Built in 1251 yet totally remodeled in 2014- Located in Historic Cortona City

The apartment is part of a structure that was built about 800 years ago. It has been nicely renovated with a good kitchen. The main bedroom upstairs is large and has a great ensuite and air conditioning. Downstairs bedroom is also a good size with its own ensuite. Location is close to the main piazza’s and lots of great restaurants. If you like history, this is a great property.

Property was a little smaller than expected and only has air conditioning in the top floor bedroom, which made it unpleasant for the people stuck sleeping downstairs, especially since Cortona was having record high temperatures while we were there. However, it was quiet, well equipped and centrally located.

Clean, walking distance to many restaurants and shops and a short, 20 minute drive to so many beautiful vineyards.

We were visiting our daughter who was studying abroad with the University of Georgia This apartment was 2-5 min walk to their dorms and close to the same to all restaurants and shops. The 2 bedroom 2 bath was spacious and very comfortable. I’d stay here again!

Beautiful house and location. Very convenient to the city center. It’s the perfect setting. Steep climb! Don’t forget anything, so you have to run back down to the city square!

Casa Santa Margarita is a Cortona gem. Its interesting history combined with its great location within the walled city and the views of the Valdichiana make it truly special. Though the home is in a peaceful area, it is near some of Cortona’s best restaurants. And the kitchen is well equipped should you elect to take a short walk to the butcher, bakery, or fresh pasta maker. We stayed 2-1/2 wonderful weeks. From the first moment we connected with the owner to throughout our stay, Mikael always promptly and most helpfully responded. And it was a surprise and treat to be able to view and enjoy several of Mikael paintings throughout the home. Though parking is usually quite a challenge in Cortona, there is easy access to nearby free parking. All in all - Casa Santa Margarita is a delightful place to stay in Cortona!

Santa Margherita was what we were looking for and met every expectation. Family of 2 couples. Perfect size for us! If you know the hills of Cortona this is the perfect spot to stay!

The house is wonderful. Old, Cosy and what a view. Located just above the city Center close to all bars and restaurants. Even a small supermarket is close even though one can only get tue most basic supplies there. You can need them however, because the kitchen has got all the necessary tools to conjure up a great meal. Parking is available nearby unloading is a bit cumbersome because the streets are really narrow around the house. I enjoyed the stay and can only recommend the Cortona area in general as well as the house in particular.

Mikael, the owner of the property, was absolutely the best! From his first email, to the day we departed, he was very attentive to all of our needs. We drove from Rome and agreed to meet him at a parking lot on the north side of Cortona. Originally, we had an ETA to meet there at 2PM, got lost, but stayed in contact with Mikael and we finally met him at 3:30 PM where he was happily waiting for us. We followed him up a beautiful hill on VERY narrow streets and he ushered our bags in the house and took the car to the free parking area. Mikael told us the story of Saint Magharita of Cortona, who once resided in the house! In the kitchen, we found a bottle of wine and some snacks and cold water in the fridge. Kitchen had all of the essentials like salt, pepper, olive oil etc… Pictures of the house on the site do not do it justice. In the ancient, yet beautifully remodeled home, you will find very comfortable furnishings and decor that took our breath away. The views from the kitchen and upstairs bedroom were stunning! We appreciated Mikael’s kindness and loved Cortona and we will be back. Five star plus!!

Our Host is the Beat Super Host ever. All steps of the process were smooth, from the listing being accurate, to responsive host, to all essentials and lots of extras at the property. A great location In Cortona to experience a wonderful HillTown in Tuscany. Don’t let this one get away. Have fun.
