Ville a Portole

“Have stayed in area before, but not Cortona. We were taken around the property by Nonna and her grandson. A great team. They bogg live on siteNonna was attentive but not intrusive, and always left us tomatoes and basil from her garden, but spoke no english - more of a comment about us than her as it would have been great to talk to her more fully. A lovely lady. Stefano was great as translator, go to guy for info - taxi firms, air con specialists, bar to watch womens footy final! Etc A great...

“La Colonica is large and beautifully furnished - we only used one, but there are 2 large double bedrooms with showers. The hosts are very friendly, and David is English, so no communication problems. We were free to roam about the grounds - there is an olive grove attatched. There is an enormous, friendly dog who leaves white hairs all over you! The only drawback is that in the village (very picturesque) there are only 2 places to eat - 1 pizzeria and 1 restaurant. Apart from that the place is...

“Bellissimo casolare ben tenuto con magnifico giardino e grande piscina. La padrona di casa gentilissima e molto discreta. Abbiamo soggiornato in agosto con amici e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Assolutamente consigliato!”

“We loved our stay at “Villa Rosa”. The owner was very informative and provided all the detail and recommendations we would ever need. Alex the property manager was there to greet us to show us around and later provided further answers. The Villa is very comfortable with all the amenities you could possibly need. Great Wi-fi too. We enjoyed particularly the pool area which is very private and secluded with great views over the rolling hills. My husband is a keen wildlife enthusiast, so he was...

“We were group of 16 adults and three children under the age of three. Sonja and Diego could not have been better hosts! They are truly lovely people! Everything was absolutely perfect! The villa is stunning and very child friendly! We opted to have Sonja cook breakfast and dinner for us each day, and her food was absolutely delicious! You must try their pizza and bbq! We enjoyed the tennis court, feeding the horses, and day trips to Siena, Florence, and Montepulciano. The villa location is...

“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...

“The host was very welcoming upon arrival and gave us a great tour of the property along with some area history. Such a peaceful setting. Really enjoyed the patio upstairs off the bedroom. Great views of the terrain by day and fantastic views of the stars at night. Very close to the enchanting villages on hilltops nearby (Rigamagno and Scrofiano).”

“Uno dei posti più belli e confortevoli in cui sia mai stato. Proprietari e housekeeping gentilissimi e molto molto disponibili. Davvero stupendo, tutto. Interni ed esterni. La vista sul lago, poi, è da togliere il fiato. Ci tornerò appena possibile.”

“Tout était parfait! Contact avec les propriétaires excellents.”

“La casa di Louse è un antico casale di campagna, in cui si è cercato di preservare un sapore ancestrale. La casa è ben fornita e organizzata. Lo spazio esterno ampio e pacifico. La piscina è grande e davvero piacevole l'estate. Si possono fare delle belle passeggiate nella natura e Cortona è a 10 minuti di macchina. Louise è una padrona di casa eccellente, premurosa e disponibile sempre.”

“Liliana and Dante were extremely kind and accommodating. The property is huge. We visited with 6 different families - 25 people and we had room to spare. Arezzo is a great town, and we were within 30 mins driving from many of the must-visit Tuscan towns. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again!”

“Our stay at this house surpassed all our expectations. Everything was very clean and well stocked with many little amenities and personal touches. The grounds have the most amazing views, especially in springtime. Mrs Rossella was a most gracious host. She was attentive to any of our needs. We had a wonderful experience with a chef as well. The hosts recommended her, and our dinner was unique and delicious! We will definitely come back to this house and would recommend it to anyone.”

“Ci siamo trovati veramente bene. Casa attrezzatissima,, vista meravigliosa, posizione incantevole. Piscina tenuta benissimo. Oltre tutto abbiamo avuto il bellissimo piacere di ricevere visita di una volpe, cosa per noi del tutto insolita, ma che ci ha fatto immenso piacere.”

“Das Ferienhaus liegt wunderschön inmitten der Natur. Wer kein Problem hat mit dem Auto über schmale Schotterwege zu fahren, für die ist es ein Traum, auch die Anfahrtsbeschreibung war sehr gut verständlich. Alles war sauber und die Ausstattung mehr als gut. Leider war ein Zimmer im Nebengebäude nur über eine sehr steile Wendeltreppe zu erreichen. (Ist für junge Leute okay, aber für 60+ beschwerlich). Küchenausstattung mit Gasherd, Spülmaschine und großer Kühl- Gefrierkombination optimal, leider...

“We had a fantastic week in this lovely villa. It really does have everything you could possibly need - a real home from home. Lots of lovely spaces inside and out to enjoy. We loved sitting out in the evenings having dinner and we’re lucky to be there during the Perseus meteor shower and saw lots of shooting stars in the clear skys. We also ate out in the lovely town of Cortona - la buccia with beautifully presented food and a couple of more casual restaurants which were also excellent. The...

“Our family is always looking for a Villa with swimming pool where we can gather during our holiday. What a great place Villa Messi is, and what great host Dante and Messi is. Good advice and help regarding everything from wine tasting to car rentals. We really recommend this Villa, and the add really gives a fair representation of the place. Family Thorsen”

“Casa Sorbello was just what we were hoping for - a comfortable home in quiet, secluded surroundings with the added bonus of a generous swimming pool. The extensive views were unexpectedly glorious and we could have spent the whole time drinking in the environment if it hadn't been for all the many interesting places to visit. Our hosts were wonderfully welcoming and helpful whilst respecting our privacy. Thank you.”

“Ottima comunicazione e procedure di check-in e check-out. Lo spazio esterno e’ ben curato, la piscina e’ piccolina, ma comunque importante per rinfrescarsi e rilassarsi e ha uno spazio dedicato all’idromassaggio molto apprezzato! La casa si trova all’interno del paese, ma e’ comunque abbastanza silenziosa. Interni “vintage” e arredamento un po’ datato, ma nel complesso siamo stati bene... promossa!!!”

“Large and comfortable and very secluded tuscan country house. Spacious rooms, very good for large families or groups of friends. The house is well equipped. Big garden and pool are strong points for summer stays. Host was always available to meet our needs. We spent great times. Arrivederci!”

“This was a beautiful property well maintained and perfectly located in a historic building. The breakfast was delicious, Ricardo the host was wonderful and our room was space and comfortable! The only comment was without A/C the windows needed to stay open and the street was loud.”

“Ci siamo trovati veramente bene. Casa attrezzatissima,, vista meravigliosa, posizione incantevole. Piscina tenuta benissimo. Oltre tutto abbiamo avuto il bellissimo piacere di ricevere visita di una volpe, cosa per noi del tutto insolita, ma che ci ha fatto immenso piacere.”

“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.”
