Casa Samuela - perfectly located, only a couple of minutes walk from the center
On the third floor of a building in the city center, Casa Samuela is an apartment where ancient and modern coexist in complete harmony. You can feel it from the colors and furniture used for the decor. The entrance staircase leads to a very bright, spacious, and welcoming living room furnished with a sofa and two very comfortable armchairs placed in front of a beautiful stone fireplace. The small terrace is a rarity in downtown Cortona so it makes it perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or an outdoor breakfast. The kitchen, small but functional and equipped with all the necessary appliances, completes the living area of this two-level apartment. The internal wooden staircase leads to the sleeping area, where there is a double bedroom, a single bedroom with a French bed, and a bathroom with a shower.
This apartment was perfect for my sister and me. The location couldnât be more ideal. The team that welcomed us was warm and helpful and the welcome bottle of wine was a lovely touch. I would definitely keep this place in mind for future travel to Cortona (one of the most special places Iâve ever been). Thank you for a lovely stay!
The city and property were very nice. It was a rocky start. The first attendant could not open the door to the property, she had to go back to the office and get someone else to do it. Also, the toilet did not flush the first day, it was fixed the next day. Also, we were not aware we had to climb 50 steps (with large suitcases)to get to our unit. Other than those instances. It was a good stay.
The disappointment starts with the pictures - they have been altered to add WAY more light than the property actually gets. The "balcony with views of Cortona" is a small space sandwiched tightly by 4 walls that is uncomfortable. And while we're fit folks, the steepness of the entry steps and two more stairways in the apt get old fast - for a day or two fine, but we were to stay a week+ and we left with a week to go. In fairness, it's in good shape and the management is hightly engaged but it was a costly mistake for us.
