Zeffiro

Maison super sympa pour un groupe ou une famille! Piscine très grande et court de tennis pour amateurs. Région superbe, près de Montepulciano et de Florence, Sienne, Pérouse…

Host molto cordiale e disponibile. La villa è stupenda e la zona è fantastica.

Loads of positives about this property - not least the super-friendly and helpful host, Angela and the location a short drive from Cortona. The pool is also a good size with a large shallow (c.3ft) end - it isn’t heated though so something to consider - we found it right on the edge of refreshing and off putting in c.27 degrees temperatures.
The property itself has many nice features that you’ll see on the summary. It definitely has a very “lived in” feel which was fine for us but mightn’t be for anyone looking for super-modern/luxury accommodation.
Earplugs recommended for light sleepers - the neighbouring dogs don’t come with a mute button!
Some of the beds could do with upgrading too - not the comfiest nights sleep ever and coupled with no a/c in the two downstairs bedrooms (again in 27 degree heat this was just on the edge of being a bit uncomfortable even with the provided fan) then very particular sleepers may struggle a bit, but we generally coped ok - a really comfortable bed in each room though would probably make a real difference.
We were unlucky in that the local pizzeria which is literally 100m walk and looked good was shut fir the week we visited. There is a cafe/bar next door that does breakfast food/baguettes and who were super friendly also. Otherwise the immediate surroundings are residential with the local shop seemingly shut permanently. A small grocer is about 3 minutes by car but probably not comfortably walkable with groceries. Supermarkets are otherwise easily within 5-10 minutes by car. You’d definitely need a car though as we were told arranging grocery deliveries was not possible.
Angela lives right next door and the property is overlooked by a couple of other neighbours - again not an issue for us - the main pool outdoor area feels quite private - but if you’re looking for complete privacy or isolation it may not be for you.
Also worth noting that the upstairs apartment (3 bedrooms and kitchen/living area) is linked indoors to downstairs by a quite steep spiral staircase. There are also outdoor stairs but that involves going out the front and round the side for access. We mainly used the latter and it was no problem for us but may be worth considering for anyone with mobility issues or small kids where the spiral stairs could be a slight hazard.
The kitchen is also quite small and with limited plug sockets so we had a bit of a queue at breakfast to use the plug for kettle, coffee machine, toaster ???? Again, not a problem for us but might not be welcomed by some guests particularly if larger in number and planning a lot of use of the kitchen.
For English-speakers, worth noting that the hosts speak only a little English but Google translate and WhatsApp were more than sufficient to get by with only a very limited Italian.

Overall a lovely stay and thanks to Angela for her help and friendliness that made us feel very welcome. We’d gladly return.

Very well located house in Tuscany. Everything is clean and user friendly. Pool is big enough + nice to have tennis court next to the house. The view on the hill is very charming

Siamo stati in questa magnifica villa per festeggiare l addio al celibato di un mio carissimo amico, devo dire che siamo stati nel paradiso terrestre la consiglio vivamente a tutti

Very pleasant area with quite a bit to do within an hour. Host was very nice and accommodating.
It is an older building but has everything needed for a nice stay. The beds and pillows were quite uncomfortable, honestly. That would be our biggest issue. I’d highly highly recommend getting lunch or dinner at La Cortei dei Papi. One of the best meals we’ve ever had.

Host was lovely. I will come back if when i can, very central was travelling almost everyday but we enjoyed all the amenities that the place has to offer

We had a very pleasant stay at the Zeffiro house. The house is very comlete with tenniscourt, snookertable a.s.o. All items were in very good state . The only critical point we had was the number of the house. The voucher stated 54 but we have only seen number 48.

Wir waren gemeinsam mit Freunde da und haben verschiedene Ausflüge nach Arezzo, Perugia, montepulciano & montalcino unternommen. Cortona selbst auch fantastisch. Super Ausgangslage

Very nice clean and spacious house. The pool was fantastic and also the tennis court.
Grocery store just 5 min walking distance was a big plus. We only missed air con in the bedrooms downstairs (the weather was extremely hot).

Casa spaziosa, arredi spartani spazio esterno molto vivibile. Proprietari estremamente disponibili.
