans were provided. Small things to be prepared for…wifi reception could be spotty (but good/free reception at bar down the hill), beds not as comfortable as home, no hand soap in bathrooms) These things in no way took away from our amazing experience and are just meant as helpful hints. We would highly recommend this villa as it truly enhanced our visit to the Tuscan area!

Wunderschönes, altes aber sehr gepflegtes Ambiente

Trotz mäßigen Wetters eine sehr schöne Zeit in besonderer Umgebung. Die wunderbare Lage über dem Tal entschädigt auch die ziemlich schlechte schmale Straße, die dorthin führt. Sehr sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeber, die ebenfalls dort wohnen, aber keineswegs stören.

Tolle Unterkunft, toller Urlaub

Die Unterkunft ist genau wie im Inserat beschrieben. Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet, es fehlte uns an nichts. Wir wurden bereits im Vorfeld vom Vermieter kontaktiert und mit allen nötigen Informationen versorgt. Die Vermieter, Tommy und Lucy, haben uns bei unserer Ankunft herzlich empfangen. Sie leben mit auf dem Grundstück auf der Rückseite des Hauses. Sie standen bei Bedarf jederzeit zur Verfügung, hielten sich sonst aber im Hintergrund. Wir haben den weitläufigen Garten und den Pool sehr genossen. Da die nächsten Häuser etwas entfernt lagen, hatten wir auch absolute Ruhe. Wir haben unseren Urlaub rundum genossen und danken Tommy und Lucy für ihre Gastfreundlichkeit.

Traumhafter Garten und Pool

Wir hatten zu sechst (4 Erwachsene, 2 Kids und ein Hund) Ende August/Anfang Sepember 2022 drei wundervolle Wochen bei Tommy und Lucy im Haus. Das Haus liegt direkt an einer alten Kirche und wirklich absoluter Ruhe in Mitten von Olivenhainen. Der Pool ist ein Traum und man kann hier wirklich die Seele baumeln lassen. Tommy und Lucy sind sehr freundliche und immer hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Wir können jedem der Ruhe und Entspannung in herrlicher Natur sucht dieses Objekt nur empfehlen.

Tommy and Lucy welcomed us when we arrived and were extremely kind and helpful throughout our whole stay. I can strongly recommend renting this place to everyone.

Traumhafter Urlaub

Toskana ist natürlich immer eine Reise wert. In diesem Haus kann man seinen Urlaub allerdings ganz besonders genießen. Es ist alles so, wie es sein sollte. Traumhaft schönes Grundstück und für Kinder gibt es auch sehr viel zu entdecken. Die Gastgeber sind ebenfalls sehr nett und vermitteln von der ersten Begegnung sofort das Gefühl, dass man hier besonders gut aufgehoben ist. Wir kommen wieder :)

Fantastic stay with Tommy and Lucy

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is 500 years old and perfectly charming, though a little dark which I think is to be expected. The hosts were super helpful and friendly. Their is a great espresso shop at the end of their road (which is rather curvy and long) for a morning cappuccino and croissant. It's very private and quiet with unbelievable Tuscan valley views. Highly recommend.

Schöne Ferienwohnung in den Bergen der Toscana

Wir haben bei Lucy und Tommy ein paar wunderbare Tage in ihrem Haus verbracht. Es war so schön! Abends waren nur das Vogelgezwitscher und das Zirpen der Zikaden zu hören. Nach unseren Ausflügen in die Umgebung, nach Cortona, Assisi oder Arezzo haben wir das kühle Wasser des Pools genossen. Im Haus war alles vorhanden, was wir benötigten. Zum Zeitpunkt unseres Besuchs war nur Lucy vor Ort und sie hat uns bestens betreut. Eine große Überraschung war auch die kleine Kirche direkt am Haus "Madonna del Bagno". Vielen Dank Lucy für die kleine Führung. Dies war also insgesamt ein erholsamer und schöner Urlaub. Danke Lucy und Tommy
