Villa in Cortona with 6 bedrooms sleeps 12
The villa is the perfect place to spend a holiday immersed in the sweet Tuscan landscape. The villa is located just 500 meters (15 minute walk) from the heart of the historical center of the famous Etruscan town of Cortona, now one of the most beautiful and famous in Italy, and is located in one of the most charming hills of Cortona, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view over the valley and on some of the historical monuments. The property is divided into two adjacent units, both with private entrance from the garden, but is rented exclusively all together for a total of 12 persons. The villa rises around an old farmhouse dating back to the 17th Century, lovingly restored and decorated by the owners who have kept the ancient stone structure of the house intact and have used materials and fine furnishings to equip the property with all modern comforts but at the same time preserve the historicity and elegance of the villa. The villa has a beautifully landscaped garden equipped with garden furniture and tables to enjoy al fresco dining; the pool is located a few meters from the house, down beautiful stone steps which lead you onto a natural terrace where the swimming pool lies perfectly exposed to the sun and in a panoramic position. Swimming pool (4 x 8 m, minimum depth 1,20 m, maximum depth 1.80 mt. Open from May to mid September), lies perfectly exposed to the sun and in a panoramic position, equipped with deck chairs, umbrellas and solar shower. The pool has a water electrolysis treatment system. Outside there is also a barbecue, a pizza oven and a free private parking.

We were two families and spent a wonderful week at this fantastic villa. The owner and staff are very helpful and welcoming. Lovely views and pool and a short walk to the town, an excellent base to explore from. I would highly recommend.

Casa Girifalco
This property is everything we wanted a Tuscan villa to be. We were 5 couples celebrating our 60th birthdays. We all had private bedrooms with private bathrooms. The location is perfection. We could walk to the historic town of Cortona in under 25 minutes, but our property was completely private with a view that was spectacular. In the morning the birds and church bells are your music and the flowers and fruit trees are in abundance.

Casale Girifalco review
A terrific property in Cortona that should not be missed. A fantastic location to town requiring an uphill but not overwhelming walk or 5 minute drive to parking. The house is welcoming and stays very cool even on a warm day. Beautiful views and grounds with a comfortable pool. Wonderful place to base a trip and enjoy day trips within Tuscany. Owner and staff easy to communicate with and very available if needed. Will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Tuscany! Pictures do not do this property justice. The views are breathtaking.

Exceeded Expectations
From the view, homey feel, to the welcome gifts of wine, olive oil, and homemade apple cake- we loved everything about this stunning villa and location. Houseman did not speak any English, but through Google Translate we were able to piece together conversations. We were a little shocked by the price that was charged for heat so I would definitely recommend getting that clarified upon check-in. Villa is very walkable to town- just be prepared to walk up some very steep hills- well worth it, however. It was a dream vacation and this beautiful villa was a big part of why it was so perfect. The views are extraordinary.

Tuscan Magic
12 of us (family) rented this beautiful Tuscan property, it was a sheer delight and exceeded our expectations. From the atmospheric houses to the swimming pool it all worked very well for us. The main house was used for the two families with young children whilst my husband and I along with our daughter and son-in-law were in the smaller property.
The house could be described as faded grandeur and we wouldn't have wanted it otherwise. We felt relaxed and were made extremely welcome by the owner who was resident onsite (but not intrusive).
The property is about a 15 min walk into town either through the olive grove or by road. Either way is a steep walk and not for the frail or unfit.
We experienced the most tremendous views, especially at sunset, quite breathtaking.
We were after the true Tuscan experience and we cannot imagine there could be a better place to realise this dream.
It was MAGICAL!

Maison ancienne pleine de charme, vue exceptionnelle et emplacement à 10 mns à pied de Cortone. L’annonce de l’agence immobilière assez imprécise sur les conditions notamment ( prix du ménage )

Views exceeds the pictures!
The location is absolutely amazing! Walking distance to Cortona, though a bit steep.
Worth walking to restaurants!
The house is fantastic.
A bit hard beds, but acceptable.
Can absolutely return!
