Overall: Very much enjoyed the facilities and location. Corte 1 boasted four large bedrooms for just two couples, but it felt luxurious to be able to take advantage of all the space--and we did. The central location made day trips to Florence, Lucca, Pisa, etc perfect. Enjoyed Most: Space, space, space! Enjoyed Least: I was going to say hard beds, but I think the kitchen could benefit from a real oven or convection microwave. We ate in most nights having ravaged local markets for some of the finest food stuffs we've ever experienced. It became a challenge to do it full justice in that kitchen, but we managed. Surrounding Area: Small quiet towns where you could truly get into the local culture. And everyone was so kind, in spite of our inability to speak Italian. Thankfully some knew enough English or French for us to do what we wanted. Nearby Events or Locales: Orentano. Yes--you could walk if you were dumb enough to want to challenge Italian drivers regarding who had the right of way. So we got in our car to make it a fair fight. Tips or Restaurants: This place had everything we needed, including a good two days of provisions. We brought some spice packs suited to our tastes which could have been purchased there but unless we wanted to carry back or leave behind would have been a waste. Directions: No GPS coordinates, which would have been very, very useful. The address could not be found on our GPS. Also their street sign, which is critical to finding the driveway, is hidden behind another sign.
