Villa Stefania Old Tuscan Farmhouse - Great View on Cortona

Wow!!!. I wish there was some way to rate this property with more than 5 stars. Everything was exceptional! The restored centuries-old farmhouse was incredibly beautiful and comfortable. Very well apportioned. The grounds were private and engaging. The location (just minutes’ drive from the historical Cortona city center) was ideal. The hosts were charming and communicative - struck a perfect balance between being available and responsive, yet respectful of our privacy. Thank you Stefania and Luigi!!!Best VRBO rental for us by far (20 years of rental experience)!

Spectacular! Exceeds expectations! Hosts are wonderful and caring.

Very nice house well appointed updated air conditioning in every room nice pool big yard for kids very nice place to stay for a family vacation. Everyone had their own bed. We had 12 in our group. We stayed a month and it was fantastic.

This house and adjacent apartment was perfect for a larger group. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. The property was lovely and has a spectacular pool. A few things to note. The house name is not a location on a map and if you use an app like Google then you must use the name on the wall outside the property. The hot water takes a very long time to get to the upper floor shower and it’s almost impossible to fill a hot bath. That’s to be expected in a house of this age and it’s well worth that little inconvenience.

Great property with beautiful views on Cortona. The owners were very kind and very responsive. The swimming pool is very large and our kids spent an enourmous amount of time there. The kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms are spacious and well decorated with aircon much appreciated in summer. We had some issues with water pressure in one of the houses, but the owners were about to change the boiler and fix the issue. Highly recommended for two/three families.

Firstly, the property was absolutely perfect. It was big, all air conditioned (when it’s so hot outside it needs to be) and really felt like a home from home. All the bedrooms are big and the shutters make it super dark at nighttime for sensitive sleepers. It had everything that we needed and more, with lots of different areas to sit and relax. The pool was beautiful, larger than I was expecting and a great infinity effect as you look over at Cortona. The location was great. Close enough to Cortona and shops etc to feel connected, but not too close so that you still felt lovely peace and quiet of being in the countryside. Lots of walks to go on from the house and lots of other towns to visit in the area. We loved it. And finally Stefania and Luigi were fantastic hosts. No fuss or bother at all, and they were always available to help. They couldn’t have done more for us and their friendliness was great! Would definitely return, thank you!

We are a family of 5 that rented this house for 9 days. Everything from arrival to check out worked very well. This house has a secluded swimming pool area, functional kitchen and a dining area inside and outside. Air condition is also installed in every room, which is almost a must have during the summer months. However as in most homes not everything will be 100% new or perfect, but since the total experience was good this did not affect the stay in any negative way. The owner is quick to respond and takes action if needed. We enjoyed every day in this fantastic place. We would for sure return if we get the chance.

My family of four (11 and 14 year old girls) had the best four nights at this villa. The house itself was so charming and well stocked, the grounds beautiful and well maintained, and the pool and welcome retreat each day after exploring the surrounding towns. We didn’t even touch the extra apartment with two additional bedrooms! Highly recommend!

We stayed at this villa for a month. We had our family of 9 people here for 10 days. The layout with 2 separate apartments was perfect for our group. We had great weather during our stay and so we used the pool (unheated) frequently. The kitchen has all the utensils you will need for cooking, and some spices too. The owners were very responsive to any issues that came up. This is a rustic typical Tuscan villa. It could use additional comfortable seating inside, and it would be great if there was a smart TV in case you want a night in to watch a movie. Fabulous location! Wonderful view of Cortona. You definitely need a car if you are staying here. So much to do and see in the area.

Where to even begin? We loved everything about our stay. Stefania was wonderful, and responsive to our many questions before we even arrived. Upon arrival, it felt like a dream. The Villa is beautiful, private, and expansive. The property is huge, with lots of olive trees, fig trees, and places for the kids to play and explore. And not to mention the stunning pool, which overlooks the most incredible views of Cortona. We were pleased to find a ping pong table, and just absolutely loved the pool (especially in the August heat!). The Villa is only a few minutes from Cortona by car, and a few minutes drive to Coop for groceries. The Villa itself has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay and quickly felt like home. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are comfortable, the showers have great water pressure, and there are plenty of towels. And Stefania set us up with wonderful chefs to come and cook for us a few days–and they even did a cooking class for the kids. The apartment was a huge plus for us as well, giving our parents a place to stay and plenty of privacy with their own bedroom and kitchen. Grateful to have found such a wonderful Villa. It truly felt surreal. The perfect combination of rustic Tuscany countryside with the modern amenities to have a comfortable, relaxing stay where you can disconnect and unwind. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you, Stefania!
