I can't say enough about how much my brother and I enjoyed our stay. The owner and his family were extremely kind and helpful. It was obvious that they wanted us to be comfortable, and they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Be aware that they speak very little English, but there was ultimately no problem understanding everything we needed to know. There are no doubt more lavish places to stay, but Paradiso had everything we required, and more. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are great. There is no real sitting area, just a couch in the kitchen, but when you have the view that this place has, who wants to sit inside?

This was our second visit to Cortona and I fell in love with Santa Maria Novella when I first saw it. Having it practically in our front yard was incredible. The stone table under the grapevines was a wonderful place to relax and have a glass of wine.

It was easy to walk into town for lunch or dinner if we we not inclined to cook, and Cortona is a fascinating town to explore. Whether you like churches, museums, shopping, cafes, or just walking streets and alleys, you can find it here.

Other places that are within easy driving distance include Orvieto, Assisi, Sienna, Montepulciano, and San Gimignano. If you go to Florence, I strongly suggest you take a train. It was cheap and you don't have to worry about parking a car.

I'm almost reluctant to tell people how great this was as I'm hoping to go back and am afraid it will all be booked out with all the rave reviews, but I have to say it was an amazing place to stay - breathtaking scenery, lovely spacious and cosy apartment, fabulous grounds set in the Tuscan hills but just a short walk from the centre of San Gimignano. The only downsides were that we had trouble connecting to wifi and the Sky TV wasn't available until the last evening, but the positives definitely outweighed these. A wonderful resort, great value and definitely to be recommended.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful villa. The road was a bit of a challenge since our car was low, but worth the drive up the hill. It is decorated in tasteful Tuscan décor and we were pleasantly surprised how nice the area was. Our view was great with olive trees and the huge vineyard. We enjoyed seeing the workers actually working the land. It was located close to many small towns and wineries. Restaurants were all great and abundant.We hope to return again to this same villa.

Sehr schönes, perfekt ausgestattetes Haus in herrlicher Panoramalage. Die Einrichtung hat uns sehr gut gefallen, die Betten waren groß und sehr bequem.
