La Sorgente is a wonderful property in a beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our time. Our party of eight adults found that there was plenty of space for everyone, so no one felt crowded. It made a great base to explore Tuscany. I am extremely happy that we chose this property. We hired Morena to cook for us for two nights while we were there. She is a wonderful cook and great lady. The meals were superb!

The property is delightfully located, with magnificent views down the valleys towards Arezzo and San Sepolcro. The views from the pool area are the same - and it makes for a beautiful spot for a holiday. The property is clean and well appointed, and obviously well maintained. We brought my mother here for her 60th birthday, and had a superb time of it.

The couple who look after the property were utterlty charming, and left us a basket of basics to get us started (tin of tomatoes, pasta, bread, eggs, coffee etc.), and also brought us a home baked cake during the first week, which was a very unexpected and delightful surprise.

Points to note: the villa is a couple of km from the nearest village (and therefore amenities), so really only an option if you have hired a car. There is no iron or ironing board, which was not a problem for us, but could be for others. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with cooking utensils, crockery and glassware, but there was no corkscrew there on the day we arrived (we bought one and left it there though...!). There is also a waching machine (useful if you are staying for more than a week), and a dishwasher (bliss on a holiday).

All in all, highly recommended.

We had an outstanding week at Villa Roncovisi. The villa is meticulously maintained, very comfortable, beautiful gardens, pool, furnishings and extremely hospitable owners. We can't wait to return.

This is heaven on earth! Absolutely the most beautiful place I have everystayed in. The pictures do not do this place justice. Villa, pool, property, views and surroundings are more than I ever could have dreamed of. The owners are delightful and helpful and will cook you the best Tuscan dinner you have every had for a very reasonable price. You are situated in the most beautiful countryside you can imagine, between Cortona and Montepulciano, two gorgeous hill towns,and are only 1 1/2 hours from Florence. You can stop looking for another place...this is the one!

The hosts were wonderful, the property clean, and the town charming. Loved that the bakery, butcher, produce market, grocer and restaurant were within a block - and that the experience was very truly local. We were the ONLY non-locals in the restaurant both nights we ate there.

We scored a cooking class with Marina and another couple staying with them. We had a BLAST cooking in her kitchen and dining with their family. Make this part of your stay if you can.

La Miccia is a lower level apartment so delightfully cool, but a bit dark. The hot tub is not "hot" by most american standards, and seems a little odd in the middle of the living room, but everything else was great. If we ever get back to Pergine Valdarno, we'll be back at La Miccia.

Beautiful, quintessential Tuscan property! Rolling hills, vineyards, olive trees, small villages, good food and wine! If you want a peaceful vacation yet close to the bigger cities, you'll like this villa...

If you want a special holiday we can strongly reccomend Casa Ivan. The pictures and reviews mean you arrive and it feels as if you have stepped into your dream holiday. The warmth and generosity of the owners made us feel so welcome and "at home". If you can learn even a little Italian it will be much appreciated by the Italian people. If not then be prepared to speak like the Italians do - use lots of hand gestures! It's hard to explain how the family show you a side of Italy that makes the holiday so magical without giving too much away of the love they give.
You will find certainly find Cortona a very friendly area.
We had no car so used the bus or walked. The bus runs into Cortona at 7.10am, 15.10pm and approx 18.45pm and returns at 14.10 and 17.45hrs (no last bus on Sat and no buses Sun). The bus takes approx 10 minutes and links with buses to the train station (again only 10 mins) as well as buses to other places. We walked into Cortona a few times and it takes about an hour - the road winds gently into Cortona and the views are amazing but be sure to take care and look out for traffic although the road is not that busy. If you are visiting the tombs or museums be sure to check out the opening hours before setting out - we were caught out a few times. If walking look out for the strada basilata (the Roman roads). Walk up to Portole which is just half an hours walk. The little bar sells groceries too and is a very cheap place to have a drink. The hotel too is reasonable and friendly and the village has an active social life which seems to centre around the hotel/bar. We found leaflets there and were able to join in an organised free walk and watch a mountain bike race.
Catching the first bus we were able to have days out in Florence and Castiglione del Lago (mkt day Wed) by catching the train in Camucia. Train travel is cheap and we were able to be back in time for the last bus and still see quite a lot. Be sure to validate your ticket in the yellow machines at the station before boarding the train. Tickets for the bus can be bought at the tourist information centre or at tobacconists. Tickets for the train can be bought at the station or at the tourist information centre and are valid for 2 months on an open ticket. If travelling down on the overnight sleeper from Paris we suggest booking to Florence outward and from Rome on your return. Leave your luggage at the station and explore the cities before your onward journey to the villa or home.
So what are you waiting for - book Casa Ivan to experience a truly memorable slice of the real Italy.
