New Review Submitted for La Piccola Terrazza located in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 27th of September 2014.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
In perspective this rental is a charming, ultra clean unit which is part of a larger building. However, the accessibility of the unit is very misrepresented and other features are not as described. "First floor" would seem to indicated easy access to the unit. In truth it is a long 25 plus stone stairs DOWN followed by two full marble staircases UP before entering the unit (no rails on the final set up stairs. We are two quite active 60-70 year olds (with aging knees) and the challenge of suitcases etc. (we travel light) was not insignificant. Yes, this is a hill town and stairs should be expected but I scoured rental descriptions to get something reasonable in this regard and this missed the mark for me. (The owner lives in the unit below and was helpful with bags--parking is also a major challenge)--but he does not speak English and not the "official" agent.

In addition, we very much wanted WiFi access in the unit and this was not available as advertised (it is in some bars/cafes at the top of those stone stairs, but not the same as in the unit.) Also , there is no tub as advertised. Finally, those with problem backs beware, the bed in master bedroom is very soft.

The villa was more spectacular than the website pictures showed. Views were spectacular. Hire a chef & car with driver. Bring your own soap (kitchen & bath) and pool towels. We had a fabulous time - best vacation ever.

Rental Date: Saturday 20th of September 2014.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Massi A. the only drawback that we encountered was that our host did not speak any English, we did communicate with her, but it would of been easier if there was an English speaking person around to ask questions too. the Wi-Fi connection was spotty... The views were awesome and we did have awonderful time

The perfect villa in Tuscany...Villasenaia
We just returned from three weeks in Italy and the highlight of our vacation was a week at Villasenaia. If you are wanting to spend time in a villa in Tuscany while you explore the surrounding cities, then you can stop searching because I have found the perfect place for you. It is Villasenaia located in the quaint village of Castiglione Fiorentino. This 4 bedroom villa is gorgeous, roomy, and has every amenity to make you feel at home. We just returned from a week at Villasenaia during September 2014. The host, Guiseppi, is most personal and accommodating. His charming wife, Laura, treated us to homemade pan dulce one morning!
The villa is set on a hillside overlooking the countryside. At night the entire city of Castiglione Fiorentino lights up in the near distance right in front of you. What a sight while you're sitting by the pool sipping local homemade wine. Local restaurants serve delicious and reasonably priced dinners. Stock your kitchen for cooking at home or enjoy a panini and gelato in town. Guiseppi can even arrange a cooking lesson at the Villa to give you the experience of making your own fresh pasta.
You can easily take car day trips to Siena, Montelpuciano, Arrezo. You can catch a one hour train into Florence if you would rather not drive. All in all, this is a splendid place to rest under the Tuscan sun.
