About the Experience
Is this residence an apartment or hotel room? In fact, it combines the best of both worlds: the privacy and spaciousness of your own large Tuscany apartment, along with a restaurant on-site and full time staff eager to help you with any difficulties that may arise?or simply to recommend local day trips and excellent restaurants. In addition to all of this, this Tuscany accommodation gives you acres of beautiful grounds to explore, a huge swimming pool, and the lovely outbuildings of the hamlet itself. Escape the ?real world? when you retreat to this holiday vacation rental in Cortona, which is where the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun" starring Diane Lane takes place as well as the book it's based off of by Frances Mayes.
