A happy time in Cortona

Samantha’s apartment was wonderful! The terrace was dreamy, with views and sunsets that I will remember for a long time! Apertivos and evenings sitting outside were lovely! The location is quiet and convenient. Lacking only a few refinements, the apartment is very desirable.

Perfect

This was our second year staying in same apartment. It was so easy and perfectly located, we did not want to risk another location. The hot water has challenges but once I messaged them, they were over in minutes to help. If you have a rental car, this could not be more perfect as the parking is adjacent to the home. Incredible location. Best view of our trip.

Kunst Geschichte Tradition

In Cortona findest du das alles und mehr...der Tag beginnt mit einem Cappuccino und Brioche auf der Piazza ...und danach geht es auf Entdeckungstour...und es gibt viel zu entdecken.Die FeWo ist angenehm kühl mit hohen Decken und natürlich dem wunderbaren Blick von der Terrasse aus. Wir waren im Mai hier und wir hatten sehr angenehme Temperaturen. Geparkt haben wir auf dem freien Parkplatz vor der Mauer. Am Nachmittag, wenn die Tagestouristen wieder abfahren, findet man hier immer einen Platz. Der Aufgang ist nicht barrierefrei und auch sonst geht es hier auf und ab, wer also nicht so gut zu Fuß ist, sollte sich dessen bewusst sein und sich einfach mehr Zeit nehmen. Das gilt auch für die fitteren, denn es gibt überall etwas zu entdecken und auch kulinarisch ist man hier genau richtig. Die toskanische Küche ist 'einfach' wunderbar. Sehr zu empfehlen das 'Caffé Vittoria' und 'La Rughe di Cortona'

I wish we could have stayed longer. The outside patio is worth it alone! However, to get a view, you have to climb. Make sure your knees are strong and your luggage is light.

Amazing view

This is a wonderful property in a quiet area, but only a short walk to the piazza and restaurants. The only improvement I would recommend is the shower caddy; all of my travel sized items kept falling out of it.

Amazing!!

We loved absolutely everything about our stay in Cortona! Samantha and Alen were great communicators and made the check in easy. The apartment is perfection! From the tall, shuttered windows, beautiful tiled floors, high ceilings and amazing terrace, it was amazing!! The location couldn’t have been better and the views….. Even though I didn’t really use it, the kitchen was well stocked. All in all- wow!! We didn’t want to leave and hope to be back.

View and location could not be better.

The biggest problem is that we only stayed two nights. Although Cortona may be off the normal travel route, it has been our favorite town to visit. It is quaint, clean and very welcoming. Alen, who checked us in, was great as he gave perfect recommendations and was available via Whatsapp if we needed anything. If you rent a car, there is parking very, very close by. We did cooking classes at Fattoria Bistecca, which was highlight of trip. 7 km drive.

Beautiful Cortona

The main attraction of this apartment is the terrace it is amazing with fantastic views! The rest of the apartment is spacious and comfortable could maybe do with a few more kitchen items a jug for milk and large glass for beer but apart from that it was great. Fabulous location and great restaurants nearby. Cortona is the best place we visited during our week long stay in Tuscany. Highly recommended

Best view in Cortona

Our panoramic view from the huge terrace says it all. The valley lights at night were magical. We stayed for a month and caught three different SpaceX satellite launches one week. The basics are there, too. Super comfortable beds and linens, great wifi, clothes washer. The location is perfect, a 5 minute walk to the central piazza. I can't imagine any other property coming close to this.

Cortona Getaway

Quaint, comfortable apartment with spectacular views from patio. Easy walking distance to main square. Alen, the property manager who checked us in was great; a Cortona resident who provided lots of suggestions. Samantha, the owner was also easy to work with and stayed in communication from booking to departure. Highly recommend property and host. For those arriving by train, I would suggest booking a taxi well in advance as they are difficult to arrange. We booked Saban Salijevic who was great! He also does tours.
