It’s a place that we will remember and talk about. Andrea is a fantastic host, very accommodating. Super courteous. If you are looking for an authentic Tuscan experience, this is the place, the villa, the town and the surrounding area is just magical. read less

The host is extremely helpful and friendly, the accommodation is equipped with everything one might need including dishwasher, iron, etc, the rooms are spacious and luxurious, and the views are stunning. A contact of the owner (Helena) cooked dinner for us, which is highly recommended. We accidentally broke something at the property, which the host took really well. Overall an extremely pleasant experience!
😞 - The double bed moved a lot, making sleeping less comfortable. Some lights in swimming pool would be a nice finishing touch and extend the use of the pool in the evening. These are details, the place is amazing. read less

The pictures do not do it justice! When we arrived, our entire party of eight was astounded by the beauty of the grounds, the character and cleanliness of the rooms, and the view of Cortona. The villa is really three separate villas...each one a complete living space. We were originally going to be thirteen people, so, with our reduced number, we had tons of space. Even if the other five of our group had come, we would have all fit very comfortably. The bedrooms range from large to huge; and the bathrooms are all updated nicely.
The hosts made check in a breeze, responded immediately to questions about the villa, and were gracious in offering recommendations for restaurants.
You'll need a car to get to/from the train station, Cortona, and the (excellent) Conad grocery. We also used the car to travel to Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, and Arezzo...all quick, easy, and beautiful driving trips.
We LOVED this villa, and we hope to return. read less

This wasn't made clear in the description. That said, it is well furnished and very comfortable. The pool is clean and and the setting is spectacular with views of Cortona and the valley. Altho the villa is only a mile from Cortona, the winding road up to the town is very busy and not suitable for walking. You absolutely need a car for a stay here as taxis in the area are scarce. read less

Upeassa huvilassa oli kolme erillistä huoneistoa, joissa jokaisessa keittiöt ja 1-2 kylpyhuonetta. Kauniissa puutarhassa oli suuri pöytä katoksessa, uima-allas sekä näkymät Cortonaan ja Camuciaan. Siisti ja hyvin hoidettu kokonaisuus.

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

Everything was absolutely amazing! Very beautiful and large villa with great views.
There's no such thing

Het mooie uitzicht. De rust. Veel ruimte
De ontvangst was heel kort. Heel weinig uitleg gekregen

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

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

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

The Villa is beautiful. We enjoyed breakfasts and often dinners on our outdoor terrace, swims in the pool and wonderful views of the countryside and Cortona. For our second week fresh flowers arrived along with delightful pastries. Needless to say it was hard to leave and we all wish to return again soon!

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

Fantastic location for Cortona and Tuscany in general. Lovely and well equipped house. Very clean and has a new feel to it.

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

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
