Villa Mulinoavento with magnificent view 5 minutes walking downtown

We recently stayed at this property for one month and were very happy with the experience. The property is situated in a remarkable location with a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. The property is well appointed and met our needs perfectly. Our host, Luigi, was exceedingly helpful with advice during our staty and was incredibly responsive to any issues with the property. His mother, Nicoletta, found us a chef who prepared scrumptious Italian meats at the property on two occasions. We found Cortona to be a delightful town/village with many wonderful shops and caffes, as well as several excellent restaurants. It was also a perfect location from which to visit numerous sites and attractions in Tuscany and northern Umbria. We cannot imagine having had a better experience!

Great house, wonderful host, we really enjoyed our stay.

We spent a month at MulinoVento and loved every day. The home is beautiful and perfect for having friends and family as guests. The location is superb - we enjoyed walking into town and up to the top of the hill (mountain?) each day. Luigi and Nicoletta made sure every detail was perfect and were quick to respond to our requests. they also outdid themselves to ensure our stay was incredible, which is was. The new pool is gorgeous - we enjoyed swimming in the spring! We highly, highly recommend this home!

I always read reviews before booking, and what stood out about Luigi's home were the glowing comments about him—not just the house. That’s why I chose it, and I’m so glad I did. We stayed for nine days over Christmas with our four children. This was our first big family vacation during a major holiday, and Luigi helped make it special, comfortable, and feel like home.From the moment we arrived, Luigi went above and beyond. Jet-lagged and without a car, he took my husband to get dinner when most places were closed. He checked on us daily, offering advice and detailed recommendations. When my daughter hurt her back, Luigi helped immediately and checked on her the next day. On Christmas, his family invited us for drinks, making us feel truly welcomed.Luigi made the house festive for the holidays, putting up a beautiful tree just for us. He greeted us with thoughtful gifts, including his incredible homemade olive oil. The house itself was stunning, in the best location in Cortona. The views were breathtaking, and the house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable.There’s no doubt we’ll be back. Luigi’s kindness and hospitality made this trip unforgettable. If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate—you’ll be so glad you did.

The villa is lovely and quiet just up the hill from the centre of Cortona, the walk literally takes 8-10 minutes. Plenty of parking, nice pool (a slight wasp infestation issue aside) and all the amenities you need. Supermarket is a 5 minute drive away. Rooms are all nice and upstairs has air conditioning (the master room aircon wasn’t cooling below 27 degrees but the other two bedrooms cooled nicely - it does get very hot). Luigi pops round most days to keep things ship shape. Would recommend for families or friends 4-6 people. It’s probably a challenging walk for families with young children to walk to town. .

I cannot rate this property highly enough! Everything was gorgeous and impeccable. Magnificent views of Cortona and the valley below from the sprawling front lawn and the beautiful pool, a well equipped kitchen, loads of space, beautiful bathrooms and super gracious hosts . Luigi was always available, accommodating and ready to offer suggestions and recommendations for dining, day trips and wineries. This is a beautiful, special place. Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful villa, very spacious and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our very relaxing, peaceful week in a stunning location with a wonderful swimming pool. The owners were very helpful and delightful to deal with and we hope to return in the near future.

My husband and I, our two children (aged 2 years and 2 months) and my parents spent two fantastic weeks in this beautiful property. Perched on a hill, the view of the surrounding countryside is spectacular. The garden is beautifully maintained with flowering plants and the lawn (lush and green even in July) was perfect for my 2 year old to run and kick a ball. Two large trees provide shade in the afternoon and we found there was always a breeze so that we could enjoy dinners outside even on hot days. The pool is beautifully landscaped and slightly away from the main lawn, which ways helpful from a safety point of view with young kids. Inside the house was very spacious and perfect for our family set up, with the upstairs bedrooms separated into two “wings”, with one bedroom/bathroom to one side of the house and two more bedrooms and bathrooms to the other side (so my parents could sleep at one end of the house without being disturbed by our early waking toddler!) The aircon in the bedrooms worked very well and we found the whole house stayed nice and cool despite the heat. Cortona town is a short walk away along quiet (although uphill on the return - with young children in tow, it took us 15-20 mins to walk up). There’s also a nice little playground between the house and the town. Finally, the host Luigi and his family could not have been more helpful and attentive and went above and beyond when we had a medical emergency towards the end of our stay. Thank you Luigi!

I will give a quick summary then a more detailed description if you want to read more in TripAdivsor / Google Reveiws The Villa was a perfect base for our Family of 5 adults trip to Tuscany. The view alone from the front of the house overlooking the valley is worth it. You have a clean house with 3 very good size bedrooms on the second floor, 2 with private bathrooms w/shower and the 3rd with also a separate bathroom just outside the bedroom door, a 4th powder room on the entry level. Kitchen and dining area are well stocked. 2 refrigerators, living area to relax, a private pool also with a great view. Villa could accommodate 6 adults very easy (think 3 couples). Geography / Location: Villa Mulinoavento is located on a high hill just up the road (very narrow) from the hill town of Cortona. Viewing the location on a map is a little deceiving. You think is is just a winding road, but in reality you are driving/walking up a hill just on the outskirts of the Cortona city center. You can walk to Cortona (10 minutes to edge of town, 15 to center). It is a downhill walk to town, but remember you have to walk back up the hill. There is limited parking near center city so walking is the best mode. We used this villa as a base camp and explored to different cities each day all within a hour to hour and a half drive (Montepulciano, Assisi, Sienna, Florence). Your host Luigi is very accommodating and a pleasure to work with during and prior to the stay.

Such a lovely property to base out of to see more of Tuscany. Enjoyed great dining in Cortona each evening. Luigi and Nicolette are wonderful hosts.
