Sun-Soaked Private View Terrace in the Historical Centre of Cortona.

Of Excellence Winner and 9.8!!!

A Super Panoramic View Terrace is waiting for you!
There are only a handful of apartments in Cortona that have a view as spectacular as La Terrazza di Cortona.. 

Imagine waking up to the romantic sound of church bells and the sweet smell of Tuscan flowers just outside your door.

Overlooking the entire valley below, you can see from Lake Trasimeno, across to Mt Amiata, further to Montepulciano and beyond.

Relax on your private 3 x 6 meter ( 6 x 12 foot approx) terrace and dream of life in Italy. Sip your favorite wine and watch the sunset over the hills. Our new 2 bedroom/1 bathroom private apartment is a rare gem that sits quietly within the walls of the Historical Centre of Cortona.

Within just a few minutes, you are in walking distance to everything.

Cortona is a beautiful town, made famous by the book/movie Under the Tuscan Sun and it is everything you dreamed of and more. Spend your days wandering the ancient streets, eating delicious homemade pasta in one of the many restaurants and sipping Aperol Spritz while people watching in Piazza Signorelli.

Cortona is PURE MAGIC, and returning home to La Terrazza di Cortona to watch the sunset is what memories are made of.

This is a wonderful property in a quiet area, but only a short walk to the piazza and restaurants. The only improvement I would recommend is the shower caddy; all of my travel sized items kept falling out of it.

Cortona Getaway
Quaint, comfortable apartment with spectacular views from patio. Easy walking distance to main square. Alen, the property manager who checked us in was great; a Cortona resident who provided lots of suggestions. Samantha, the owner was also easy to work with and stayed in communication from booking to departure. Highly recommend property and host. For those arriving by train, I would suggest booking a taxi well in advance as they are difficult to arrange. We booked Saban Salijevic who was great! He also does tours. His contact info is +393382877210 and taxisalijevic@gmail.com

View and location could not be better.
The biggest problem is that we only stayed two nights. Although Cortona may be off the normal travel route, it has been our favorite town to visit. It is quaint, clean and very welcoming. Alen, who checked us in, was great as he gave perfect recommendations and was available via Whatsapp if we needed anything. If you rent a car, there is parking very, very close by. We did cooking classes at Fattoria Bistecca, which was highlight of trip. 7 km drive.

Best view in Cortona
Our panoramic view from the huge terrace says it all. The valley lights at night were magical. We stayed for a month and caught three different SpaceX satellite launches one week. The basics are there, too. Super comfortable beds and linens, great wifi, clothes washer. The location is perfect, a 5 minute walk to the central piazza. I can't imagine any other property coming close to this.

Beautiful Cortona
The main attraction of this apartment is the terrace it is amazing with fantastic views! The rest of the apartment is spacious and comfortable could maybe do with a few more kitchen items a jug for milk and large glass for beer but apart from that it was great. Fabulous location and great restaurants nearby. Cortona is the best place we visited during our week long stay in Tuscany. Highly recommended

Bellissimo!!!!!
We planned this trip for over a year. Anticipation is part of the journey and our anticipation for Casa di Amici was immense. We knew it would be wonderful, but never expected just how wonderful it would be. We expected a great terrace, but had no idea how amazing it would be. We had a 180 degree view of Tuscany to the west of Cortona. Our sunsets were amazing! We watched a rain cloud come in with the sunset behind it and dissipate into an inkblot—with no rain. We saw the moon shine bright at night and the twinkle of the lights of Montepulciano and the other towns and hill towns in the distance. In the morning, the beautiful green of the valley below was magical. This terrace alone is worth the fair price of this apartment. As well, the amenities are wonderful with comfortable beds! The queen is larger than an American queen. There are expensive bed linens that are soft, with a high thread count. Drawers and hanging space for clothes is immense, and the décor is lovely—including the crystal chandelier in the twin room with the sofa and TV. There are screens on the windows—so uncommon in Europe. The huge towels are plentiful, soft and fluffy, and unlike most vacation rentals. Samantha has paper towels, an American coffee pot (wow!), filters, two soap pods for your laundry in the amazing washing machine, dish soap, toilet paper, coffee to get you started, tea, wine glasses, plenty of dishes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper (one of our rentals did not provide it), fantastic terrace furniture with a table and 4 chairs as well as a comfortable chat set with cushions. She has a TV—we never turned it on. Her refrigerator is of a large size for Europe. It has an ice cube tray—but if you need another, bring your own. Casa d’Amici is so close to the via Roma gate and free parking that it is perfect for the big hills of Cortona. A short walk up via Roma, and you are to the heart of Cortona--the Piazza della Repubblica. It is a wonderful place to be, morning, noon or night. Families, shopkeepers, and of course, tourists are there. It is not crowded like Firenze---just vibrant, fun and alive. The prices for the restaurants are less expensive than in Oregon, and shops in the square charge fair and somewhat inexpensive prices. We noted that Enoteca Molesini, in the square, offered extremely fair prices for wine as did at least one of the little everyday markets in town. Don't hesitate to rent this lovely villa.

couldn’t think of a better place to stay. It was in a beautiful location, the terrace was a delight especially in the eve’s sitting out having a drink or two. I had hired a car and parking was so easy and close. Def would rent again. The apt itself was beautifully clean bright and spacious.

Met Every Expectation!
Sam and Terry’s comfortable apartment is exactly what I wanted it to be. They were incredibly helpful prior to my arrival, and during my stay. The apartment itself is perfectly set up. The terrace is fantastic and a place of great joy in the morning and in the evening. Cortona itself is a charming medieval town. It’s exactly what you would expect from all that you read and see about it. The apartment was set up with all of the necessary amenities. It’s a two-minute walk into town for all of the things one requires during holiday. I enjoyed my stay there more than Florence!

True gem in Cortona!
We absolutely loved our stay. The apartment was immaculate and beautifully furnished. The location was excellent - just a few minutes walk up to the main square, yet we felt like locals since we were living amongst them. Every night on the way home from dinner we were sweetly greeted by the neighbor’s cat, “Piccolo.” The views of the Tuscan landscape from the patio were breathtaking, and I should add that the beds were SO comfortable we were really able to catch up on our sleep. Should we return, which we hope to do, we would absolutely not hesitate to stay here again and in fact, wouldn’t even look at any other places! We also took the pasta class offered by Samantha (the chef we had teaches at a nearby culinary school!) and it was one of the highlights of our trip. :-)
