We rented apartment#2, with the living room and the fireplace. Could use a newly furniture which will give the place a warmer feeling. Ask the owners to ventilate the apartment before your arrival. The kitchen is great, equiped with everything needed. The owners are very nice people but they doesn't speek English , so bring a basic dictionary or I hope they will prepare a description paper with all the necessary info in english. Location is excellent, the pool and the garden are fabulous. Apartment #1 has no living room and it is good only for sleeping and breakfast, tere is no place to lay back and rest, good for those who plans to travel all day and use it only for accommodation.
We had to use the heating all the week and it cost us an extra 70 euros, so be aware of that.

We (husband, wife and 15 year old son) had a great time at Il Pigionale. It is the quintessential Tuscan villa. Located in a small village on a hilltip. The village has an excellant restaraunt, butcher, fruit shop and small supermarket. Under the house was a fully equipped laundry, that came in handy. The owners of the villa were fantastic. Waiting for us was one bottle of white wine and one bottle of red. We also took up the option of a free cooking lesson with Marina in their home (about 20 kms away). It was a highlight of our trip. We make pasta, meat dish plus a pie for desert, all from first principles. Then we ate the diner together with their family. Sensational. They are perfect hosts. The villa is centally located to all points in Tuscany, although a car is essential. The villa is beatifully finished. I am sure you would not be disappointed. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at the villa in Portole. It was just a short drive up the mountain from Cortona. The view was beautiful. The home was very comfortable and the owner was super nice and accomodating. She greeted us with cookies and a bottle of her own wine. We managed to communicate despite the language barrier. I would definitely recommend staying here.
