Cottage " I due Pini"

This cottage, created from a former farm outbuilding adjacent to the main house, is nestled among the green olive groves on the hillside near Cortona. It offers a quiet and characteristic setting with beautiful views of Lake Trasimeno and the Val di Chiana. Private, fenced garden and shared family parking are available. The interior comprises a spacious living room with a fully equipped open-plan kitchen (dishwasher, oven, microwave, etc.), a sofa bed (for two), a bedroom with a 170 cm double bed, and a bathroom with shower, toilet, bidet, and washing machine. The living room leads to an outdoor patio with a barbecue overlooking the garden. Free internet and Wi-Fi are available. The owners (native French speakers and English speakers) will welcome you on-site. Linen and bath changes are available upon request and can be paid for on-site.

The Terontola-Cortona train station is just 2 km away, and the Autostrada del Sole (A1) motorway is easily accessible (Valdichiana toll booth).

Relaxing week in southern Tuscany

The house was an ideal location for visiting southern Tuscany and lago Trasimeno (strictly in Umbria...). It is comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Check in was easy... Paolina provided exact GPS co-ordinates and finding the house was straightforward - we were met by Estelle and were soon settled in and sat in the terrace with a glass of wine. During the week we walked in the hills above Cortona, around Chiusure in the val d'Orcia and these were lovely, but because the weather was so good - it was very warm walking! Sightseeing we stayed fairly close to home; Cortona, Arezzo and Montepulciano and doubtless missed many other fine places nearby. We drove around lago Trasimeno and enjoyed Castiglione del Lago (excellent truffle omelette for lunch) and Passignano sul Trasimeni (fine aperitivos overlooking the lake). We ate in Cortona at the Osteria del Teatro (twice) and the Trattoria Toscana. The cooking at the Osteria is doubtless finer but the grilled veal chop at the trattoria will live on in my memory for a long time! We were lucky with the weather and were able to spend most of our time at the house relaxing on the terrace - we BBQ'd twice and were able to eat outside the whole week. All in all, this was a splendid week in a relaxing house... we enjoyed it very much.

A brilliant retreat amongst the hills and towns of Tuscany and Umbria

We stayed for 3 months in this property, to write. Chosen for its location and facilities, it has has been a resounding success. The house is spacious and traditional, with plenty of homely touches, and our hosts were the most welcoming and kind. Within less than an hour's drive there are literally dozens of hill towns to visit (like Montepulciano, Perugia, Assisi, etc., etc.), and the railway in the nearby village meant we could take the train to Florence, Orvietto and Rome. 10 minutes away is a most beautiful town, Cortona (made famous by Frances Mayes' book and film "Under the Tuscan Sun" and who we bumped in to in Cortona!), with plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from. Down below Cortona is Carmucia with its market and shops. The nearest village is Terontola, 3 minutes away, which has a weekly market as well as supermarkets, post office, railway station, hairdresser (Marco the barber is highly recommended!). In the other direction 10 minutes away is Castiglione del Lago - a beautiful fortified hill town and a great place to take walks along the lake (Trasimeno), eat out or take an aperitif. Every weekend when we were not working was a new adventure. The house is located in the south-west facing hill, surrounded by olive groves, and receives the afternoon sun (we worked outside in the sun until early November!). From the house you can see the valley, the lake (Trasimeno) and Montpulciano in the distance. One of our hosts, Estelle, lives next door and is so kind and helpful - you can ask her for anything - and Martine and Emilio will come round to check or to fix anything. They set up fast internet access, baked cakes, fixed a dripping shower, brought a Christmas tree, provided logs for the fireplace, advised on where to go and what to see, etc. We couldn't have asked for more, and they have become friends - we miss them already and we hope to visit again soon! We had friends and family come for short stays, and the house was perfect for that - it very easily accommodated 4 people and could have taken 6. It has a comfortable living space with fireplace, a dining area for 6, a study corner, a kitchenette, two showers and two WCs, two double bedrooms, and an annex with larder area, second fridge, washing machine and clothes line/drying area. Outside there are two terraces (one catching the morning sun, the other for the evening), a covered area in the afternoon sun, and a fenced off gravelled area (great for our dog). We loved it!

We had the most wonderful stay at I Due Pini.The house itself was spotless, comfortable and surrounded by a garden that our dog absolutely loved – plenty of space for her to play and for us to relax under the olive trees.But what truly made the stay unforgettable were the hosts. The two sisters are the kind of people you rarely meet when traveling: genuinely warm, incredibly thoughtful, and always there if you need them – but never intrusive. From the very first communication everything felt easy and welcoming. When we arrived, there was homemade cake waiting for us, and every morning their own dog greeted us at the window as if to say “buongiorno.”The location is extraordinary to travel the "real Italian" to see all the small, romantic and hidden villages. We went to about and over 10 castles, fortress and squares, across the map star-shaped. On our last day, they surprised us again with homemade fig jam “to remember us by” – and honestly, we could never forget them. Their kindness turned a lovely holiday home into something that felt like a temporary home of our own.We couldn’t recommend I Due Pini more – whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or (like us) with a dog. It’s the perfect mix of peace, comfort and heartfelt hospitality.

Lovely home and beautiful landscape

The house is very well equipped with all kitchen appliances you need, even a splendid BBQ on the terrace. I didn't miss a thing; it was perfect. The boiler was defect, but promptly replaced. So, that doesn't count. The hosts are marvellous, including the friendly dogs. The area is fantastic; you don't even have to reach out very far. I did a hike starting at the house up a hill with wonderful views to lake Trasimeno through nature in blossom. Beautiful!

Nous étions logés dans une jolie petite maison confortable, bien équipée et très très bien entretenue, nichée dans dans les oliviers. Cette maison possède plusieurs terrasses avec table à manger, salon de jardin, chaises longues. C'est vraiment un très bel endroit. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par Martine et Estelle.

Gemütliches Ferienhaus in schöner, günstiger Lage

Ein gemütliches Ferienhaus in schöner, ruhiger Lage. Mit allem, was man für einen angenehmen Urlaub braucht (und bei kühlem Wetter beheizbar, ohne Zusatzkosten!). Die Vermieterinnen sind sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Die schöne, private Terrasse ist zur Hälfte überdacht und geht in einen kleinen Garten über, von dem man bei gutem Wetter den Sonnenuntergang über dem Val di Chiana genießen kann. Und wenn man die Straße ein kurzes Stück bergauf geht, hat man einen weiten Blick übers Land und den Traseminer See. Ca. 2 km entfernt liegt der Bahnhof Terontola (kostenfreie Parkplätze) - ideal für Besuche in Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto, Arezzo bis Florenz und Rom.
