Pros: The villa was a great retreat on the outskirts of town. We truly enjoyed ourselves in the lovely town of Greve. A short walk into town will bring you to all the shops and restaurants that you will need. I would definitely stay here again. We loved the wine, food, and the people of Greve.
Cons: It is worth noting that the hill up to the villa is of considerable ascent for those of you that have mobility issues. I would estimate a range of about 20 - 40 degrees of uphill grade for the entire trip to the villa. It wasn’t too much of an issue for us, but it is worth noting for the walks into town and back. Another note is that the washing machine and the dryer are rather small. We only had two couples and we felt like we were doing laundry everyday. Lastly, the only disappointment that we had was that some of the amenities are at the main office only. For example, the Internet connection. Unlike the listing, there is no Internet connection at the villa. It is at the main office. All business, check-in, check-out, internet usage, etc. needed to be completed at the main office, which is all the way across town and it operates on Italy time, so it is not always open. We are tech savvy, so to complete our daily vacation blog, we had to make time to venture over to the office to get online and this was one of our few requirements and largest disappointment with the villa. We felt mislead despite emails confirming the availability of an internet connection.
Like I said, I would definitely stay here again, but I would know going in that there is no Internet at the Villa.

6 of us had a wonderful week here. The apartment was spacious and clean, the area was beautiful - only 30min drive to Cortona. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class.

Le rondini kann man auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Tolle große Küche, genügend Kühlschränke und ein super gepflegter Pool.
Das Anwesen ist sehr groß und sehr gepflegt.

Great property in an amazing location! This property has everything you can hope for but is missing some of the small details that could make it truly spectacular. The BBQ is in need of replacement and for a group of 7 or more is stretched to its limit with space to cook. The living room and side living room need to be combined with furniture, if I am travelling with 6 other friends chances are we want to be together in the same room, we had to move the furniture ourselves to make it work. We were charged for internet, yet that is not listed anywhere other than saying that internet is available. Even though we had written twice as requested to let them know about the bed setup, it was still not setup as requested (we asked for all beds to be setup as doubles but had 3 doubles setup, one room as twins and the tower room not setup at all, what was the point of asking us in the first place?).
This property has all that you could ask for and the above concerns are knitpicking, but if you are going to be one of the best properties and attract more business the details should be dealt with prior to arrival and the little issues of setup should be not a concern to the renter. Dont hesitate to rent this spot, just ask lots of questions and get confirmation that the details you requested are met. There is also a disconnect between the owner and Easy Reserve with respect to the wine tastings and trips. We were given a list of wineries that we could choose from, however we were sent to another winery of the owners recommendation which to be honest was just ok, why the lack of communication, Easy Reserve should have sent the wine tasting request to the owner so that he could give us the directions as needed. The full day tour of the Tiber valley is just a couple of hours actually as we were picked up at 9am and dropped off around 12:30, details again, but be honest on what you are delivering so that no one is disappointed, it was a great tour, but not a full day as advertised.

We rate the property very highly. The building is spacious, bright and very comfortable. We were a party of 7 (planned to be a party of 8) and were delighted with the roominess. The furnishings inside are attractive and comfortable. The four bedrooms are bright and offer plenty of privacy from the rest of the villa. There are four roomy bathrooms, finished in light marble, bright, clean and modern. The ceramic tiles and marble on the floors are beautiful. Our party included 2 children, ages 3 and 4, who very much enjoyed the space for toys and playing. The kitchen is well-equipped, bright and modern, and there is an ample supply of attractive flatware, glasses and china.
The setting for the villa, on a forested hillside, is perfect. The veranda facing the valley, the hills opposite, and the sunset is the
strategic feature and social centre of the villa. The view is so spectacular, day and night that it is difficult not to spend all your time in admiration of it. The grounds of the property are beautiful and well maintained with an interesting variety of trees and other vegetation. The swimming pool area is immaculate and sheltered.
I must also mention the property management team who looked after the cleaning, maintenance and operation of the facility. Without exception they are charming, efficient and helpful, and set a high standard for hospitality.

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Vor allem der große Pool und die gepflegte Umgebung waren wunderbar. Das Vermieterehepaar war außerordentlich liebenswürdig. Ein Nachteil waren die beiden steilen Treppen (die so in der Beschreibung nicht erkennbar waren) zu unserer großen Wohnung in der zweiten Etage, vor allem weil wir eine ältere Dame dabeihatten, die sich da schon schwergetan hat.
Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis hervorragend.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We felt very comfortable. In particular, the large pool and the landscaped surroundings were wonderful. The landlord was a very gracious couple. One drawback was the two steep flights of stairs (these were not evident in the description) to our large apartment on the second floor, especially since we had with one elderly lady with us who has hurt herself on the stairs.
Excellent value for money.

We spent in Dicomano, Vigna la Corte-Rimaggio 3, one week in June 2011. The location is great, silent, in the middle of nature, outside Dicomano (very close).
We were a group of 5 adults and a child from Romania. The apartment was very confortable, clean and well furnished; the people very helpful and friendly.
It was easy to go to Florence by train (5 minutes to get to the railstation).
It was a wonderful week and we hope to come back again.

The apartment was exactly as shown, very traditional, neat and cosy. It was situated on the lower perimieter of Cortona which meant everything was uphill, but we expected this. It had a small, well presented outside space/garden which had the most fantastic view over the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside. The owner was very helpful, welcoming and speaks very good English. The only negative point we would raise is that the particular apartment we rented (No 3) was very noisy as it adjoined the main entrance for the upper apartments and sounds echoed in the stairway. We would definitely chose this accommodation again, but not No 3.
