Gut: Sauberkeit
Beautiful property, unfortunately a lot of unused potential.
Positive aspects:
- the landlords are nice, reply quick and are always accessible via mail
- the view is beautiful, especially from the veranda, our favorite spot where we spent a lot of time
- the nearby village Cortona has much to offer: food and bars, churches, art, and a stunning view at it´s top. Also lago trasimeno is around 20 minutes away and also worth a visit
- supermarket in camucia (10 min with car)
- good connection to florence via train
- well equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms
Negative:
- the property isn´t maintained well and is overgrown, so we didnt spent much time in most parts of it. With a thorough makeover it has much unused potential! The photos provided are probably a bit outdated.
- although the kitchen is well equipped, the oven does not work. But there´s a dishwasher, which isn´t mentioned anywhere.
- during our stay, there were two big storms in our region, and the house wasn´t ready to deal with that. We had multipe leaks in the roof that dripped onto our stove and the beds. The water on the stove probably caused the first of two power cuts we had during our time here. Like the garden, the house could use a makeover. We also had a second power cut (which wasn´t caused in the house), so we spent around 2 days in total without electricity and 1 day without water (the pump needs electricity to function). But the landlords provided us with a lot of help during this time, which we´re very grateful for!
- the downstairs bedroom began to smell the last few days we were here
So overall, as said above, the house and property are in theory amazing, but all of it is in dire need of a renovation and needs some of it´s issues fixed.
