The property was wonderful, the owner most helpful, but we thought that the place was in a more rural setting when in fact it was in suburbia. This didn't make for an unpleasant stay, just not what we were really looking for. If that is what friends were after then most certainly we would recommend Rio Corso. The property is conveniently located to the main cities of Pisa, Lucca, Lerici and the Cinque Terra. We found the small mountain-top towns of Monte Carlo and Monte Cartini real treasures.

Beautiful villa representing old world charm. Fantastic location with a view of Cortona from the back and Montepulciano from the front. The landscaping is incredulous and the location in the Chiana valley is out of a storybook. Full range of all utensils/pans/pots/glasses. There was even a nice collection of spices, coffee and sugar available! I highly recommend having the owner prepare some meals for you. They were fantastic 4 course meals. We did this three nights and they were the best meals we ate the entire trip!

The villa was everything we hoped for and more! We defitinitely would stay there again. Concerning the owners: The entire family was like a family to us. They made great suggestions and helped with all of our traveling questions. We not only experienced the countryside but the warmth of the people thru the Micheli family as well. The cooking class was fabulous and the food was served to the whole Micheli family and other guests for a real special night!

Without today's techonology it would have been impossible to my family and me to be able to find such a nice place to spend a delightfull vacation as we did. Franchesco and Marina helped us in arriving and with the logs for the fireplace, the house was exactly what I expected.

We would certainly recommend this villa. Our family party, coming from Scotland and Bermuda, took two adjoining apartments and it worked really well. We had loads of room so we could have privacy when needed but we could also all eat together in the evening. We were very comfortable and the family looked after us very well. It's very well located for sightseeing and the beaches aren't too far away either. We would all love to go back!

We had an excellent experience and enjoyed staying at the villa. Marco was especially nice and even gave us a bottle of his special wine at our departure. We're already discussing a return trip to Italy and plan to use your reservation service for that trip.

Thanks,

We stayed in the newest villa on the property and it is very spacious and bright - lots of windows and outdoor patio space. This villa is very nice, but it is in the country so it is necessary to drive for any necessities.

Such beautiful countryside. Cortona, Arezzo, the Chianti area. Most definately we would recommend the property. Franceso and Marina were wonderful hosts. Their suggestions about what to do and their hospitality were very much appreciated.

The property is well located to the sea (just 5 min walk), places to go (Toscana historical towns like Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Florence etc and farms producing excellent vine), supermarkets. It is surrounded by pine trees, the beach is vast and sandy. The apartment is reasonably planned and furnished.
