Built on a hill, this stone town house is right outside the old city walls (dating from the 2nd century B.C.) of Historical Centre of Cortona, an old city founded by The Etruscans, the ancient civilization that built Rome. Cortona is conveniently located in a 1,15 hrs drive from Florence, 2 hrs from Rome and Pisa International Airports, 30 mins from Perugia (in Umbria) and Arezzo, 45 mins from Siena, 35 mins from Montepulciano, 1hr from Assisi (Umbria) e Montalcino (where the famous 'Brunello' wine comes from)...all the best sights of the famous Tuscan countryside, with yellow sunflower fields in the summer and multi colored trees in the spring!

Cortona is famous as the inspiration and setting for the book Under the Tuscan Sun, (that later became a movie) written by USA writer-novelist Francis Mayes. It also homes a branch of the Georgia University - USA, for artistic matters, since 1970.

For the BEST Visit to Tuscany
I spent weeks researching towns in Tuscany, and scoured vrbo for places to stay. We got so lucky securing Vanna's place - as we learned later this listing is usually booked well in advance. We stayed for a full month and were perfectly accommodated in every way. Situated just outside the walls of Cortona, and just above Camuccia, this perfect flat is in the ideal location. It's newly and beautifully renovated, equipped with nice linens and a well-resourced kitchen. Plenty of parking, pin-drop quiet, dark for sleeping, but sunny during the day, wonderful mattresses and ideal water pressure. We ate all of our meals on the patio with an idyllic view. And Vanna is the perfect host who quickly became our friend! She is quick to respond, and met our every request. Her cooking class is phenomenal and she makes you feel like family. I will definitely return and would not consider staying anywhere else!

Fabulous Cortona
The property was just as advertised and all that we hoped for. Our private patio with a view was a delight for lazy afternoons or evenings, enjoying the Tuscan warmth and beautiful light and the privacy was perfect. Our hostess was extremely helpful and went above and beyond as we had a minor emergency and she insisted on helping every step of the way. An excellent location to visit several of the other surrounding towns.

Fantastic property and wonderful host!
This is a beautiful little apartment, perfectly situated at the base of historic center in Cortona. The apartment was very clean and included everything we needed to enjoy our stay (A/C too). Our host was extremely friendly and accommodating, and we highly recommend this property.

Best of the best
The property is top notch. Completely renovated only a year or so ago. It is perfect. Very beautiful and functional. Great view! Comfy bed. We ended up oversleeping every day! Vanna was an amazing host and wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed and really cared about us. (Side note, if you are considering Cortona versus other locations we were very impressed by the friendliness of the people and the very high quality of the local food). We will be back!

Fabulous apartment and hosts!
The apartment is exactly as advertised with great views across the valley and a 7 minute walk to Cortona's main square and restaurants. The apt is beautifully appointed with everything you need and was warm and comfortable. The terrace is great for morning coffee or evening wine overlooking the amazing valley. Mirko was great to deal with and the booking process was quick and easy. Vanna was incredibly helpful and even gave us some of the Easter cheese bread she baked! She answered all of our questions during the stay and recommended her favorite restaurants in Cortona. We felt welcome and cozy in their home away from home. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Lovely apartment great location. Vanna was a great host ,very welcoming and informative
Very comfortable I particularly loved the terrace and the view first thing in the morning. Cortona is a very beautiful town with many lovely restaurants. The bistro Cortona is amazing and is a must in my opinion.

Highly recommend this gem
La Terraza is perfect. I was there for a month and found Cortona most charming and to be a great place from which to day-trip the Tuscan hill towns and then come back and walk to one of the terrific restaurants up the hill from the apartment, of which there are many all over town. Vanna is a perfect hostess, and I felt as if I left Cortona with a new friend. Warm and generous, accommodating and welcoming, she shares her family property with pride and aplomb. I recommend her cooking class absolutely, as it was a family favorite and highlight of our time there. Some details: parking was not a problem and I usually found a good spot within a block or two. The view is fabulous from the small terrace, just as pictured, as is everything else. Comfortable beds and pillows, all very clean. The apartment has recently been renovated, and the modern niceties (kitchen, bathrooms, ceiling fans, AC) are meshed seamlessly into the historic property...a real plus. Go if you can and stay as long as you are able.
