We loved our stay at Il Roseto, in the central area of old Cortona. Short walks to restaurants and espresso cafes was just what we were looking for. Everything was clean when we moved in, the kitchen is fully equipped and Fernando the host very helpful.

We had a fabulous time in Cortona! The house was perfect and had everything we needed! Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, etc. we cooked several times at the house- but especially enjoyed all of the fantastic restaurants- all within walking distance. Also nearby within walking distance is a small grocery store, the bakery, butcher, and a wine shop that has tastings also! Fernando stopped by the first evening and provided instructions- there is a washer and dryer which is a real convenience… We had wonderful times sitting out on the beautiful private courtyard! W F

We spent the summer in Cortona at Il Roseto. Our family of four, plus my mother. It was a dream. The apartment is so lovely and perfectly situated, close to everything, yet tucked away in a quiet spot. The outdoor terrace is filled with roses and fragrant shrubs. Fernando and Pierfrancesco responded quickly to every question or need. Il Roseto was truly our home, and it felt that way. The apartment was recently renovated with new foam mattresses and pillows, and AC mini splits and smart TVs in all of the rooms. We hope to return to Cortona and stay in Il Roseto again!

The property was built in 1500 but updated recently. It definitely has its quirks related to gas and electricity. More written instructions in the home would be useful. The home is spacious with the exception of the galley style kitchen. There is a lovely courtyard that seems to be very unique to properties within the walls of Cortona. There are a couple of nice walks around Cortona. You are not too far from Sienna for a day trip.

So clean and spacious. Very welcoming. We loved our stay.

we had anticipated our daughter and family being with us but there was a family emergency and they couldn't come, so the house was way too big for my wife and I. also, she was disappointed that there were so few windows so the place seemed dark all the time and the three levels especially with the living and dining on the bottom level was inconvenient. Had a great time in Cortona though.

Staying at Il Roseto in Cortona for 9 nights was absolutely a wonderful experience. Fernando is an ideal host. He communicated with us before we arrived, througout our stay and even messaged us after our departure to check on us. His son, Fransesco, picked us up at the train station, drove us to the house and showed us around. We had some trouble with the dryer and Fernando and Fransesco both came over to get it to work. Fernando always responded to our questions immediately. He is the best VRBO host we have ever experienced. The house is a dream. The pictures don't do it justice. We told friends we stayed in a villa! It is beautiful, has everything you could want and was spotless when we arrived. It is in a perfect location in Cortona, close to Piazza della Repubblica. It is on a quiet street. The only thing we heard in the morning were birds and church bells in the distance. We could not find a driver to take us to the train station on our last day. We dreaded the thought of lugging our luggage to the shuttle bus area, which would have most likely taken us a good 45 minutes what with the steps and hilly streets of Cortona (charming and fun if you're just walking around). Fernando communicated with us for days trying to find a driver. In the end his wife went out of her way to drive us. I thanked him and told him he was a lovely man. He responded that he was just a normal man who liked to help people. If we ever return to Cortona, we will definitely stay at Il Roseto

My daughter and I stayed in the Villa for 6 days and we absolutely loved it and Cortona. Pierre Francisco and Fernando were so helpful, from booking trains to taxi's and any information we needed they would immediately respond and help us. We hope to return in the fall.

Cortona is a beautiful town and is everything you see in the movies. Narrow streets, boutique stores and delicious food. The apartment in the centre of town is a vision of the old Italian lifestyle. Close your eyes and you can imagine a Nonna making pasta in the rustic kitchen, with the family sitting down in the vintage dining room. Two bathrooms make it comfortable for couples or a family.
