A small cottage in authentic Tuscany. Serves 4

A small cottage in authentic Tuscany. Serves 4

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time during our holiday at Casina del Bibo! Anna Maria and Lorella gave us a warm welcome, they surprised us with wine, fresh fruits and lots of local products. The appartment was very clean and comfortable, the airconditioning worked perfectly and there were mosquito screens installed in most of the windows. The location of the appartment is ideal. We went to a lot of different cities like Arezzo, Siena, Montepulciano and Perugia during our stay of 14 days. The town of Cortona, which is 15 minutes by car, was very nice to visit for a few times. The appartment is in an a quiet village, but many facilities like a supermarket and restaurants are close by. Our stay at Casina del Bibo surpassed our expectations and we would recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable quiet place to enjoy their holiday, but who also likes to explore the surrounding towns and countryside."

Relais Villa Baldelli

8/10 Good
"The property was relaxing and quaint. The pool was nice and the overall Tuscan country vibe and decor was nice. The location was good and the rooms were spacious. It was not walkable to anything but if you have a rental car the location is great because Cortana is a wonderful town. The staff is kind and responsive however I had an issue with the cleaning ladies where they disposed of thing of my mine thinking it was trash. I found it odd that cleaning folks would take it upon themselves to touch my things as all. I asked them to not to clean our room anymore and they did it again the next day due to poor internal communication. It was annoying to deal with that but still I would say the staff tried their best to be helpful. Lastly, I was not a fan of their breakfast. They had the basics that were heavily rooted in sweets and pork both of which I don’t eat. They made fresh plain eggs but some veggies and maybe turkey meat would have been nice. Overall, for the price point this place is good."

10/10 Excellent
"Staying here was amazing. We were in the heart of Cortona, which was so peaceful compared to busier areas of Italy. Very authentic. Sylvia made the entire stay wonderful. The hospitality here is unmatched. The food is delicious. The rooms are cute and the view...the view is stunning. I am so happy we decided to stay here!! I would 10/10 recommend. Taxis were hard to find, but Silvia drove us whenever we couldn't find a taxi. She is so friendly and welcoming. On top of that, we had a lovely breakfast buffet every morning. I enjoyed sitting outside looking at the view while eating. Their cappuccinos were fantastic, and the table is already set up before you arrive. Dinner is the same way. It's the little touches like that that made the stay top tier. They pay attention, get to know their guests, and genuinely love what they do. Also, the food was AMAZING. I love that they have their own bistro there and that we didn't have to plan where to go eat a couple of nights during our visit. It was easily my favorite restaurant in Italy. I cannot compliment Locanda Agli Amici enough, but especially Sylvia, who made the stay so warm and welcoming. I hope we get to visit again."
