Wir (4 Erwachsene, ein Kleinkind von 15 Monaten und eine Schafpudelhündin) haben 14 Tage das wunderbare Haus und insbesondere den Pool genossen. Es fehlte an nichts. Auto ist nötig, selbst das Laufen nach Montopoli ist schon eine Angehen. Wie häufig bei tollen Ferienhäusern ist die Zuwegung - nach Durchfahrt der engen Gassen von Montopoli - eher schwierig, aber machbar. Auch mit unserem für Italien eher zu großen Touareg. Die Verständigung mit dem Gärtner - soweit nötig - lief auf italienisch (da war meine Ehefrau mit ihren vielen Italienischkursen genau richtig), ansonsten allers problemlos auf englisch. Allerdings muss man täglich viele Treppen zumeist ohne Handlauf steigen, zum Pool geht es z.B. über zwei weitläufige Ebenen. mit vielen Treppenstufen.. Der Pool ist aber jede Anstrengung wert. Mückenschutz mitnehmen und wer deutsches TV sehen will einen Fire TV Stick von Amazon. Wir waren zumeist relaxt im Ferienhaus, haben uns "nur" Pisa, Lucca, San Miniauto angesehen und an einer Weinprobe in Serra teilgenommen.. Wir hatten aber auch das Glück, dass der alljährliche mittelalterliche Tag in Montopoli zu unserer Zeit stattfand. Kl.Annregung: Der komplette Sichtschutz rund um den Pool ist zumindest in Richtung Tal völlig unnötig, versperrt aber die Sicht vom Pool aus.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We (4 adults, a toddler of 15 months and a sheep poodle) have enjoyed the wonderful house and especially the pool for 14 days. Nothing was missing. Car is necessary, even walking to Montopoli is a challenge. As is often the case with great holiday homes, access - after driving through the narrow streets of Montopoli - is rather difficult, but doable. Also with our Touareg, which is rather too big for Italy. The communication with the gardener - as far as necessary - was in Italian (my wife was just right with her many Italian courses), otherwise everything was in English without any problems. However, you have to climb a lot of stairs every day, mostly without handrails, e.g. the pool is on two spacious levels. with many steps. The pool is worth every effort. Take mosquito repellent with you and if you want to watch German TV, take a Fire TV Stick from Amazon. We were mostly relaxed in the holiday home, "only" looked at Pisa, Lucca, San Miniauto and took part in a wine tasting in Serra. But we were also lucky that the annual medieval day in Montopoli took place during our time. Small suggestion: the complete privacy screen around the pool is completely unnecessary, at least in the direction of the valley, but blocks the view from the pool.

3.5 stars.
We were a group of 13 visiting the Cortona area and we stayed at Case Santánna for two weeks. There are pros and cons of every place you may stay so I'm summarizing for those who don't like long reviews:
* The apartments upstairs have issues with plumbing. Bathrooms leak and kitchens don't fully
operate.
* The owner lives on the property site in a house next to the villa.
* The pool and hot tub is kept up nicely by owner every morning
* It is very remote. Don't think about staying here without a car. You won't get a cab, uber or any other car service.
* All of the bedrooms are spacious and clean
* All but one of the main house bathroom showers had great water pressure and plenty of hot water.
* Plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc. in the kitchen
* Internet is spotty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's a satellite connection.
* The owner was very gracious and didn't seem to mind our late night gatherings outside.
* Highly recommend Tuklu nearby for food although it's only open 2 or 3 nights during the week.
* Grocery stores are about 3km away and easy to get to with car.
* Plenty of parking for cards
* Owner arranged a nice dinner prepared by a local cook. It was great!
* You will be using Google translate to communicate with the owner.

Wir waren zu viert und haben eine perfekte Woche in diesem wunderschönen Haus verbracht. So geschmackvoll eingerichtet, mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Der Pool wurde regelmäßig gesäubert, die Anlage und das Haus ist bestens gepflegt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa as a party of 6 adults.
The grounds are well maintained and picturesque with pandemic views. Plenty of car parking space. The pool is regularly
maintained by the owners who come by each morning to clean it and was regularly used by us during our stay.
A couple of things to note, the facilities within the villa could be found lacking especially for a larger party, as the villa holds up to 11.
The BBQ to use was great, but be prepared to buy your own fuel.
Tourist tax was payable on arrival which wasn’t clear beforehand.
All in all some great memories were made at the villa and we would definitely return!

Paradiso is een geweldig huis, rust en groenten/kruiden uit eigen tuin zijn hier te vinden, tezamen met kippen en 2 lieve katjes. Al met al een top locatie. Eigen/huur vervoer noodzakelijk.

The photos already showed the beauty of the place, but its very special and peaceful atmosphere can only be experienced by those who spend a few days on the estate. The host gave very detailed and accurate information about the houses and the equipment, which really have everything you need for an enjoyable week. Laszlo Varkonyi (Hungary)

Très bel endroit mais attention le chemin pour accéder à la maison est très long et surtout très accidenté, prévoir une voiture tout terrain.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Very nice place but beware the path to the house is very long and especially very uneven, provide an all terrain car.
