We had a very happy stay at this house in the country with our two friends. It is ideally located within an hour’s drive of interesting sites and historic towns. The place and its surroundings allowed us a restful and pleasant respite from our busier daytrips. The house was comfortable, beds were very good and the garden provided a peaceful setting with a choice of sitting and lounging areas. Louise was lovely, an excellent hostess who responded quickly to our questions and needs.

A Truly Authentic Tuscan Villa

We made many lifetime memories in this idyllic, very authentic villa over a terrific week. Louise was extremely helpful in helping us prepare for our stay, and her recommendations for restaurants, wine tastings, and visits around the area were spot on. Best of all was her recommendation to secure a local chef (Elena) to run a 1/2 day cooking class at the villa - an absolute highlight!! Whether it was lazing by the pool or eating amongst the trees in the garden, everything felt exactly as it should in this little paradise.

We had a lovely holiday at Villa Rasenna. Louise is a great host and was very helpful and replied very quickly to any queries. The kitchen is well equipped and the sitting area comfortable and homely. We made good use of the pool. We enjoyed a great meal in the villa cooked by Elena and a local wine tasting and pizza in the village. There are lovely walks from the villa in the local countryside. Would definitely recommend a holiday and we would love to return. Thanks Louise.

Tranquil Tuscan Escape

Our recent stay at this Tuscan villa was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the owner, Louise. The location was simply breathtaking, nestled amidst lush greenery and offering beautiful views of the surrounding Tuscan hillside. The villa itself, a beautifully restored 300-year-old farmhouse, exuded charm and history at every turn. The rooms were comfortable, tastefully decorated with antiques and paintings Louise had collected from friends and loved ones. The bathrooms were modern and clean and kitchen came well-equipped. The living room with the original stone fireplace was a great space to relax in the evening. The peace and tranquility of the surroundings were truly enchanting. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor area with private pool and the many shaded outdoor seating areas around the villa to curl up with a book. We took walks along the country road towards the nearby church, immersing ourselves in the natural beauty and many olive groves that surrounded us. The location of the villa was ideal for exploring the Tuscan region. Cortona, a charming Etruscan town, was just a 10 minute drive away, and other picturesque hill towns like Montepulciano were easily accessible. Overall, our stay at this property was nothing short of magical. It offered the perfect balance between relaxation and exploration, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic Tuscan experience

Enchanting

First of all-Cortona and the surrounding towns are an absolute must see while in Tuscany. This location is a center point for a short drive to various beautiful locations. The 300+Villa was perfect for myself and 4 girlfriends. The bathrooms were new and a plus. (Request additional linens) The steps are very narrow so be careful coming up and down. The property is peaceful and remote. There was some construction on the property while visiting but didn’t interfere with our stay. They do receive a lot of rain in the spring so be prepared for that. The owner Louise was wonderful and was very helpful with suggestions. She is very available and lives on the property. Sitting on the porch each morning with breakfast doesn’t get any better. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms are decorated with antiques. We loved all of the unique artwork and the story of the home. You are in the country so it’s a challenging drive to the house. The road needs better signage to the villa especially if you’re coming in at night. I would recommend a small rental car to maneuver on small roads and the driveway. It wasn’t nearly warm enough to swim and isn’t included in the rental. That was really the only disappointment. We hired Chef Elena to cook dinner one night- a must-she is fantastic. I highly recommend this Villa if you want to be outside the normal tourist locations. (Suggested book of towns and things to do) Would definitely return again. I love love my olive oil. Thank you Louise

Magical villa in Tuscan Countryside

This 300+ year old villa was a wonderful place for a few members of our family to relax and unwind after time in Rome and Florence and lots of sightseeing. It is near the village of Cortona, which couldn't possibly be more charming and beautiful. The villa is surrounded by trees, abundant plants and hills and has gorgeous views from every area. We dined al fresco at the table on the front porch and walked the grounds and along the country road beside the villa frequently during our stay. Unfortunately, although this property shows that a pool is included, I was charged a surcharge to "open it" prior to our arrival. It was a hard decision, since the weather in spring is variable and, sure enough, I spent 200euros for no use of the pool (cold, rainy, most of our time there). This was the only disappointment of our stay (the extra charge-nobody can do anything about the weather!). I feel if a pool is included in the description, it should be available for everyone who stays there without additional charges. Louise was very accommodating and available as needed. She was not intrusive at all, but made herself available via text and in person, if requested. She was very helpful in making recommendations when we asked and allowed our adult children to stay beyond check-out time since she didn't have guests arriving the day of their departure. Cleo the precious cat on the property and the hens were a bonus. I could have stayed here forever, truly. It was a dream come true, in spite of the weather. The rain brought out a double rainbow our very first evening there, so who can complain about that? Do yourself a favor and stay here if visiting Tuscany.

A slice of heaven on Earth!

They say save the best for last and we certainly did that on our recent 12 day vacation to Italy , after Rome and Florence we arrived for a final 5days in Tuscany at the organic farm. First of all the drive up was easy and directions given were perfect. The villa was better than the photos, if that is possible:) we were greeted by the lovely owner, Louise. She went over a few things and answered all our questions. The Villa is a beautifully restored 300 year old Farm with a wonderful history. On entering you could feel the love and it was spotless. The rooms were very comfortable and lovely bathrooms. The kitchen was very well equipped. There was a fabulous supermarket within a 10 minute drive. Wonderful walks and the views were breath taking! Thank you Louise for opening your farm house for rental so we could experience the beauty of Tuscany. Cortona is a must see also 10 min drive. We will be back for sure to this amazing home !

Idyllic property in an idyllic location

Our family of four met our friends here after a week of energetic sightseeing, and it was a wonderful spot to relax and socialize in. The house and garden reflect the love and care of the owner. I loved sitting in the garden to read, smelling the lavender and rosemary and looking up to appreciate the gorgeous views. As others have said, the shop at the end of the road has everything you need to make delicious meals. The teenagers enjoyed walking there and visiting the bar as well. Cortona was a very short drive away and the other hill towns are within easy driving distance. The ample-sized pool provides a nice respite. We especially loved our trip to Orvietto. Louise was a wonderful host, who made us feel welcome and tended to. My family is used to air conditioning and some of us were worried about not having it during a hot spell, but the thick-walled house was comfortable as long as we kept the shutters closed during the hot hours of the day. We feel very fortunate to have spent time in this lovely spot.

We were met by Louise, the owner, who immediately made us feel welcome. Louise is a wonderful host - the perfect balance of being on hand if needed, without in any way intruding on one’s peace and relaxation. She is also full of interesting ideas about trips out and of information about the history of the area, all of which we found helpful and added to our stay. The property is set in a very quiet and peaceful area with walks and great views of the valley; there is also a small, well stocked supermarket and a good pizzeria just a 15 min walk down the hill. The property itself is full of all the rustic charm one looks for in a place in Tuscany; it is also spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. Louise and her family live in the lower part of the house - although you would hardly know it as we rarely heard them - with their own access and garden. We had exclusive access to the pool which is set in its own, private part of the garden and is a good size with plenty of loungers. If you have a car, there is plenty to see in the area - Cortona, for instance, is beautiful. We had the most relaxing stay and Louise and her family were simply wonderful hosts. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property and very much hope to return.

We had a most enjoyable and relaxing stay at the organic olive farm. Our host was very gracious and kind - had a bottle of local wine, snacks and fruit waiting for us upon our arrival.

short break in Cona

Louise, the owner, was helpful from the time we booked and throughout our stay. The accommodation was as described on the Home Away site, a villa in the Tuscan/ Umbrian countryside. It has a really homely feel, all facilities you would require to cater for yourself in Italy plus an ample garden and a pool to relax outside. The location is beautiful and the family are close by should you require any support or advice. The cost is competative for the area and the house is well within driving distance for Sienna, Florence, Perugia and Arezzo . I am happy to recommend it to other travellors

Starry nights under Tuscan sky

This is a magical place to stay. I loved the light sweet scent of past fires in the wood burning stove in the living room, and spending the nights trying to identify the stars. During the day the views are unparalleled and there is a short walk to the top of the hill to a little church and great views. The house is even better than in the photos and Louise the owner couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgable of the area. If you have time Louise also has a glorious book collection. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean, and the kitchen fully stocked. The area is quiet as you would expect. There is a great pizza place at the bottom of the hill too. Thoroughly enjoyed spending my birthday here and you couldn't ask for better hospitality. Highly recommend.

The photo is actually of the other side of the house, where the owner lives. The visitor's side is equally pretty. We found everything we needed although the wifi was tricky. This is pending and will, I'm sure, be sorted soon. One review lead me to think Cortona is a short walk and said a car isn't necessary which i don't think is quite right.
