Renter Rating: 5/5.

Prachtige ligging en eenvoudige maar goede accomodatie. Het enige minpunt waren de wasmachine en de afwasmachine die niet naar behoren werkten. Vriendelijk onthaal!

Très belle propriété, très confortable et très bien équipée. Des propriétaires très gentils et très attentifs aux besoins de chacun. Une vue devant la maison magnifique. Deux petits points négatifs: un manque d'insonorisation entre les maisons donc parfois un peu trop de bruit des voisins immédiats et la piscine (qui est TB) est plus loin que 300 mètres.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Beautiful property, very comfortable and well equipped. Owners very nice and very attentive to individual needs. The view outside the house is beautiful. Two minor gripes: a lack of soundproofing between the apartments so it could get a little too noisy with the immediate neighbors and the pool (which is very beautiful) is further than 300 meters.

Borgo Elena is a lovely villa set high up in the hills above Camucia. We stayed in Apartment 6 which was spacious with amazing views from the bedrooms and sitting room. There is a terrace from the kitchen which was reasonably secluded (the only completely private outdoor space is with Apartment 3). We viewed all the other apartments on the last day which are all beautifully furnished with lots of character. The pool is a good size, good depth for children and regularly cleaned. It also has plenty of comfortable loungers and umbrellas providing essential shade. Again, the views from the pool are spectacular. The owner, Elena, was exceptionally helpful and always at hand. She provided us with a bottle of her own wine on arrival and, at a small cost, we were able to top up our supplies of both wine olive oil (again made by Elena's family) during our stay (great presents too!) She and her father, Mario, were also very sweet with our 5 year old son who ended up not wanting to leave! There are no local amenities within walking distance but Camucia (with 2 supermarkets) is only a 5 minute drive down the hill and the pretty town of Cortona, 5 more minutes further on. We would highly recommend Borgo Elena.
