Villa Cuiano - Six Splendid holidays flat close to Cortona


Europe/Italy/Cortona Vacation Rental


12 bedroom, 8 bath vacation home sleeps 24 (7 King and 10 Twins)


Cuiano is a recently refurbished former colonial-style house set on the hill of Castello di Perle. The house has maintained its original Tuscan style with exposed beams and architraves in chestnut wood and stone fireplaces from the 18th century.

There are 5 apartments: La Loggia, La Stalletta, La Stalla, La Loggetta, La Cantina and the Casa Luca house. All the units are independent, have their own heating system and four of them have a fireplace. You?ll find satellite TV, a stereo system, CD player and fully equipped kitchen in all our apartments.

From the private garden behind the villa there is a spectacular view on the Valle del Niccone and the mountains of Umbria. In the centre of the garden there is the swimming pool for guest use only (12x6 metres), as well as plenty of garden furniture (sun-beds, tables, chairs, sun-umbrellas). In addition, in the illuminated part of the garden there is a barbecue, wood-burning oven and tables where you can enjoy a barbecue, pizza or drinks outdoors.

All around Cuiano you can find beautiful paths for pleasant walks or a ride on horseback. The paths can take you to crystal-clear streams, olive groves, chestnut and oak woods, ancient ruined castles, 12th-century churches, view points toward hidden valleys and Trasimeno lake. The path that leads to Trasimeno lake finishes at Gosparini from where there is a fantastic view of the lake and where you can enjoy refreshment at ?Lo Scoiattolo?.

The Cuiano agritourist farm is an excellent starting point for visits to Umbria and Tuscany: in one hour by car you can reach beautiful towns that will satisfy your spirit with art and religion as well as your body with a wide selection of eno-gastronomic products, not to mention the unequalled landscapes you?ll see.
For example in Umbria there is Assisi, Perugia, Spello, Foligno, Gubbio, Cittࠤi Castello and Trasimeno lake; in Tuscany you can visit Cortona, Arezzo, Siena, Pienza, Montepulciano.

Other interesting towns that are a little farther are Spoleto, San Giminiano and Montalcino.

Upon request, we can arrange for a guide to help you fully appreciate the beauty of these special places.

Obviously, for our guests who prefer total relaxation, our agritourist farm offers peace and quiet and is an ideal spot for enjoying a book in tranquillity, sunbathing by the pool, taking a relaxing ride on horseback, or taking a walk to the stream or in the shade of olive trees.

Guest Comment
"Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Cuiano. We were in La Stalla apt. for the week of May 28-June 2,2001. The rooms are spacious,with a large bathroom,and very clean. The kitchen is well-equipped and efficient,(with a BIG refrigerator!) The view from the swimming pool is spectacular across the val di pierle below. Franco works very hard on landscaping, resulting in a charming garden around the villa. He was more than helpful with directions to medieval villages and suggested tours into the beautiful Tuscan countryside. A delightful surprise was when Franco took us on a tour of the ruins of Castello Pierle which has been in his family for about 100 years. The people in the village of Mercatale could not be more friendly. We won't ever forget the grocer at the market who told us,as we were trying to scrape together enough cash for our Sat. night groceries, "Oh, you can pay me Monday--you'll need the money for a restaurant tonight." This type of hospitality was apparent everywhere we went during our stay at Cuiano. Don't miss dinner at Mimmi's for a terrific meal, plus the best terramisu we have ever tasted!! The weather co-operated for the entire week--Daytime temperatures averaged 70-75F up in these cool hills, and a light blanket was welcome at night. Just writing makes me homesick to return,which we certainly will do; perhaps next time with several friends. Franco showed us some of the other apts, which can be connected ,and would be great for 6- 10 people. It would be so much fun showing them what we have discovered,including the hair-raising drive up to the villa!! Franco and Fausto are to be commended on their communication skills both in person, and on the internet. We highly recommend this villa. Franco and Fausto are to be commended on their communication skills both in person and in emails. "
