This villa is perfectly located between Camucia and Cortona- so easy to access. The accommodations were pristine and the views are amazing! There were 3 couples and we all had our own space and could also gather together - whether it be at the dining room table or outdoors overlooking the view! We all enjoyed this villa and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone! read less

Pool and BBQ area great too - although BBQ is charcoal not gas. The location was very good between Camucia and Cortona in a rural setting. The road is not numbered and the place was initially hard to find. However if you have access to (Hidden by Airbnb) maps you should be OK read less

It was a gorgeous and clean villa - perfect for a large group bc there were separate living spaces, large rooms
and plenty of bathrooms for such a large group. Andrea was very quick at responding when we had questions about the stay and also when I had to alter the check in because my husband and I were about six hours delayed due to flight issues. This is a great location close to Cortona but also other Tuscan towns with wonderful people and small restaurants and coffee shops/bakeries. I highly recommend it! read less

Perfect accommodations for large groups or multiple families (3). The house is very clean and comfortable with all the amenities.

Breathtaking views of Camucia and Cortona from every window in the house and from any spot on the property.

Andrea was always available for questions and he was very hospitable; he made everything easy for us. Andrea arranged a beautiful dinner in the house for us and that was an amazing, memorable experience.

Five stars all the way! read less

This is the case of Villa Poggio (aka Maestà del sasso) which turned out to be a perfect stay from all points of view. We were three families with different needs and the structure already had everything and in abundance. When we asked for a favor, the host rushed to oblige. Proof that in Tuscany it is not always enough to have a beautiful structure and an open-mouthed panorama to please people. It also takes efficiency and attention to detail. And here are some to sell. read less

Andreas family villa did not disappoint. The pictures do not do this place justice... if that’s even possible. I don’t think I could have imagined how gorgeous this place was.
The flat arrangement and separate kitchens allowed for our family to stay comfortably as a group but still allowed the privacy and separation.
Andrea was able to assist and provide recommendations as needed. We had a few last minute things come up.

Can’t say enough about this place. It was clean and in a good location. Very centralized for anyone looking to make day trips to Florence, Rome, Pisa etc. read less

It lies within a walking distance from Tuscany's jewel - Cortona, and Camucia where you can get your groceries. It is a quiet and heavenly island in an otherwise quite busy area. The big house divided in three separated sections can easily accommodate 14 people without making them feel crowded. We've been there as three families and we felt great having plenty of space to spend time together as well as to find some privacy and solitude. The garden of Villa Poggio is beautiful and separated from neighbors with olive groves - full privacy is guaranteed. The views from the garden up the hills on Cortona are spectacular as well as down the hills to the valley. I had high expectations as I've rented Villa Poggio for my wedding. It exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place, and it's host Andrea to anyone looking for a wonderful Tuscan experience. read less

He left us a plate of delicious pastries and bottles of wine upon arrival. He advised us of good restaurants. He was very nice to give us a ride to the station when we departed.

The home was lovely and a great size and space for our large group. The key situation was sometimes a little difficult as each key opened a separate part of the house but it wasn't a big problem. There were not a lot of places to hang towels but the radiators worked well and also dried the towels well. It was quite rainy when we were there so it was a bit humid. I would request a few more kitchen towels as well.

The location was good but you definitely need a car as the walking areas are on busy streets.

Great value for the price. read less

The gardens are magnificent and the house is spotless, spacious and perfect if you have three different families but you want to vacation together but not be on top of each other all the time. There are three different entrances to three separate units but all within one structure. The outdoor tables and chairs and pool accommodated our group of 10 perfectly.
The property is located about halfway between Camucia and Cortona off a main road so you don't have a long drive to get to either town. I would go there again - no question! read less

From the secluded pool you have a classic Tuscany view of the valley below, Lake Trasimeno on the horizon, and the Medieval city above. The apartments are well furnished and decorated using local materials, furnishings and crafts. The laundry, kitchen and outside dining facilities were excellent. We used all including the charcoal Bcue! The Conad chain of grocery store is 5 minutes away in Camucia. Andrea the host and his father own and operate a landscape and garden business in Camucia 10 minutes away from the Villa. Their horticultural skills are very apparent in the wonderful lawns and gardens. They are both friendly and very helpful. A car is essential for day trips up to Cortona and its sights or nearby Siena, Castiglione, etc. google maps still show the property as Villa Poggio, even though its official web site is registered under Maestà Del Sasso. They are the same property. Thanks Andrea its clear that you are proud of what you offer your guests! read less

Cortona is very pretty and the surroundings offer a lot, both in terms of things to see and the quality of the food. The structure, however, made it difficult for us to leave! Clean, well-kept, full of every comfort, equipped with everything you need for a stay and much more! Wonderful outdoor spaces, a beautiful garden surrounded by olive trees, a gazebo for dining outside also equipped with a fireplace for barbecue, a perfect swimming pool, equipped with sun beds, deck chairs and umbrella. Large interior spaces and well-kept in every detail. Everything obviously done with the aim of making people stay at their best. The owners, very kind, in addition to offering us wine, also brought us a bottle of their oil and the stoves to ward off mosquitoes (there are also mosquito nets on doors and windows).
Truly a dream property. read less

There are gardens surrounding the villa and small orchards as well. The outside spaces were so inviting and we all found ourselves there for coffee early in the day and often ended the day outside as well after we returned from the most amazing day trips. The Villa itself was spacious and everyone was happy with their rooms. Of note, there are three separate spaces and you can’t go from one to the other without going outside. This actually worked fine for us but somehow I wasn’t expecting that. Each space has bedrooms, bathrooms and a kitchen.
Andrea arranged for 2 chefs to cook a birthday dinner for us one evening. What a great meal!
We loved being so near Cortona and would reccomend staying here. read less

We all stayed in the same place by had our own space and separate units.

The Villa has 3 seperate units in it which was perfect for us. Two of the units have two bedrooms, while one has 3 bedrooms. My family of 5 stayed in the unit with 3 bedrooms.

From arriving to having the gates on the driveway open, the villa, the views, and the grounds are all amazing. It is very close to town, and there is a co-op supermarket which proved very handy. A lot of essentials had been left by previous guests (laundry detergent, charcoal, etc) to get you going, we did end up buying some more and leaving it for the next guests. The rooms are spacious and clean. The air conditioning works well.

The grounds are amazing, the pool had beautiful views. There was a lovely covered outdoor table that could easily seat all 11 of us. A charcoal brick BBQ which we made great use of...

My parents had great communication with the host. We all loved it!

All in all, this is probably the most scenic place we stayed at. We haven's stopped speaking about it since we got back. read less

Three flats each contain bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. Even more than we would expect from photos, the property outside is filled with colorful flowers and fruit trees. Parking on the grounds is plentiful. The drive up to the gates of the city of Cortona took only 5 minutes. The pool is a siesta heaven. The AC at night was perfect for a good night's sleep. For a large family or group looking to explore the region, this place is perfect. read less

Ein- und auschecken war problemlos möglich. Die Inhaber waren sehr hilfsbereit und nett.
Die Zimmer sind etwas unterschiedlich, aber alle haben einen gutes Comfortlevel. 4 Zimmer haben Doppelbetten, die anderen jeweils 2 Einzelbetten (kann man aber leicht zusammenschieben). Alles wird sehr sauber übergeben, unter der Woche wird nicht geputzt (ist aber bei einer Villa auch nicht üblich).
Es sind genug Supermärkte in der Nähe, die mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichbar sind.
In das Haus kommen, dank sehr guter verschiebarer Fliegengitter, keine Mücken rein. Für draußen sollte man sich aber mit ausreichend Mückenspray eindecken (ist aber üblich in der Toskana).
Schattenplätze (im August) am Pool sind begrenzt. Mehr als ein Sonnenschirm wäre wünschenswert. read less
