Our 2-week stay at Molbena House near the amazing town of Cortona couldn't have been better. The house is large and spead out over 3 floors, with all bedrooms having en-suite shower rooms and amazing views over the coutryside from it's lofty location. There is plenty of entertaining space and outdoor space for alfresco eating, including a good sized bbq. We visited in July / August and were two families; 4 adults and 4 children and eveyone enjoyed themselves. The swimming pool is a good size with 4 sun loungers and deck chairs to relax on. The old town of Cortona and all it's restaurants is just a 15 minute drive away and so is Camucia where you will find supermarkets and more places to eat. We especially enjoyed Pizzeria San Lazzaro in Camucia and the restaurants in Cortona are too many to mention. We also visited Locanda Del Molino a wonderful restaurant in nearby Montanare. Would be great to have a slightly larger fridge as our water, beer, wine and milk took up plently of space and the wi-fi is generally only available of the ground floor, but these two minor points certainly didn't detract from our stay. Molbena House is truly a great and relaxing place to spend a few weeks in the Tuscan sun.
Huge countryhouse with lots of space inside and out
A very spacious house with spacious and very clean and airconditioned rooms, fresh sheets and towels, an enormous swimmingpool, great views over the valley, perfect surroundings with beautiful villages and to top it off a visit of a small fox late at night: all great! The long, steep and slippery climb is something to consider for small cars or cars pulling trailers and the kitchen could use an update, but that's minor compared to all the advantages.
