We had a lovely vacation in this beautiful location, high in the hills of Cortona, near Lake Trasimeno, thanks to Nicoletta, Beppe, and Luigi. The home we stayed in was decorated in a charming and rustic manner with modern conveniences, and could not have been better located or more functional. The family could not have been more welcoming or generous to us during our week stay. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a bottle of local wine, chocolates, and plump, ripe strawberries. Rainy and cool weather prevented us from taking advantage of the beautiful grounds and built-in swimming pool, and unfortunately we were not able to make use of the stone patios and balconies, or outdoor furniture for meals or drinks. It was this weather, however, that made us all the more appreciative of the modern kitchen, the television with cable, and wireless internet connectivity. We were able to walk into town for delicious dinners and interesting shops, and the family was quick to recommend local restaurants and a private chef should we have desired one.
It is very convenient to access the Autostrada from this location. This property is well situated for day trips to Montepulciano, Montalcino, Siena, Florence, and Orvieta, to name but a few. We very much hope to return in the future. Thank you to the Torriti family for making our stay so memorable.
