Overall: Only one word to describe it...INCREDIBLE. Close to Cortona - walking distance (uphill) 5-7 mins. The villa is 2nd to none - has the Tuscany look on the outside and the inside is STATE of the ART and extremely comfortable. The bedrooms were awesome, bathrooms amazing. Inside eating area was perfect, kitchen quaint. The patio and outside area was absolutely perfect - shaded area that protected us from the rain. Although we didn't use the pool because of rain and temp - its a perfect setting. Enjoyed Most: Location near Cortona and the quality of the property - sleeping arrangements were perfect with plenty of space for everyone. Surrounding Area: Proximity to everything - walking to Cortona, driving to virtually everywhere. Nearby Events or Locales: Cortona - 5-7 min walk. Tips or Restaurants: I would recommend bathrobe and slippers. Rent a car.Sylvia will give you everything you need for recommendations. Definitely take a couple of day trips - we went to Assisi and several other small towns. A MUST is having Chef Francesco cook for you - best two meals in three weeks; we arranged these through RentVillas. Also the Del Brenna experience was unforgettable - ask Sylvia. Directions: Sylvia gives you everything you need - and meets you if you are lost. GPS was worthless- in general (not related to the villa) use your iPhone Maps - walking, driving works perfect. Check In Out: Sylvia was awesome!
