In general, this is a fabulous central location for the region and a lovely villa. The house, pool and garden were delightful, well stocked and comfortable. The air conditioning units in the bedrooms are a huge advantage in the summer months. However, both driveway entrances/exits to the villa are unpaved, steep, and dangerously located at blind intersections on the main and very busy road to Cortona. We did feel like we were taking a serious risk everytime we had to drive in or out of the villa, and we are experienced drivers in Italy. It is also unrealistic to expect to walk anywhere from the villa, except perhaps on the main road a short distance to a bus stop. There is also a significant difference between the two bedrooms -- one clearly a master bedroom, with ample closets, dressers, side-tables, etc and a master bathroom next to it. The other is clearly a second bedroom with two twin beds, a small closet but no dresser or other storage. The second full bathroom is located downstairs and again, has no storage cabinets, counter space. For two couples sharing the villa the inequities of the space might be problematic. For a family with children (who are old enough to safely navigate a steep open stairway to the second floor), its probably a great set-up.
