A fantastic well maintained property in an ideal location
We are a family of five and found the property ideal for our needs, the children occupied the first floor whilst mum and dad occupied the ground floor, both have a kitchen area and lovely bathrooms with ample space to dine together on the ground floor. The property was clean and is very well maintained.
The owner Giorgio met us on our arrival and managed to answer any questions we had with the help of google translate and actually came to the property every morning to clean the pool, this was around 7am so we didn't often see him but found it helpful as on a few occasions i got up especially to ask for recommendations for parking in Florence or good local restaurants.
Given the location of the property i would say a car is essential, views of Cortona can be seen from the property which is only a 10 mins drive away and a beautiful place to spend the evening. We visited Siena and Florence for a day each during our stay using the park and ride (tram) for Florence and found it all very easy and also drove down to Bangi di San Filippo to bathe in the free thermal pools (recommend) which took about 1 hour. There is also a designer shopping outlet about 25 mins away that is also worth a visit.
There are plenty of grocery stores and restaurants in Camucia which is just a few minuets drive away but we found ourselves eating at a restaurant Giorgio recommended called Hostaria Pizzeria La tufa which was excellent and very reasonably priced.
The pool, bbq, garden and hot tub was all fantastic, there were a couple of evening we could of done with air conditioning but other than that i can not fault anything and would/will book again.
