Cortona gem
We had a fabulous time in Cortona! The house was perfect and had everything we needed! Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, etc. we cooked several times at the house- but especially enjoyed all of the fantastic restaurants- all within walking distance. Also nearby within walking distance is a small grocery store, the bakery, butcher, and a wine shop that has tastings also! Fernando stopped by the first evening and provided instructions- there is a washer and dryer which is a real convenience… We had wonderful times sitting out on the beautiful private courtyard! W F

Truly Magical
We spent the summer in Cortona at Il Roseto. Our family of four, plus my mother. It was a dream. The apartment is so lovely and perfectly situated, close to everything, yet tucked away in a quiet spot. The outdoor terrace is filled with roses and fragrant shrubs. Fernando and Pierfrancesco responded quickly to every question or need. Il Roseto was truly our home, and it felt that way. The apartment was recently renovated with new foam mattresses and pillows, and AC mini splits and smart TVs in all of the rooms. We hope to return to Cortona and stay in Il Roseto again!

Cortona for 5 nights
The property was built in 1500 but updated recently. It definitely has its quirks related to gas and electricity. More written instructions in the home would be useful. The home is spacious with the exception of the galley style kitchen. There is a lovely courtyard that seems to be very unique to properties within the walls of Cortona. There are a couple of nice walks around Cortona. You are not too far from Sienna for a day trip.

cortona stay
we had anticipated our daughter and family being with us but there was a family emergency and they couldn't come, so the house was way too big for my wife and I. also, she was disappointed that there were so few windows so the place seemed dark all the time and the three levels especially with the living and dining on the bottom level was inconvenient. Had a great time in Cortona though.

The best VRBO we've ever stayed at!
Staying at "Il Roseto" in Cortona for 9 nights was absolutely a wonderful experience. Fernando is an ideal host. He communicated with us before we arrived, througout our stay and even messaged us after our departure to check on us. His son, Fransesco, picked us up at the train station, drove us to the house and showed us around. We had some trouble with the dryer and Fernando and Fransesco both came over to get it to work. Fernando always responded to our questions immediately. He is the best VRBO host we have ever experienced. The house is a dream. The pictures don't do it justice. We told friends we stayed in a "villa"! It is beautiful, has everything you could want and was spotless when we arrived. It is in a perfect location in Cortona, close to Piazza della Repubblica. It is on a quiet street. The only thing we heard in the morning were birds and church bells in the distance. We could not find a driver to take us to the train station on our last day. We dreaded the thought of lugging our luggage to the shuttle bus area, which would have most likely taken us a good 45 minutes what with the steps and hilly streets of Cortona (charming and fun if you're just walking around). Fernando communicated with us for days trying to find a driver. In the end his wife went out of her way to drive us. I thanked him and told him he was a lovely man. He responded that he was "just a normal man who liked to help people." If we ever return to Cortona, we will definitely stay at "Il Roseto"

A step back in time
Cortona is a beautiful town and is everything you see in the movies. Narrow streets, boutique stores and delicious food. The apartment in the centre of town is a vision of the old Italian lifestyle. Close your eyes and you can imagine a Nonna making pasta in the rustic kitchen, with the family sitting down in the vintage dining room. Two bathrooms make it comfortable for couples or a family.

Il Roseto is a beautiful property in a great location in Cortona. It’s roomy enough for two families with shopping and sights nearby. Fernando is incredibly helpful and his son is available for local tours - he helped drive us to a local winery and it was an amazing experience. Our stay was the highlight of our three week vacation around Italy - we highly recommend it!

Hills of Cortona
Property is just a short walk to various piazza’s in Cortona. Be prepared to walk hills during your stay. There are not many flat areas in Cortona. The property has a lot of charm but does have some quirks that come with the charm. Hot water boiler needs restarting sometimes. Not much room in kitchen. Overall it is a good place to stay.

Wonderful place to stay in Cortona
I was very pleased to find this location for my recent stay in Cortona. Fernando, the owner, was great about staying in regular communication while I was there and also in advance about the meeting place when I arrived. He was kind enough to transport our luggage to the property when we first arrived. The location of the property is an easy walk from Porta Colonia and is also a 3 minute walk from either Teatro Signorelli or the main piazza in Cortona, where there are several restaurants, a small grocery store, gelateria , etc. The property is located in a quiet section of town and is doesn't require the significant uphill walks that other rental properties require. If you don't already know, there is only one flat road in Cortona and the rest of the beautiful town is located on a hilltop. There are many, many wonderful restaurants in town. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the mattress in the larger bedroom. Everything else was fantastic!

Pleasant stay in an ideal location.
My family and friends have just spent three weeks at this Cortona property. Our stay from checking in to the end was very enjoyable and relaxing. The facilities were as described in the ad and as confirmed by precious reviewers. The owners Fernando and his son Francesco, were very attentive to our requests. The house reflects the charm and beauty of its age and the garden was well attended. To make our stay even more enjoyable we would suggest that the towels and linens be updated. Nevertheless, we would definitely stay there again and and would highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to discover Cortona from inside the walls. Lloyd Hanson Unionville, Ontario, Canada

We loved staying at Il Roseto and we loved Cortona. Fernando’s son communicated really well with us and did a superb job of getting us to the house, driving our car through the narrow streets.

Lovely vacation inside the city walls
The ground floor apartment in this 3 story house is spacious and easily accommodates 8 people. There are two bathrooms each with a shower, bidet and toilet. The wifi is good, and TV signal is alright. There is also washer and dryer. There is a full kitchen, dining room, family room and lots of drawer/cabinet/ closet space. There is a step down from the family room and the bedroom/bunkbed room, so if one is disabled that could be an issue. On the other hand, the streets of Cortona would be limiting in that regard. The streets in Cortona are exceptionally narrow, one-way, and steep, some with cobblestone. There is no parking at the house, you have to park outside the city walls, there are two parking areas on that side of the town, one is free the other is not. It is a 5 minute walk, uphill to the house, so with luggage, in the heat that could be a bit hard. But our host, Fernando, drove us in to the house, suitcases and all, and back to the parking lot a week later when we left. He was very helpful with information, and the fruit, juice, milk and wine as a welcome treat was nice. The apartment is located a few minutes walk from the center of Cortona, with bars, restaurants and stores. Keep in mind all but one street are really steep, with or without steps. The main street is fairly flat, not too long and with a wonderful view of the valley on one end. Cortona is also very conveniently located centrally between Arezzo, Siena and Perugia. We would definitely go back.

Cute house - not handicap able
We had a wonderful time at Il Roseto during our stay at Cortona. When looking for a place to stay in Tuscany I searched on VRBO for a few filters: a certain number of bedrooms, certain number of bathrooms, and handicapable capabilities. Yes - the house is on one floor, but the walk up to the house is steep (so is the rest of cotrona) and there are some large steps to get into the dining room and another bedroom. Other than that - we had a great time staying at the house! Whatever you do - do not try to drive to the house! We made that mistake. Figure out where the hosts want you to meet up and walk to the house. Mobility issues aside - this is located in a great area for people who can easily walk to all of the lovely restaurants and shops in the towns square. Any issues we had with the house were quickly fixed.

Perfect Home, Great Location
My husband and I stayed at Il Roseto for 16 nights. Fernando's son, Pierfrancesco met us at the train station and we followed him to Il Roseto. This family home is inside the beautiful hilltown of Cortona. Pierfrancesco was very helpful and very friendly. This home was clean and spacious and had everything we needed and had a bottle of wine and fresh fruit on the table to welcome us. We loved the outdoor garden patio and often enjoyed lunch or dinner outside. The apartment is just a minutes from the piazza. We walked into town several times a day visiting many shops and restaurants. We started most days with cappuccino at Caffe Bar Signorelli. We also enjoyed all the photography exhibits from: "Cortona on the Move" International Photography Festival. We walked up to the Medici Fortress, which had photography exhibits in gallery spaces on each floor. The MAEC Esruscan Academy Museum had a photography exhibit which included Pete Souza's collection of "Obama, An Intimate Portrait." This was our third visit to Tuscany. We had an amazing time and we hope to return. Joe and Kate, Cooperstown, NY

wunderbarer Urlaub in Cortona
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub über Silvester in Cortona. Die Ferienwohnung war gepflegt, groß und die Lage in der Altstadt super. Cortona ist eine sehr lebendige Kleinstadt und als Ausgangspunkt für Toskana-Urlaube geeignet. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr angenehm und er ist jederzeit bei Fragen erreichbar. Einen Parkplatz für das Auto findet mach außerhalb der Altstadt ganz in der Nähe (5 min zu Fuß entfernt). Nur die Ausleuchtung und das Lampenlicht in der Ferienwohnung sind für unseren Eindruck etwas zu gedämpft und schwach gehalten. Doch im Sommer sicher anders als im Winter.

Hele vriendelijke behulpzame verwelkoming van de eigenaars
Fijn verblijf in het heerlijke stadje Cortona. Veel mooie leuke winkeltjes en heelijk eten en goed ijs!! Ook genoeg te wandelen en te bekijken. Een stadje met geschiedenis en kunst. Parkeren is prima te doen vooral beneden bij de kerk was altijd plek. Wel weer een stukje klimmen terug maar daar moet je gewoon even je weg in vinden. Wij hebben steeds alles eerst uitgeladen bovenaan de weg, bij de laad en losplaats bovenaan bij de stadsmuur. Zo was het goed te doen vooral met de kinderen. Het is een heerlijke vakantieplek alleen misten we wel een zwembad om af te koelen zo in de zomerwarmte. Maar niet getreurd…er is op een half uur afstand rijden een mooi openlucht zwembad met grasveld te vinden waar je heerlijk kan vertoeven. Het park ligt in Umbrië, je rijd een heel stuk langs het Trasimeno meer..een mooie tocht naar het (Laguna park/ beach). Van 17:00 -19:00 kan je daarvoor €3,- p.p. zwemmen en afkoelen, heerlijk voor jezelf en met kinderen.
