traveler reviews for this cortona townhome rental

A dream come true!

s (hinton)
Review submitted: December 8, 2012   Date of arrival: November 29, 2012

This is a perfect little place for so many reasons. Upon arrival we thought this place is even nicer than in the pictures! We fell in love with "casa celeste"(that is its name) and were sad this would be home for only a week.
Within walking distance one can find all one needs or wants : Baker for breads and pastries, butcher for fresh ham. Fresh pasta shop with homemade sauces and antipasti: all at very reasonable prices. Of course wine shops, restaurants, shopping and even a Museum. This was important to us since we did not want to rent a car.

We made a day trip to Montepulciano! Yes it can be done: bus to Camucia at 8:40 or 9:10(might say Arezzo but ask) Train to Chiusi at 9:33 or 10:33 Then bus to Montepulciano. Make sure you start heading home around 3h30 as the bus ride back will take around an hour. Buy your bus tickets in advance at a Tabachi. On the return train ride make sure you are on the right train! Two trains come at the same time but one does not stop in Camucia. you need the regionale.
We were a bit worried about extra heating costs, but we found it very fair and reasonable.
The house comes prepared for all your needs. Not a thing is missing. Free internet came in handy in the middle of the night when we suffered from jet lag. The two beddrooms are set in such a way that privacy is assured if you are considering travelling with another couple. There is also an extra bathroom (toilet and sink)downstairs for added comfort.
Last but not least, our gracious hosts were very kind and helpful.
This place is a winner!

A perfect week

Neighbor (Saratoga Springs, NY, USA)
Review submitted: August 20, 2012   Date of arrival: August 2, 2012

My family of 3 boys and my wife enjoyed a magical week in Cortona this month and Casa Celeste was central to our stay. Lorenzo, Fernanda and Carlo were wonderful hosts and we enjoyed bumping into them throughout town during our stay. The "castle" feels exactly like that with it's own well indoors, thick stone walls, and some etruscan ruins in the alley next door if you are lucky enough to get a tour. The location was perfect...quiet yet close to everything including parking just outside of "the wall". Both this rental and the town of Cortona are optimal to take advantage of everything Tuscan or Umbrian as we took many day trips to surrounding towns, vineyards and attractions, comfortably getting back "home" for a great dinner, gelato, and nighttime fun in the piazza. Could not recommend this location enough and look forward to future visits. Thank you Lorenzo, Fernanda & Carlo!

Perfect location and beautiful home!

Review submitted: August 11, 2012   Date of arrival: October 2, 2011

We arrived in Cortona the 1st week of October hoping to avoid the tourist season. Doug turned to me and said "this is the most beautiful place we've ever been!". After Lorenzo met us and drove us to Casa Celeste, we were simply awestruck. This wonderful townhome is perfectly situated in Cortona proper so we could walk to the Piazza, local restaurants and shops in a matter of minutes. The owners came to greet us that evening and they were so kind and truly devoted to making sure their accommodation was to our satisfaction. It felt like you stepped back in time 500 yrs. yet, every modern convenience was provided. We had trouble with our rental car and Carlo went out of his way to make calls on our behalf. The sounds of gentle church bells rang each morning and the sunrise called us to walk to overlook the gorgeous Tuscan valley. We could have gone sightseeing from Florence to many other places, but we just stayed right there all week. The Saturday market brought great deals on everything Italian made. If you choose to stay in Casa Celeste. While other tourists have to drive down the winding roads from Cortona, you'll be relaxing in your well appointed home enjoying a glass or two of the "vino de locale". Don't forget to sign the guest book, we gave it to them, so wrote the first review. Take a walk back in time and breathe in the glorious Tuscan landscapes at Casa Celeste! 5 *'s!
