The Apartment

Just about one kilometer from Cortona, easily accessible via a delightful ten-minute stroll, you’ll find Casa le Contesse.

This charming dwelling is nestled amidst lush greenery, enveloped by a serene grove of olive trees. Our home is a historic stone farmhouse perched on Cortona’s picturesque hillside.

The apartment is completely restored, warm and comfortable. Located in a portion of the house, with an independent entrance as well as free access to the garden that overlooks “a superpanoramic view”: from here you can admire Cortona, the Val di Chiana (Chiana Valley) and a glimpse of the Lago Trasimeno (Trasimeno Lake).

Charming space and a great host! The apartment is outside the village and is extremely quiet and peaceful. Maria went above and beyond for all of our needs. The village had everything that we needed. 2 small grocers, 2 butchers and 2 weekly market days. Wandering around the medieval village never gets old. We would like to return to Tuscany and stay again.

Wonderful stay at Alessandra’s apartment. Very peaceful & incredible view to watch sunset. Alessandra was very welcoming & helpful.About a 20min walk up to Cortona - but pretty steep! And a 15 min walk down to local small supermarket.Will definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely place to stay! Alessandra was wonderful and it was an absolute pleasure to be able to meet her. The home was such a treat - a beautiful Tuscan style home. The surrounding area is beautiful with a lot to do.

Very easy to feel right at home at this lovely little house. The hostess is great. The place is super clean. The views are stunning. The hostess gives you total privacy and even though they live on the premises, you don't hear her at all. The place is really quiet both during the day and night. A huge plus for me personally - even while sitting outside in the evening, I didn't encounter a single mosquito. The bed was really squeaky, but she was not aware as she had changed it relatively recently and promised to look into it. The couch - very comfy. Inside it is not perhaps as naturally bright as the pictures would have you think. I'm glad I chose this place - loved my stay.

A very peaceful and beautiful location with lovely views looking down over the valleys. A short drive up to Cortona. Very comfortable and with some thoughtful touches.

The accommodation is in a really beautiful location. The view is wonderful on the hillside with a view of the valley. When the sky is clear, you also have a perfect spot to watch the sunset.The house is furnished in a rustic Italian style, cosy and clean.Alesandra was a very friendly and helpful hostess. We really enjoyed our stay there and felt very comfortable. There were juices, milk and water in the fridge when we arrived, which was a very thoughtful gesture.Her English is also very good, which makes communication very easy.

This place is the closest you will be from paradise, on earth! We have been there twice, and we are always dreaming of going back. Everything is perfect about this house, it's quiet, beautiful, the host, Alessandra is the best host we've ever encountered, the views, oh my, the views! Breakfast and dinners outside... Just writing this, makes me want to be there! If you are visiting Cortona, avoid the crowds and enjoy this gem of a house! I invite you to find the little details on every corner :)

Wow! Our stay at Alessandra's place was simply incredible! From the moment we arrived, Alessandra's warmth and helpfulness made us feel right at home. Every corner of the house exuded charm, and it was evident that every detail had been carefully thought out. Alessandra was not only a gracious host but also incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Her property is truly stunning, and our time in Cortona will be a cherished memory that stays with us forever!
