We found this b&b while searching for Tuscan villas to stay in for a night and we wished we had booked there longer. Sara and her family (the owners) are the absolute most wonderful, helpful people ever in a country full of people in the service industry who leave a lot to be desired in their service. The town of Cortona is an absolute MUST visit that many people don't know about. I tell you this as a visitor having traveled all over Itlaly, from Rome to Naples, from Capri to Venice, from Milan to the Lakes to Portofino and Pisa to Florence, all more than once. This was the BEST OF ITALY!!! Even saw a Hollywood Star. Beautiful town, church, and people.

We absolutely loved our night at Locanda al Pozzo Antico!! One of the best meals if not the best…read moreI've ever had, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and fun. The space was very inviting and decorated very simply with legendary bottles of wine and pictures of loved ones. At the time we were there, we were one of two tables they were serving so we felt very taken care of. We had a variety of their amazing pastas, and the perfectly cooked steaks were absolutely delicious. A standout of the food was the truffle fondue. Often truffle is either too subtle or overpowering, but this was perfect! Best focaccia I've had, amazing wines, and some truly scrumptious desserts. I cannot describe this experience without mentioning the amazing staff and Chef Paola. They were fun and thoughtful, and especially accommodating of one of our party's celiac allergy. Paola came out a number of times bringing freshly baked GF bread, GF pasta, and even prepared a custom GF almond cake with custard. She was engaging and supportive, and made them feel comfortable, safe, and uninhibited by the allergy. At the end of the meal they offered us the staff's homemade amaro for free which was delicious and we toasted with them to end the night! Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I have never written a review before but this experience made me want to become a food blogger and write 3 pages on this place! Please go! This is a can't miss in Cortona. Especially if you are gluten free.

More than a bed a breakfast, the lodging complements fully stocked apartments with full kitchens and baths. From its elevated location we could see for miles through the valley! There were small castles, palaces, and towers dotting mountains in all directions. The villas were nice too. The property is family operated hosted 100's of achres with olive trees, fruit trees, vineyards, flower gardens and herbs. The owner is a great chef with an onsite restaurant! She also makes her own olive oil, jelly/jam, spices, and wines! We appreciated the roustic style of the structures, which appear centuries old on the outside, yet moden and comfortable on the inside. A 10 minute trip down the mountain, through a small town, and up the other side put us in the famous city, Cortona! Breath taking does not even cover the experience! Though modern and fully stocked with many of the latest features ((Men in Black 3 was playing in the cinema)), Cortona has been around since before the Romans. Built high above the valley, it complements present day shops, universities, restaurants, and businesses. We found out that the University of Georgia has a branch here for music academic students. The narrow streets are classic Italian and with careful navigation of the steep slopes we found a churches dedicated to holy Saints and a monastery. Research Cortona to learn more. We made this trip just prior to the busy summer season. Only one other guest shared the grounds, an Australian couple, however, the day we were leaving a large party checked in and filled all the apartments for a wedding. HISTORY: Centuries ago Tuscany, being isolated from other areas by mountains, developed unique flavors in food and style that can only be experienced when you are here.

I felt like a local walking into my Tuscan home each night. We had two rooms which were next to each other and shared a common sitting area. The common area was a great place to read and play cards. There are homemade snacks all around for your enjoyment. If you want a bottle of wine, there are plenty all around the place. Our room was spacious and bed and pillows comfortable. The breakfast, oh the breakfast, it was amazing. Homemade cakes, fresh fruit, cooked to order eggs, cheeses, meats,.... There was so much food! It was outstanding. The staff was wonderful in helping us with reservations and such. Absolutely loved this place.

Choosing to stay at Il Tosco will take it from perfect to sublime. This property is a labor of love owned by a family and run by the same. You will quickly realize that as impossible as it seems, this project of theirs is more driven by their need for perfection than money. The breakfast that comes with the room is ridiculously elaborate and delicious. There are only 4 rooms, but every morning you walk into walls lined with food. Fruits and meats, cheeses and pastries, egg dishes, grilled vegetables cakes cakes and more cakes, breads, jams,jellies, juices, what ever kind of coffee or expresso or tea you wish, etc etc. Had to add the etcs because I know I'm leaving things out. The bedrooms are large and appointed with antiques while being also thoroughly modern. The bathroom was expansive, contemporary. The linens on the bed gorgeous. You will be made to feel at home and the gracious hospitality offered covered our every wish, without ever being obtrusive.
