Agriturismo Il Gelso

Great place in the countryside, a few minutes from the well-known Tuscan cities (such as Cortona, Perugia, Arezzo, Siena etc...) Despite being close to the main road, the silence is master of a beautiful farmhouse restitu.All'interno is tastefully furnished and equipped with all comfort.C'è a large kitchen, suitable simultaneously to accommodate all guests, however, each apartment has its own. The owners are friendly, hospitable and helpful; they know how to give great advice on tourist places to visit, the best restaurants where to eat, the most beautiful excursions to fare.Chiedete to them if you want any advice.The reception is great, both from the owner, both from the surprise that you will find on the table of the apartment: a delicious apricot jam tart, made by the now expert hands of the owner.The outdoor space is well cared for, with colorful flowers and all different; the garden is fenced, suitable for the games of più piccoli.E 'present a large pool, not too high, also fenced. There is a gazebo and various outdoor tables, I still recommend adding others, maybe under the trees. I recommend it as a summer home!!

I have never been more disturbed by a place than I was by this. Firstly, we went through an agency who misrepresented the house as being "Casale Cortona" (evidently to avoid showing all the crappy reviews for this so-called agriturismo. The owner had no interest in assisting our group, who requested extra pillows and blankets. It was freezing and damp, and the owner refused to turn on the heat (though we asked repeatedly). Some bathrooms smelled like sewage, the shower heads were crusted over with limescale and literally impossible to use, hot water was missing, there were scorpions, spiders, and other large roach-like insects all around the premises, and to top it off (the icing on the cake) the owner held our groups passports hostage for 24 hours, effectively keeping us unable to leave the premises, all while claiming that we hadn't paid, when we had already made a bank transfer through the app Wise that was (unbeknownst to us) paused. The owner then pushed my friend up against a wall when she held her ground about receiving the group's passports back before completing the payment. We ended up having to call the police. This is truly a nightmare villa, and I wouldn't even recommend it to my worst enemies.

Paradise in the middle of no where, faraway from busy life and stress.You will find smiling people to welcome you, with good local knowledge from history to cuisine they were very helpful when planning any excursions . It is in the countryside but just4 km to Cortona 1h to Florence 2h to Rome. Really nice and clean with good facilities and a lovely swimming pool. Rooms are well presented and practical, the area is real stunning and this was the perfect way to really make the most from our holiday. We will be going back!!!! It's definitely worth it.
