Vacation Rental Description
La Mucchia - Casa Vacanza & Art Gallery is located in the region of Tuscany, an area of great historical and artistic interest. The vacation house is situated at the foot of Cortona, an ancient Etruscan town, founded by the residence of Umbria about 3,000 years ago, even before Rome was established.  
The house is currently divided into eight suites. It is surrounded by 7,000 sq. meters (roughly two acres) of land used for lawn, garden and other various services. Some of these services include parking, a play area, swimming pool and tennis court. The building covers an area of 1,000 sq. meters (10,764 sq. ft) it is located at the foot of the beautiful town of Cortona. It was built in 1760 by a noble family called Fabbri. In 2005, the present owners obtained the house in a state of ruins.  
The renovation lasted three years and has followed the instructions of the superintendent for Cultural Heritage. According to the old-world design provided by the town of Cortona, all original materials were recovered and used to rebuild the estate. The ultimate goal was to maintain the appearance of its age; at the same time equip it with modern comforts.  
That is why every apartment is outfitted with internet, a satellite TV multilingual set, A/C, and heating; also each bedroom has its own private bathroom. Particular care was taken to furnish the house in the classic Tuscan style “arte povera”, as well as the old-world style kitchen decorated with hand-painted ceramic tiles. The house is currently divided into eight apartments. It is surrounded by 7,000 sq. meters of land used for lawn, garden and other various services. Some of these services include parking, a play area, swimming pool and tennis court.  
 
The town of Cortona is one of the prime tourist locations in Tuscany. It has abundant and various events and opportunities for tourists. Cortona has plenty of top quality restaurants and trattorias, concerts in Teatro Signorelli, important churches such as the Basilica of Saint Marguerite, charming shops, antique markets, and breathtaking views from the Piazza Garibaldi panoramic terrace. Each year in August, Cortona hosts the famous Tuscan sun festival. Although it is hard to describe the richness of the Cortona experience in a few words, you can imagine walking the narrow Tuscan streets and climbing its beautiful stone stairs, sneaking a look into retreat churches and hidden backyard gardens, and taking a relaxed espresso in a friendly spot. Cortona remembered will be as a lovely dream that remains vivid in your mind for countless years. If you wish, there are plenty of opportunities to spoil yourself in a bit of luxury in Cortona as well. There are many quality hotels and vacation houses in and around Cortona that will provide for a wide range of luxury, service, privacy, simplicity, and convenience needs. Travellers who stay at La Mucchia Casa Vacanze in the Cortona countryside will enjoy Tuscan ambience and relaxed comfort in a large, 18th century stone farmhouse that has been artfully restored and divided into several private, self-contained, and beautifully decorated apartments. Each retains unique rustic charm, yet provides modern conveniences, privacy, spaciousness, light, and comfort. 
 
The most popular locations among the tourists are Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Montalcino, San Gimignano and Cortona (“Under the Tuscan Sun”) all of whom are cities along the Chianti and Valdichiana valleys. A particularly attractive possibility of stay for the holidays is in vacation houses or to rent a farmhouse, which allow you to feel the atmosphere of living in an authentic Tuscan farmhouse, with all modern comforts.

The Tuscan Sun Festival is an annual music and lifestyle festival that takes place in the small Tuscan hilltop town of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo. The Independent newspaper in the U.K. called the festival “One of the Ten Best Summer Arts Festivals in Europe”. Described by the International Herald-Tribune as “a blend of Mozart and massages, Debussy and Dante, Tchaikovsky and cuisine”, the evening musical programme is balanced with daytime events including art exhibitions and workshops with visual artists, discussions with literary figures, wellness sessions like tai-chi and culinary sessions with some of Tuscany’s chefs and winemakers. The international soloists, conductors and chamber orchestras perform in not only the intimate setting of the town’s 400-seat theatre, Teatro Signorelli, but also within town squares like Piazza Signorelli.

neverenou... Los Angeles, California

I found this lovely place through Trip Advisor but was still skeptical because it was SOOO reasonable! Our suite was exactly like the picture on their website! The owners were helpful & friendly & very hardworking! The sunflowers were blooming all around the property, the pool was clean, the air conditioning worked well, the art on the walls was beautiful... I could go on & on!
All 4 of us would reccomend this property without reservation!

Stayed June 2011, traveled with friends

Excellent renovated villa, with helpful owners.
Commento pos.: Villa was clean, well done up with good comunications,wi fi and and TV
Commento neg.: You need to go through a small industrial area to get to the villa which isa slight turnoff
Suggerimento: Try not to do to much each day and have time to enjoy the villa and the pool.

Last August I had the pleasure of staying at La Mucchia vacation farmhouse. Reading some reviews on Tripadvisor, I knew of the hotel’s great reputation and took this opportunity for my first stay. Having driven 3 hours from Rome to reach Cortona, upon arriving at your hotel I was warmly welcomed by the owner, who quickly put me at ease. He gave me a wonderful suite for me and my wife and also provided a fantastic seafood restaurant recommendation as well as helpful information about other cities to visit for the next morning. Staying at La Mucchia quickly became the highlight of my Tuscan vacation! Thank you!

La Mucchia is well located, offers professional yet friendly management, clean and lovely apartments that are equipped with everything one could possibly need for their holidays. Restaurants are just minutes away, should you decide not to cook within the apartment. The pool is a relaxing haven that overlooks the hillside of Cortona. Each apartment features an outdoor seating area with table for those who choose to eat their meals al fresco. La Mucchia is absolute perfection....

Great place to stay and the Brothers are very helpful with day trip information if you require it. They even made several phone calls for us to set up reservations. I remember asking about a town just in casual conversation and then Uri showed a few minutes later with details on the site and how to get there just in case we decided to go.

You easily make several day trips to other towns besides Cortona. I recommend calling Giovanni Adrianni for him to guide you around Cortona as you will learn there is much more history here which far outweighs the fascination Cortona has developed due to the movie. We could have spent another week just getting to know Cortona better.

Great place to stay and we would go back there today.

We enjoyed our stay so very much! The hospitality of the owners was a perfect mix of helpfulness and privacy. The pool had wonderful with a view of Cortona. We traveled with another couple and suite #6 was a nice sized 2 bedroom 2 bath with kitchen area, dining table and living room. All the guests staying in other suites all seemed to be enjoying their stay as much as we did!
Although you'll need a car to get to the villa and around Tuscany to Cortona, Siena, Montepuliciano, Assisi and other great locations, the drives are easy. You can take a train easily to Florence or Rome from this location.
The price was very reasonable for the amenities and location.
I wouldn't have changed a thing!
I ♥ Lamucchia Casa!
