3 Month Availability Snapshot for this Vacation Rental
"We and some friends stayed at Casa Sarteano in June, 2008 for a week. It was a wonderful place from which we went exploring everyday. The town is quaint and charming, but has everything you need, including outstanding restaurants. The apartment was lovely, comfortable, and very clean. Perfect for 4 adults! We really enjoyed our stay there and would love to go back some time. We would highly recommend this property to anyone."
