Mikael, the owner of the property, was absolutely the best! From his first email, to the day we departed, he was very attentive to all of our needs. We drove from Rome and agreed to meet him at a parking lot on the north side of Cortona. Originally, we had an ETA to meet there at 2PM, got lost, but stayed in contact with Mikael and we finally met him at 3:30 PM where he was happily waiting for us. We followed him up a beautiful hill on VERY narrow streets and he ushered our bags in the house and took the car to the free parking area. Mikael told us the story of Saint Magharita of Cortona, who once resided in the house! In the kitchen, we found a bottle of wine and some snacks and cold water in the fridge. Kitchen had all of the essentials like salt, pepper, olive oil etc…
Pictures of the house on the site do not do it justice. In the ancient, yet beautifully remodeled home, you will find very comfortable furnishings and decor that took our breath away. The views from the kitchen and upstairs bedroom were stunning! We appreciated Mikael’s kindness and loved Cortona and we will be back.
Five star plus!!
