I cannot express strongly enough how much we enjoyed our stay at La Fontanella. Our family of five (with three boys, aged 13, 11, and 8) found more than enough room to roam, with equal opportunity to relax. Our stay was at the end of a two week trip to Italy, and capped off our time perfectly. Caroline and Pino are the perfect hosts; generous, always ready with a friendly smile, and consistently available to help with directions and suggestions for a day trip. We ate more than our share of the garden's tomatoes (they are probably sorry they offered), used the garden herbs, ate peaches right from the tree just outside our door, and were even graciously given a lemon from Pino's store for Limoncello when the local grocery was out of them. Speaking of the local grocer, we found it to have a fabulous selection of anything we could have required - try the butcher, they will cut the meat you require as you watch. As we were a family of five, we appreciated the fully outfitted kitchen in which to cook. The outdoor grill was so different from our American counterpart that my husband is researching how to build one at home. I feel as though I am rambling, but if you are looking for a peaceful place to stay with perfect access to Cortona, Montepulciano, Arezzo, etc, this is the place. One last string of amenities: trampoline, swing set, badminton, swimming pool, dogs, cats, washing machine, DVD player with family movies, interesting artwork, and "not to be missed" views. If you want a "can't miss" VRBO stay, Caroline and Pino will have you well sorted.
