Casa le celle is a rustic farmhouse, unpretentious but full of character, located in beautiful surroundings at the end of a valley. It is surrounded on three sides by high ground the slopes of which are given over to olive groves, woodland and scrub. Casa le Celle is ideally suited to those that enjoy being in a quiet, rural location and who appreciate the natural environment. We received a friendly welcome from the owner, Mauro, who lives close by and who was a very helpful host throughout our stay â thank you, Mauro. With regard to attractions, Lake Trasimeno is just a 20-minute drive away and there are several historic and architecturally interesting towns such as Assisi, Panicale, Perugia and Spello within easy driving distance. Terontola-Cortona station is a 10-minute drive away from where direct train services go to Florence, Naples and Rome. On a practical note, there are supermarkets and shops in Camucia and numerous restaurants in the historic centre of Cortona. Our preference, though, for eating out was to go to Tuoro sul Trasimeno. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return to Casa le Celle if visiting this part of Italy again.

The perfect place for those who want to relax in beautiful Tuscany. The typical charming Italian house has all the comforts and necessities. The rooms are larger than the photos show. The location between two mountains makes the house completely private. It is quiet and completely surrounded by nature. There is a terrace for both morning and evening. The pool, located in the beautiful garden, offers cooling on hot days. The location is also perfect for those who want to explore the region. Cities such as Pisa, Florence, Siena, Assisi are a stone's throw from the house. Cortona at 10 minutes drive is also a daily hit!
The host, Mauro, is the icing on the cake. He finds the perfect balance between being present where needed and absent to respect your privacy. On arrival, he has prepared 2 tapas platters and a bottle of wine. You are truly welcomed and made to feel at home. We have been to many places, but casa le celle has captured our hearts. Mauro, thank you for a perfect vacation, we will definitely come back.
Overall we had a wonderful stay! This property is very charming and in an ideal location for exploring Tuscany. It was exactly what we were looking for in terms of a traditional Tuscany house to serve as a home base for our trip. The property itself is beautiful with fruit and olive trees surrounding it and flowers on the grounds. The house is very roomy with many places to sit outside and big bedrooms, with a giant kitchen table. Note that there is no AC (as is typical in Italy) - but there were plenty of fans in the house and in the evening the air is much cooler for sleeping. The pool was wonderful and was a lifesaver for us, as we were there during a heatwave. The host, Mauro, was very accommodating and friendly and provided us with recommendations for shops and restaurants.
The location of the house could not be more perfect for exploring the Tuscany area. It is only a 10 minute drive to Cortona, which is a lovely town up on a hilltop with tons of great restaurants and cafes, and sights to see. It is also located very close to Siena, Montelpulciano, and Montalcino and a beautiful lake. There are several supermarkets in the nearby town and you can buy anything you need there. The house itself is outside of the main town, so not "walkable" to cafes or restaurants. We would definitely recommend and look forward to another stay there at some point in the future.
Wunderbare Familienferien und nicht zuletzt auch wegen Mauro - unserem Gastgeber - der freundlich, aufmerksam und sehr hilfsbereit war. Wer entspannen und entschleunigen will findet hier den richtigen Platz.
Frutto della attenta ristrutturazione di un edifico storico, la villa Ăš disposta su due piani ben distribuiti. La sua posizione consente di visitare agevolmente vaste zone della bassa Toscana dellâUmbria, per poi godere della quiete e della tranquillitĂ che la casa ti trasmette. Mauro, il proprietario, sempre gentile e disponibile.
We were a group of 8 people and stayed here for one week. In the house was everything we needed for a good time and the property is very beautiful and has lots of different spots to hang out. The pool was also great. The host is very kind and was always there to help us.
Ho soggiornato presso villa Le Celle con la mia compagna e il nostro gruppo di amici, un totale di 9 persone.
La casa Ăš decisamente ampia, molto bella. La disposizione delle camere permette alle coppie di mantenere la propria privacy. Vi Ăš la presenza di uno spazio esterno in cui mangiare.
La piscina ad uso esclusivo Ăš decisamente uno dei punti di forza, ampia abbastanza da ospitare un gruppo come noi, magari troppo profonda per chi ha bambini piccoli.
La villa Ăš situata in un posto isolato, l'ultimo tratto di strada che giunge alla casa Ăš sterrato, ma a pochi minuti di macchina si trovano i servizi di qualsiasi necessitĂ .
Il proprietario Ăš una persona gentile e alla mano, di una buona disponibilitĂ .
Nella proprietĂ sono presenti un gatto e un cane di grossa taglia (buono e di una dolcezza particolare)
Il nostro soggiorno Ăš quindi stato ottimo, nulla da poter segnalare in maniera negativa.
Cosa dire, Mauro Ăš una fantastica persona alla mano, sua sorella un ottima cuoca, il casolare di famiglia Ăš in una zona collinare immerso nel verde e nella pace, ben tenuto. I 4 bambini si sono sbizzarriti tra corse, urla e tuffi nella piccola ma necessaria piscina, per questa settimana di agosto.
Serve la macchina per spostarsi ma in una mezza giornata si visitano comodamente Pienza e Montepulciano per dire, in 10 minuti si arriva nella suggestiva Cortona e in 15 sul lungolago di Castiglione del Lago.
Bellissima esperienza!
Grazie Mauro!
We had a pleasant time at the nice old house. The place has a lot of space and even with a bunch of people there are enough littleS places to have a quiet time for themselves. Mauro was a very nice and helpful host, and his sister cooked Tuscan food for us - delicious!
Das Haus ist wunderbar, liebevoll und nett eingerichtet, schöne RĂ€ume, man fĂŒhlt sich gleich wohl.
Der Pool ist nett gelegen, eine kleine Urlaubsoase.
Und Mauro ist ein reizender und groĂzĂŒgiger Gastgeber, der stets unaufdringlich um das Wohl seiner GĂ€ste bemĂŒht ist und die Anlage in gutem Zustand hĂ€lt. Wir haben uns wunderbar erholt und die Zeit sehr genossen. Liebe GrĂŒĂe an Mauro!
This vacation was about seeing local/rural Italy. I have been 12 other times before, but always to the key cities. This time I wanted a central place to explore. This farmhouse was perfectly located between Rome & Florence and lots of small towns to visit -- one each day. The owner, Mauro (who lives just next door) was wonderful and went out of his way to help whenever possible. The bedrooms are large with a nice living room on the 2nd floor, big dining room table -- washer (drying rack) and even a dishwasher.
A couple things to know: there is no AC but unless there is a heat wave, there is no need. Fans and windows with cross ventilation bring in cool evening breeze. Also, there is no wifi in the house, but there are spots outside (near Mauro's house) that work just fine.
My experience there was just what I wanted a typical Tuscan "casa" that gave me the "live like a local" experience. And this time I was able to see so many wonderful places that had gone overlooked before. Oh yes, you must have a car, but of course that is the best way to get off the beaten track.
This home is so charming. We had an amazing time spending a week here with the whole family. There is so much space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. There is WiFi available, but only outside near the owners home.
I was born in Rome and 30 years ago, I found in this place a beautiful place for my eyes and my soul, green, peace, forest, animals and calm. I made a vacation-house for work and for give the same sensation at the guest. My passion is painting and writing, my paintings are exhibited to sell in the living room
