Beautiful private villa for 16 people with private pool, WIFI, TV and pets allowed
Borgo Antico is a beautiful farmhouse on the high hills that separate the green Valdichiana from the Tiber Valley, located on the border between Tuscany and Umbria. It is the ideal place for those who want to spend a relaxing holiday, in close contact with nature and far from the noise and bustle of the cities. Moreover, thanks to its position, 600 m above sea level and the large stone walls, the house, even on the hottest summer days, guarantees a cool and comfortable temperature inside, especially on the ground floor. The Etruscan town of Cortona in Tuscany and the village of Trestina in Umbria are both about 18 km away, while restaurants and small shops for basic necessities can be reached within 5 or 10 km. You can spend your holiday days bathing in the swimming pool (size 6 x 12 m - depth 1.20-2.40 m, completely fenced in - open from 01st May to 30th September), playing table tennis and enjoying tasty lunches and dinners in the cool gazebo furnished with tables and chairs next to the barbecue and wood-burning oven. Even the youngest children will have fun on the swing and slide. Pets are welcome (extra charge could be required). The house is well furnished with Tuscan style furniture. Possibility to taste and buy excellent extra virgin olive oil and other typical products. Since the house is located in a quite secluded position and in order not to miss a single minute of your holiday, for the day of arrival it is possible to request a shopping service with home delivery (to be agreed before arrival).

Excellent villa where the pictures do not do justice for the environment and view. Everything has been kept in prime condition and suits perfectly a getaway and disconnect from stress.

Really beautiful location with the pool overseeing the mountains. Very nice and helpful host Stefano. The house is really well equiped and has all you need. The only thing to bear in mind is very remote location from shops, restaurants etc. It is about 40 minutes away from Cortona through rural roads. But in exchange you get to spend great vacation in quiet surroundings.

Tre giorni da sogno!!! Il posto è molto isolato, ma questo lo rende ancora più speciale. La piscina, il barbecue, il forno a legna, la casa con tutti i confort ed una vista mozzafiato sulle colline umbre. Spero di riuscire a tornare. I padroni di casa sono super disponibili.

Siamo appena tornati da una splendida vacanza a Borgo Antico. Un posto spettacolare immerso nel verde. Il casolare è super rifornito, non manca niente. Stefano, il proprietario, è sempre disponibile e gentile. La piscina è ideale per rinfrescarsi. Una vacanza da rifare. Grazie Stefano

Abbiamo soggiornato a Borgo Antico per Pasqua in 16 persone.
La location, un po' complicata da trovare ma immersa nel meglio che questo territorio offre, è esattamente come descritta: una vecchia casa colonica ristrutturata con maestria e capace di rendere comodo il soggiorno ad un gruppo numeroso con diversi bambini piccoli al seguito. L'area non è enorme ma con ogni confort, una vista bellissima e garantisce la tranquillità di non avere NESSUNO intorno. I gestori sono stati sempre molto disponibili, discreti e puntuali facendoci sentire benvenuti (e la crostata bigusto di benvenuto ha fatto nettamente la sua parte in questo).
Se cercate un posto rilassante per tante persone avete trovato quello che fa per voi.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We stayed in Borgo Antico for Easter with 16 people.
The location, a little complicated to find but immersed in the best that this area offers, is exactly as described: an old farmhouse restored with skill and able to make the stay comfortable for a large group with several small children in tow. The area is not huge but offers every comfort, a beautiful view and guarantees the tranquility of having NO one around. The managers have always been very helpful, discreet and punctual making us feel welcome (and the welcome bigusto cake has clearly done its part in this).
If you are looking for a relaxing place for many people, this is it.

Das Haus ist liebevoll restauriert und verfügt über alles, was einen erholsamen Urlaub ermöglicht. Die Zimmer sind zum Teil sehr großzügig und die Bäder sehr gepflegt. Die Außenanlagen sind sehr großzügig und der Ausblick sensationell - Sonnenuntergänge können in vollen Zügen genossen werden.
Die Lage ist sehr abgeschieden und ideal für alle Ruhrsuchenden, die das Haus genießen möchten. Insgesamt ist das Objekt sehr, sehr empfehlenswert.

Review for stay from 25 July 2015 to 08 August 2015
Het is een heel fijn huis geschikt voor 14 personen. Alleen de keuken daar valt niet te werken of te koken voor een groot groep mensen zoals wij hadden. De afwasmachine was stuk toen wij aankwamen en toen gerepareerd en nog steeds kapot en niet meer vervangen. Dat was een slechte zaak.
[Reactie: De eigenaar informeert dat de afwasmachine nu goed funcioneert.]
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] It's a very nice house suitable for 14 people. Only in the kitchen it's difficult to work or to cook for a large group of people as we had. The dishwasher was broken when we arrived and then repaired and still broken and not replaced. That was a bad thing.
[Counter Comment: The owner informs that the dishwasher is working now.]
