Villa Il Nido is a lovely villa that you and your family will enjoy. It is a very modern, clean 3-bed/3-bath unit that can easily accommodate 6-8 people comfortably. There is a fully contained kitchen to cook a few meals on those days when relaxing between trips to our towns/regions. The villa is in the Alpinnes Mountain and is within walking distance to the town of Castel Garafagnana. There is a lovely swimming fountain, green grass to walk/lay and enjoy, and the hosts are very warm and friendlyly. Pablo and his wife are very sweet and add to the appeal of Villa Il Nido. They have a very nice garden and may bring over fresh vegtables for one of those "home" cook meal days.
My family and I truly enjoyed the villa.

Our group of 13 had a wonderful stay at the villa. My personal highlights were the cooking lesson and the hot tub which was always ready to hop into. The villa was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Sitting on the terrace in the evenings was also very enjoyable. The location was very tranquil and the owners of the villa were very approachable and friendly.

The place was beautiful and the views were spectacular.......the owner's family sent us a homemade raspberry torte on our arrival and TIARA MI SU to end our visit....both of which were DELICIOUS!!! Owner answered all of our questions and concerns promptly. One minor problem, which hopefully will be easily resolved, is that we were to meet the owner at 6:00 a.m. on the day of our departure to receive our security deposit back. We waited until 6:15 and then had to leave for the airport without taking care of this. Can you provide me with an E-Mail address for him so I can contact him. Would definitely recommend the place for a relaxing and memorable trip!

My family had a wonderful time at Cocciaio. We made full use of the wonderful pool and surrounds as it was so hot when we were there. The house was really great and very well set up. The beds were very comfortable and the chairs and furniture were also very comfortable. It was a lovely house to stay in and the family that owned the house were very friendly and helpful. The only drawback was that the house was 1km from the town of Cortona and was uphill to the town, but we managed to find a shortcut which we took advantage of all the time. With all the uphill walking we all became a lot fitter and healthier.

Casa Simona was a delight. Although the road to the property is more of a rough track at the end of it sits Casa Simona with the most glorious views over the Tuscan countryside. The villa itself is lovely, very clean and with modern fittings. It would possibly not be suitable for very small children as the stairs to the first floor are stone tiled. Simona and her husband are lovely and were very concerned that we enjoyed out stay. All the essentials were there for us, coffee, tea, milk, water, bread and even some chocolates, biscuits and beer. Very thoughtful and very welcoming especially as we didn't arrive until about 5.30pm. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it at all. The only downside we felt was that another bathroom would be useful if there were 2 couples and as the temperature was 30C we would have loved a fan in the bedroom. If we were in the area again we would go back to Casa Simona.
