Great Tuscan Rental

This rental was amazing. The location is perfect, just a short walk up the hill to the town of Cortona. Mirko was very helpful and answered all our questions. Vanna picked us up at train station and took us back on the day we left. We also took Vanna's cooking class which was quite a treat. She used simple, easy to remember recipes so we would be able to make at home. Also we were involved in the preparation of the food. This rental was everything it was presented to be. . We will definitely stay here again when we return to Cortona..Vic and Amanda

Beautiful location in Cortona just outside of the walled center. Easily accessible with parking directly across the street. Everything was clean and bright and the living room had a beautiful view overlooking the Tuscan countryside. Communication was fast and easy. I highly recommend.

Schöne helle Ferienwohnung mit toller Aussicht bis zum Lago Trasimeno

Die Wohnung besticht durch ihre Lage am SĂŒdhang der Altstadt von Cortona. Sie ist sehr gemĂŒtlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet , alles fĂŒr den tĂ€glichen Bedarf ist in der KĂŒche vorhanden, die Betten haben sehr gute QualitĂ€t. Die Besitzerin Vanna kĂŒmmert sich liebevoll um ihre GĂ€ste und ist immer erreichbar. Mein Mann und ich waren rundum zufrieden und haben eine wunderschöne Woche hier verbracht.

BEAUTIFUL & QUAINT PLACE TO STAY!! LOCATION!

My husband and I just returned from Under the Tuscan Sun in Cortona and what a beautiful place it was! Vanna and her son Mirko are lovely. Communication is on point and always responsive. Vanna is so lovely!!! We took her cooking class and had such a memorable amazing time. I fell in love with Cortona and definitely made new friends with Vanna and her charming cousin Reynaldo. They are lovely and the apartment is so comfy and perfect for two! The morning views were mesmerizing. The kitchen had everything you needed to either make a meal or reheat the leftovers from the great restaurants in Cortona or after Vanna's yummy cooking class. The bed was comfy and the room is dark which we loved. Bathroom shower is a bit small for a big person but we are not on the big side so it worked for us. The only thing i would have wanted was more than two towels for the week. Since it was raining when we were there (November rainiest month of the year in Italy) it was difficult to get the towels to dry for next use. Other than that easy fix, the apartment was just perfect!! We will definitely be back and for much longer than a week! Cortona's walled city is just across a parking lot and so much to see do taste and experience! Miss it already!

Under the Tuscany Sun: Bellissimo!

Our hostess, Vanna , was just outstanding. She is a very warm and welcoming person and we thoroughly enjoyed her cooking class. A variety of delicious food was the reward. Our apartment was classically decorated , very comfortable, and had a fantastic view of the Tuscan countryside. We loved Cortona and this location is right across the street from the entrance gate. Highly recommend this place

Excellent location; wonderful " landlady"

We enjoyed 28 days in " Under the Tuscan Sun".The apartment is very comfortable with a small but well equipped kitchen.The location could not have been better- just outside the old walls , but within an easy walk to the town's central square, and a mere 5 minutes to the local bus stop. Mirko is very prompt to reply to emails , and his mother ( the " landlady ) is absolutely lovely , helpful and responds quickly to any minor questions , all with a big smile. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing View

Vanna, the charming proprietor of this hillside apartment, was there to meet us on our arrival. We had a car and concerns about parking,,,,turned out the apartment was directly across from a parking lot for the village of Cortona and we always found a close and safe place to park. The apartment is well appointed and we found everything in working order. The owner of this 19th century building lives in an upstairs unit and was available had we needed her for anything. Cortona is lovely with many shops and excellent restaurants. It is vertical from every direction, so I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with mobility issues. On the other hand, just outside the center of the village you will find a perfect place to walk or jog on a mile long flat path with great views of the surrounding countryside. From Cortona we took day trips to Castiglione del Lago, Perugia, and Montepulciano.

Beautiful view, convenient location

Stayed here for 8 days during our 40th anniversary trip to Italy and felt like we struck gold! The location, just outside the main gate of the city was convenient and close to parking as we rented a car for day trips to Siena, Montepulciano and the quick train ride to Florence, yet only a 5 minute walk to the main plazas of Cortona. The best part of our experience was Vana! She and her son Mirko were responsive and helpful with all aspects of our stay. We arrived to a friendly wave and “Ciao” from Vana leaning out of her window next door! Vana was a wonderful resource for local information about shopping and sightseeing and always available to answer questions if needed. Take advantage of her Italian cooking class.. it’s a wonderful chance to learn to make some delicious food and make a new friend. We will always cherish our memories of our stay, and plan to return to Under the Tuscan Sun again during our next visit! Grazie Vana and Mirko!!

Cortona was Special for Us

The property was spotless and very comfortable. Vanna was a delight. We would highly recommend the property to all. It is close to the city gates. You must stop by Birrificio Cortonese (restaurant and IPA beers) half way up the hill. Mickey and Mossimo are great hosts.

Amazing Place!!!

Staying in this apartment was everything we could have asked for. The view from the living room was even more incredible than the photo. It was ideally located just outside the walls of Cortona. Vanna was there to greet us on arrival and was available if we needed anything. I also highly recommend taking her cooking class. We learned a lot but it was really fun just to get to know Vanna and a few of the other travelers that took the class with us. It was the highlight of our stay. I can't recommend Cortona and this apartment enough. We will definitely return!!!

Loved it!

We really loved our stay at Mirko & Vanna's. The home was sweet & charming and had everything we needed. Our cooking class with Vanna was amazing. Well worth the money for the amazing meal & experience. She was sweet & helpful the whole time we were there. Since it was our first time to Italy I had many questions, and Mirko was ALWAYS fast getting back to me. They were both helpful, accommodating and welcoming. I highly recommend this home. Also, it was close to EVERYTHING! The location was PERFECT :)

“Spectacular views of Tuscan countryside from terrific apartment!”

We stayed 5 nights in this lovely apartment and it was the highlight of our 20 day trip through Italy. The apartment has everything one needs - it is clean, nicely decorated and really charming! We were greeted with a bottle of wine waiting for us in the kitchen after our hostess Vanna so kindly picked us up at the train station in Camucia. The bedroom has a wonderfully comfortable bed and storage closet, the kitchen fully equipped and a comfortable sofa bed to relax on. There is a cute terrace also available with table/2 chairs -accessible a few steps from the apartment door. Vanna offered a cooking class which we took advantage of and it was a wonderful evening of conversation, fun, food and wine! The one thing I can say that meant so much was having a hostess close by for any questions or needs we had --Vanna was just one door down and so helpful. We fully recommend "Under the Tuscan Sun" and we are already planning our return trip!

Great location, great view!

Absolutely beautiful apartment well located just outside the wall of the town. The view from the living room windows is stunning, even prettier than the picture. The apartment is very well furnished with quality fixtures. Parking was usually available across the street but a couple of times we had to park a block away. The center of town is just a long block away, but it is straight up hill. A highlight of our 2 week stay was the cooking class by Vanna, Mirko's mother. Vanna lives in the apartment next door and was very helpful in anything we needed. Overall a great experience.

Beautiful views

During our whirlwind trip throughout Italy, we took some time to stay at Under the Tuscan Sun for 4 days. It was amazing and a treat to be away from all the tourists in the large cities. Vanna welcomed us with a hug. We enjoyed exploring Cortona and the beautiful surrounding countryside of Tuscany. Free parking was very close to the apartment. Vanna made us a wonderful Tuscan meal in her private kitchen. It was a pleasure getting to know her and having her answer our every need.

Your Italian Dream Come True

Look no further if you’re on the hunt for your own little Italian hill-town fantasy. LOCATION: While on a fairly well-travelled street, the door is accessed on a side pedestrian path and the windows face the opposite direction over a magnificent view. From the apartment, you’ll need to climb uphill a bit to reach the town center, but it shouldn’t be a problem for any reasonably-fit person. COMMUNICATION: Mirko responds quickly and kindly on-line. He manages the apartments for his mother, Vanna, who stays on-site. APARTMENT: Roomy, well-equipped, modern fixtures, good bed, nicely designed. What a pleasure to sit and gaze out down the hillside in this delightful gem of a place. We did a small amount of cooking here and found it fun to purchase basic groceries in the tiny food stores in town. (Just make sure you don’t visit during their lunch break of 1:30-4:30 PM, when they’re closed. This is Italy, after all!) TRANSPORTATION: On our first visit to Cortona, we had a rental car. This time we decided to use our feet and public transportation. Vanna may offer to pick you up from the train station in Camucia if she’s free. Otherwise, she will help you reserve taxi rides from one of the local drivers to help get you around as needed. COOKING CLASS: We booked Vanna’s cooking class, which was a highlight of our time in Cortona. How many opportunities do you get to learn how to cook Italian food at the hand of an Italian grandmother? Vanna used recipes she had memorized from watching her own grandmother cook in this very location so many years ago. Vanna is a little shy about her English skills, but she actually does quite well if you speak slowly and simply and enunciate well. OVERALL: What fun we had here. Largely we attribute that to the delightful Vanna, who made us feel completely at home during our eight days in Cortona. This is an excellent value, and an opportunity of a life-time. NOTE: This apartment is just one of five owned by Mirko and Vanna in the building. I would not hesitate to rent any of their units. Just look for “Mirko T” as the contact person.

Outstanding

It is difficult to top all previous the excellent reviews but I'll try. The property description is too modest. This one bedroom apartment has an great kitchen, a comfortable bed. a good size bathroom. I wish we would have stayed a month. The view is better than the picture. The restaurants in town were very good to excellent. The town center is a short walk but you will climb a hill or two. It is a hill town. Good opportunity to burn a few calories. But the most important attribute of this property is the owners. Mirko and his mother Vanna are first and foremost high quality individuals. They are honest, affable, funny and helpful. They treat you like you are a member of their family. Make time to take a cooking lesson/dinner with Vanna. You will learn both macro and subtle techniques that will make your cooking better. Most importantly it is simply a fun evening. Take a week and do this. Don't stay in a hotel and change every 3 days. This city is centrally located to many other Tuscan cities. We had a car and enjoyed our daytime drives.

UNSURPASSED TUSCAN WARMTH AND HOSPITALITY! EXTRAORDINARY VIEWS!

It’s difficult to find words to describe the incredible experience we had staying in this LOVELY apartment, but I’ll try. First, the location is wonderful;a town gate & free parking across the street;a reasonable 5-minute walk up to town & main piazza. The few steps to the front door, alone, will immediately charm you. Upon entry you immediately sense the loving care that goes into making this space one that makes you feel as if you are entering as cherished visitor into the family’s home as opposed to renter in a rental unit. The entire apartment is immaculate, well-equipped, renovated & decorated beautifully while maintaining signs of its ancient origins & has, as the “icing on the cake,” an incomparable view. The bed is incredibly comfortable, linens crisp & snug, closet sufficient to store our clothes. LOVED that we had the option of opening the French doors to the spectacular view yet could pull the screen down to safeguard against mosquitoes at night. There is a little terrace below the French doors where you can sit & enjoy the view while sipping on a glass of Prosecco. As beautiful & comfortable as this apt was, it is eclipsed by the warmth & cordiality of Vanna & Mirko who are the heart & soul of their lovely residences. I had corresponded with Mirko over a few months & had already felt as if I had known him always. Meeting beautiful Vanna seemed a natural extension of a friendship already launched. Mirko was kind enough to pick us up at the station, & Vanna was waiting to welcome us, literally with open arms, to 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. The highlight of our visit was spending an evening with them cooking, laughing, singing & creating a wealth of beautiful memories. Vanna’s home is charming & warm, and her & Mirko’s generosity of spirit creates an incomparable ambiance imparting a true flavor of genuine Tuscan hospitality. The apt’s proximity to Cortona proper is a great boon, there is so much to explore here, but it is also an excellent base from which to visit surrounding towns. Dardano’s & Bucaccia in Cortona, & Rist Masolino in Panicale stand out as our outstanding dining experiences, though we ate great food everywhere (1 major disappointment, Il Gozzoviglio). But in the end, our trip was made especially exceptional through the warmth and solicitude of this special mom and son combo. We can’t wait to return. Mille grazie Vanna e Mirko! Baci!

Superb Apartment, wonderful view, all the right kit, Air-Con, Kitchen, Freezer, Washer etc etc

The apartment had everything. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, good storage for clothes. Washing machine did come in handy. Air conditioning, mossie guarded windows, overhead fans were all welcome in the heat we experienced. Mirko's attention to detail really makes this a comfortable home from home. Good parking nearby but also a good bus service to connect to nearby towns and the Station in Camucia. You do need a method of getting up and down to Camucia at some point.

Under The Tuscan Sun is Tops

All the marvelous things that everyone says are true. My wife and I mirror all the compliments and the view is more beautiful than the photo shows. Vanna and Mirko were fabulous as hosts - helpful, attentive, kind and thoughtful. It was very sad when we finally returned home. We miss Cortona. It is a wonderful town to explore and a perfect base to see the endless beauty of Tuscany's villages, medieval hill towns and countryside whether by car or train. If you can climb some of Cortona's steep streets you will be rewarded with spectacular views and wonderful medieval streets along the way. Restaurants, churches, shopping, and art are plentiful. We had no disappointments. Two splendid events stand out: 1. Vanna's cooking class - enormous fun and a delicious, terrific, authentic Tuscan meal. She is amazing. 2. If you dine at La Loggetta ask for the balcony. It seats two and looks over the town square and at the clock tower. It is a storybook setting. Thanks to Vanna, Mirko and the early Etruscans for this amazing spot on earth.

After reading all the previous good comments, there is not much to add except to say that they are all very true. This apartment is just perfect. What made our stay even better was the warm welcome by Vanna who made us feel like at home immediately. As she told us, she wants to treat her guests as she would want to be treated in the same situation. Many thanks Vanna for a great stay in Cortona

We spent 5 days at this wonderful little apartment in Cortona, thoughtfully and attentively hosted by Mirko and his mother Vanna. Mirko met us at the parking lot, which is conveniently located just across the street from the apartments, and oriented us to the apartment and to the sights of Cortona. The view is exceptional and looks out over the rooftops into Tuscany from the large open window in the living room. The bedroom was roomy, comfortable, and quiet and the bathroom was clean and convenient. The kitchen also looked out onto the beautiful view and was well furnished for cooking or just morning coffee. Cortona is a beautiful and historic Tuscan town, not to be missed and Mirko and Vanna's hospitality and beautiful apartment made for a perfect stay.

I'm a musician traveling the world, living between the US and Italy and I manage my family properties from wherever I am. I cherish the friendship we get to establish with our guests, that then become our friends and come back to stay with us! :-)

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

This is my family house and we owned it since ever as far as we know. My mother, grandparents and great grandparents lived here.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

A breath-taking view of the Valdichiana Valley, 2 steps away from a nice park and 5 mins walk from the Historical Centre, the 'Rugapiana' promenade with all its shops, the main square with its clock tower and flight of steps over the 'Piazza'! I also enjoy very much walking at the 'Parterre', a long tree-lined unpaved road that takes you to a Tennis court overlooking the whole Valley...priceless!!!
