Just perfect!
Villa is excellent. Although some scope for improvements: better equipped new kitchen; recycling bins for glass and plastic bottles.
Great location, an excellent place to stay or travel the area.
Excellent location within walking distance to Cortona. Spacious and comfortable authentic facilities. Lovely to have views and pool (although some judicial pruning would be beneficial). Would recommend as a holiday villa.
