Casa Vinalia: Etruscan paradise

Cortona, where life is made. Piazzas, wine, food and good times, great times. We came for a couple of years and stayed for 11. We built this place for us, for our family, for our friends and for you. We want to share Cortona as much as we want to keep it for ourselves. A cosy home, a place to share meals outdoors, a beautiful view to wake up to everyday, the ever changing valley allows you to stare and wonder for hours. We hope you feel as welcome in our place as we have been made to feel. The space My husband and I moved to Italy for a couple of years in 2011 after I came for a four month winemaking internship which turned into a fulltime job. It has always been our dream to own a piece of Cortona where we were married and in 2016 we managed to realise that dream and make it through the crazy job of renovating in a foreign country. We have since decided to move back to Australia to pursue further career dreams but we are holding on to our little piece of paradise so we can visit often and continue to share it with you. We have always appreciated a house that feels a little like home when we travel with a little more than just the basic essentials in the kitchen, we hope that you do too. Our home is in a shared building with one other family although it has a private entrance and a large private courtyard for outdoor dining. In the small outbuilding you will find a laundry and a fireplace to do some barbeque cooking. Inside we have created an open-plan living and kitchen area for a relaxing holiday feel which opens out to the outdoor area. The kitchen has a large stand-alone Delonghi oven with 5 burner stove, dishwasher, big fridge and microwave/grill. The two large bedrooms have incredible views over the Chiana Valley, the master bedroom with its own private bathroom with a toilet and shower (also with a view from the shower!) and the second bedroom has a smaller bathroom in the hall with toilet and shower.
