Typically Tuscan property with a lovely garden and pool. Hosts made us feel welcome.

Molino di Bordone is simply magnificent. We. along with two other couples, stayed in Stalla Rustica (3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms) for a week in mid-May 2018. We could not have dreamed of a more wonderful experience. Caroline Nobile and her husband, along with son Antonio and chef Simona, provided a most generous, supportive, and delicious stay. All of them went out of their way to be helpful, including providing help with train reservations, Mass times at "Le Celle" (a monastery founded by St. Francis just outside of Cortona), and immediately addressing any concerns. Simona prepared two absolutely delicious meals for us, including salad with fresh ingedients from their garden, which we shared in the family area. The setting is gorgeous, access to main sights is easy (10 minutes to Cortona, an hour or so to Montepulciano, Montalcino, Florence, Assisi, and Orvieto), all the essentials (groceries, etc.) are nearby. The accommodations are great, and are quiet and peaceful. All of us are experienced travelers, so we have encountered many different types of accommodations. All of us are in agreement that, if anything, the descriptions provided online actually understate how terrific Molino really is. And, for an extra attraction, even though the villa is officially in Tuscany, you can, in fact, see Umbria from the property. An additional bonus is that the family operates a tour company, so can provide wine tasting and other excellent excursions. If you are seeking the ultimate experience in Tuscany/Umbria, look no further and book Molino di Bordone as quickly as your fingers will allow.

Friendly owners, great property and facilities, wonderful location...idea for families and couples alike. The hosts pizza evening (cooked in 400+ year old oven) was a real highlight. Local towns such as Catona, Siena and Lake Tresimino are a delight and all within driving distance. We'll definitely be back...

To provide context this was our first visit to Italy and we stayed at HomeAway properties in Rome, Amalfi and here near Cortona. Our family loved this property the most!!! Antonio was super helpful getting us settled and answering questions. The villa is as pretty as the picture and the surrounding countryside is simply stunning! We stayed for 4 days visiting Assisi, the town of Cortona and taking road trips through the beautiful countryside. Antonios recommendations for pretty side roads were spot on and were better than the guidebooks. To top off the trip Antonio took my husband and son to a nearby golf course. They had a blast! My 23 year old son had a road bike delivered and enjoyed biking up and down the hills around Cortona. We stayed in the Stalla Rustica unit. I spent every morning and evening just taking peaceful walks around the villa. We bought food at the Simply market in the nearby small town of Pergo but ate dinner most nights in one of the wonderful Cortona restaurants. The shower had great pressure and tons of hot water. This was not the case in our other locations. I wish we could have come a little later to enjoy their pool and to see more of their amazing gardens in bloom. But as Antonio says, Arrivederci, which means "see you again"!
