The apartment was very good and the garden and pool fantastic. The owner, who lived on the lower floor, was very friendly and tried to help in any way possible. The biggest problem was that she spoke no English at all so all communication was done via hand signals or google translate. This is not optimal as you cannot ask simple questions and she cannot tell you important things like how to handle trash or how things work. I would recommend having all the practical things in writing in English when you don´t speak the language and are expecting non Italian speakers.
The area was quiet and nice. Cortona was fantastic. Couple of hours drive to Firenze and Pisa if you are up for that.
All in all the experience was very good

Wonderful villa with everything we needed. Air con in bedrooms was marvellous for night time. Owners live next door and are lovely with excellent English. Beautiful gardens and large pool which we love loved. Villa in rural setting and very private - perfectly placed for visits to Lucca & Florence. Large supermarket 10 mins away. We would definitely return here, one of the best villas we have stayed at in 15 years of holidaying in Italy, Spain and Portugal.

Our week at Casa Uscioli could not have been more perfect. A beautiful villa, high in the hills of Tuscany. Remote, private and quiet. The villas and grounds are kept immaculate by our beautiful and elegant host Maria. We enjoyed the property so much, we barely ventured out, unless it was to go to nearby Rufina for supplies. We were happy to just enjoy the pool and it's surrounds. The villa is however close to Florence and we did visit San Gimignano and the Chianti region. WiFi is excellent and laundry was done for us at no charge by Maria. If you want an idyllic week in Tuscany then look no further.

We had a lovely stay at the villa with 8 of our friends, it’s was spacious and airy. The grounds were kept well and the pool was a lovely temperature. It would have been nice to have a few more sun beds but overall we had a very nice stay.

Das gesamte Anwesen, der gigantische Pool, die Weiläufigkeit, wir (8 Personen) hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt (9 Nächte). Kleine "italienische" Mängel wie, Spülmaschine hat nicht richtig funktioniert, das Lichtschaltersystem ist sehr unübersichtlich, kann man verschmerzen. Auch bei der Mülltrennung wäre eine genauere Einweisung bzw. Beschriftung der Behälter hilfreich.
Der Strom, der extra zu bezahlen ist bei Abreise, ist nicht nur teuer, er ist exorbitant teuer. Das sollte man vorher wissen. Ansonsten werden wir alle diesen Aufenthalt nicht vergessen.
(English translation - The entire property, the gigantic pool, the frequency, we (8 people) had a great stay (9 nights). Small "Italian" defects such as, dishwasher did not work properly, the light switch system is very confusing, you can get over. Also with the waste separation a more exact instruction or inscription of the containers would be helpful.
The electricity, which is extra to pay on departure, is not only expensive, it is exorbitantly expensive. You should know that in advance.
Otherwise, all of us will not forget this stay.)
