LA TORRETTA 10

Toscana - Arezzo - CORTONA

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only - CIR CODE: 051017LTN0355). Torretta is a splendid antique property, located on the top of a nice hill next to the Medieval town of Cortona. Being surrounded by oak-trees and olive-trees, you can appreciate the Tuscan country side. What makes the property unique is, on one side, it's splendid panoramic position overlooking the entire Valdichiana valley, and on the other, the circular tower with a roof made of stone tiles built in the 16th century, which through the ages has been transformed into a windmill. The country house built in the 18th century has recovered its beautiful antique splendour thanks to the accurate restoration of the owners, who found the perfect balance between the old and the new, rendering your stay as pleasant as possible. Casale La Torretta is an unique and maybe even magical, where you can enjoy an unforgettable and certainly splendid and relaxing holiday.

LA TORRETTA HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

We loved the privacy and the authenticity of La Torretta. Arriving on the property was like stepping into a scene from a movie, breathtaking views, olive trees, the glittering pool. We were pleasantly surprised by how much bigger the Villa and property seemed versus the photos from the website. The little town of Pergo at the bottom of the hill with its market, local pizzeria and friendly bar/cafe with gelato was very convenient. And the larger picturesque town of Cortona with its restaurants an

Indeed, there are 4 bathrooms for 4 rooms. One room with individual beds. The first floor was for parents, and the ground floor was for the kids. They enjoined such freedoom. The stair are outside. The kitchen and living room are accessible without distrubing the kids in the mooring.

Better ant control - as in better traps not just spray. They showed us electric meter up from but given we have no idea how much electricity is it seemed a little sketchy.

What rate would you give for the customer service (including check in/out)?
excellent
What suggestions do you have to better the service provided by Emma Villas?
The biggest disappointment was that we could not walk to town. I had expressed that as big priority so my husband would not always have to drive everyone. It was described as 1 km but it really was longer and not walkable. It was my own fault for not being more clear how important this was to us. Other than that everyone at Emma Villas was professional and helpful.
