Beautiful 16th Century farmhouse with large pool, located near Cortona,Tuscany

We spent one week at the villa in late September. We enjoyed very much the kindness and hospitality of the owners. The gardens surrounding the house are very interesting, as well as how the house is organized. The owners have devoted energy in creating a very pleasant property to enjoy, and were helpful in providing tips for restaurants and wineries. A place to remember!

Great place to stay in a very nice location and the grounds are incredible.

We spent a week with our 2 children at Jasmina this past June. It was truly a wonderful, peaceful, and inspiring place! We would take day trips to small towns in the morning and return in the afternoon to spend time on the beautifully maintained grounds and the large refreshing swimming pool. My husband and son enjoyed playing soccer in the soccer field, as well. The best part was the owners Steven and Vicki. They were very welcoming and were able to give us many local suggestions for food and activities. We would definitely like to return soon!

I have rented several villas in Italy over the years. This one tops them all. My wife and I spent two weeks here with our friends of over 50 years who were visiting Italy for the first time. Our hosts Vicky and Steve made this a most memorable visit. The villa was spotless, the grounds immaculate and wonderfully landscaped, and it’s setting in the surrounding countryside was perfect. The villa is very centrally located for touring all the hill towns of Tuscany and Umbria, and there is a small village nearby in walking distance that is home to a great restaurant. You can’t go wrong booking this villa. We plan to return. Thank you Steve and Vicky for a wonderful visit.

Although we were here too early to enjoy the swimming pool and barbecue, we thoroughly enjoyed the wildflowers, green grass and hillsides of Tuscany. We loved the peace and quiet and old world charm of Jasmina during May. We took easy trips to Cortona, Montepulciano, Pienza and Lake Trasimeno and visited wineries and found wonderful restaurants when we were not enjoying cooking the local food in our own kitchen. We enjoyed the time to just relax under the sail cover of our patio. Highly recommend this lovely property.

An absolutely perfect base to explore the wonderful Tuscan countryside and cities. We stayed for one week in Jasmina with our two daughters and couldn't have found a better villa. The pool was perfect and larger than expected! The villa itself was beautifully and luxuriously appointed and well equipped with whatever we needed. We simply didn't want to leave..... Our hosts Vicki and Steven ensured we were well informed and very comfortably looked after and have obviously poured a lot of love and care into Violina, creating an idyllic Italian retreat. We will absolutely return for another stay....there's just too much of Tuscany left to explore....

Our family of 4 enjoyed a very relaxing week in Jasmina. Vicki and Steven met us on our arrival and were incredibly welcoming and genuinely cared that we enjoyed our stay at their beautiful house. The boys (ages 6 and 10) spent most of their time in the very clean and roomy pool which was a very comfortable temperature, while we soaked up the Tuscan sunshine! The house itself was beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable with sofas that you could sink into after a hard day by the pool. The kitchen contained everything that we needed and we enjoyed using the bar b q and eating al fresco under the sail canopy of our outdoor dining area. Cortona is just a 10 - 15 minute drive away and well worth a visit as it is a stunning walled city full of Italian charm and winding cobbled streets. I would say that the photos of Jasmina do not do it justice, as it really is the loveliest holiday home that we have ever stayed in and we can't recommend it highly enough.

We had the pleasure of staying at Jasmina for 18 nights this spring. This property offers a tranquil setting amongst the beautiful Tuscan countryside, and has a location that provides easy access to a number of nearby towns and sights. We thoroughly enjoyed being in close proximity to Cortona, which is a delightful and full of charming shops and wonderful spots to walk. We were hosted by the owners who happened to be on sight during our visit, they were incredibly gracious and went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. Overall, I would definitely recommend Jasmina to any traveler who is looking for a charming, well appointed property that offers a great location.

When we booked this property, we knew it had the perfect location for all of the day trips that we were going to make in our almost 3 weeks in Tuscany. It was also the perfect size and had all the amenities that we were looking for (dishwasher, washing machine, pool, full kitchen, modern furnishings, window screens, etc.). But what we had not imagined was the bonus of having the owners in residence next door. In addition to being helpful with places to see and things to do, offering DVD's, and borrowing some excellent tea, they also became fast friends. They are a delightful couple who were gracious and outgoing - even inviting us for cocktails! We are already planning a return visit next year to enjoy the peaceful and beautiful retreat that this remodeled farmhouse offered for our home away from home - and to reconnect with Vicki and Steven (and their charming dog Rosie)!

We had a fantastic Tuscan holiday staying here in Jasmina, a beautifully renovated farmhouse mixing tradition with modern convenience. Perfect location for making day visits to towns and places all over Tuscany and Umbria. The owners Vicki and Steven are the perfect hosts and were easily available for any advice. The house itself the perfect place to relax and if not travelling, very peaceful and extremely well kept, including the very large pool. Our 2 year old had a great time and was very safe playing in the large grounds of the house. If you want to explore southern Tuscany, combined with beautiful and peaceful accomodation, then I couldn't recommend highly enough.
