Built on a hill, this stone town house is right outside the old city walls (dating from the 2nd century B.C.) of Historical Centre of Cortona, an old city founded by The Etruscans, the ancient civilization that built Rome. Cortona is conveniently located in a 1,15 hrs drive from Florence, 2 hrs from Rome and Pisa International Airports, 30 mins from Perugia (in Umbria) and Arezzo, 45 mins from Siena, 35 mins from Montepulciano, 1hr from Assisi (Umbria) e Montalcino (where the famous 'Brunello' wine comes from)...all the best sights of the famous Tuscan countryside, with yellow sunflower fields in the summer and multi colored trees in the spring!
Cortona is famous as the inspiration and setting for the book Under the Tuscan Sun, (that later became a movie) written by USA writer-novelist Francis Mayes. It also homes a branch of the Georgia University - USA, for artistic matters, since 1970.
This home is cozy, a jewel, a perfect location with a beautiful veranda and offered the feeling of being right at home. It is well appointed and managed. Thank you, Vanna!
The property was just as advertised and all that we hoped for. Our private patio with a view was a delight for lazy afternoons or evenings, enjoying the Tuscan warmth and beautiful light and the privacy was perfect. Our hostess was extremely helpful and went above and beyond as we had a minor emergency and she insisted on helping every step of the way. An excellent location to visit several of the other surrounding towns.
This was our second time staying in Cortona with Vanna. We love the apartment and Vanna is such a good host. You must take her cooking class, So good. Apartment has everything. We like to cook so kitchen was great. Cortona is beautiful and the view from apartment is amazing. We will come back again and again.
This is a beautiful little apartment, perfectly situated at the base of historic center in Cortona. The apartment was very clean and included everything we needed to enjoy our stay (A/C too). Our host was extremely friendly and accommodating, and we highly recommend this property.
The property is top notch. Completely renovated only a year or so ago. It is perfect. Very beautiful and functional. Great view! Comfy bed. We ended up oversleeping every day! Vanna was an amazing host and wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed and really cared about us. (Side note, if you are considering Cortona versus other locations we were very impressed by the friendliness of the people and the very high quality of the local food). We will be back!
The apartment is exactly as advertised with great views across the valley and a 7 minute walk to Cortona's main square and restaurants. The apt is beautifully appointed with everything you need and was warm and comfortable. The terrace is great for morning coffee or evening wine overlooking the amazing valley. Mirko was great to deal with and the booking process was quick and easy. Vanna was incredibly helpful and even gave us some of the Easter cheese bread she baked! She answered all of our questions during the stay and recommended her favorite restaurants in Cortona. We felt welcome and cozy in their home away from home. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
Wonderful townhouse built into the wall with Tuscan Sun streaming into my room every morning ! Parking was very close. The owners mother helped with everything and was charming just like someone out of. Movie. The bathroom fixtures are beautiful . Cortona is a fabulous place to spend a week and this townhouse is totally accomadating
Very comfortable I particularly loved the terrace and the view first thing in the morning. Cortona is a very beautiful town with many lovely restaurants. The bistro Cortona is amazing and is a must in my opinion.
La Terraza is perfect. I was there for a month and found Cortona most charming and to be a great place from which to day-trip the Tuscan hill towns and then come back and walk to one of the terrific restaurants up the hill from the apartment, of which there are many all over town. Vanna is a perfect hostess, and I felt as if I left Cortona with a new friend. Warm and generous, accommodating and welcoming, she shares her family property with pride and aplomb. I recommend her cooking class absolutely, as it was a family favorite and highlight of our time there. Some details: parking was not a problem and I usually found a good spot within a block or two. The view is fabulous from the small terrace, just as pictured, as is everything else. Comfortable beds and pillows, all very clean. The apartment has recently been renovated, and the modern niceties (kitchen, bathrooms, ceiling fans, AC) are meshed seamlessly into the historic property...a real plus. Go if you can and stay as long as you are able.
As soon as we arrived at La Terrazzo sulla Valle we were met by our hostess Vanna who showed us around this beautiful apartment. For two couples it is perfect. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a nice kitchen-living area leading out to a lovely porch with sweeping views of the valley below. We had planned to take day trips out of Cortona but once we saw the beautiful town we decided to spend our days exploring the immediate area. Vanna gave us ideas for restaurants and agreed to meet us the next day to show us a little of the town. She introduced us to a couple of art galleries and to the farmers market stands and her favorite cheese and meat shops. We were very happy that we took advantage of the chance to go to Vanna's home, just above the apartment, for her cooking class and delicious dinner. We are now inspired to try more Italian dishes. Our stay was too short, but now we have a friend in Cortona and would love to return to La Terrazzo one day.
