The grounds are beautiful, and the pool was the highlight, especially since being out in the countryside can feel a bit isolating. We got a warm welcome, the homemade pizza was good, and the cooking class was great. Getting around was a real problem. We were told the family could drive us when needed, but they weren’t very available. If that hadn’t been mentioned, or if we’d been told in advance that we needed to book a rental car or private taxi months ahead, I wouldn’t have expected a ride. Once there, though, there seemed to be no way to find a taxi or rental car. We felt stranded. Downtown is a two-hour walk, which wasn’t realistic or worthwhile with our older guests. E-bikes were supposed to be provided to make travel easier, but they never arrived. Maybe we could have used those to reach town. There were a few other things that fell short. The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms, so we went to bed early instead of hanging out with our group in the hot living room. With so many mosquitoes and flies and no screens, opening doors or windows wasn’t an option. Once dusk came, we had to leave the pool to avoid bites. The well water in the sink and shower smelled like rotten eggs. I worried it might be bacteria, though I don’t know, and gagged while washing my face each day. We were also missing trash bags and an iron that we’d been told would be brought. The upstairs sitting area had a strong smell. The day before checkout, we were told the water and electricity would be shut off at 8 a.m., so we wouldn’t be able to shower, brush our teeth, make breakfast, or use the AC while getting ready. Maybe that’s an Italian law, but no apology or other arrangement was offered. The family had also promised us a ride to the train and then couldn’t provide it. Still, it really is a beautiful property.

We spent a week here in early July 2024, our family of seven, and it’s hard to put into words how lovely the place is. The villa and pool are stunning, and the surrounding countryside is beautiful too. The owners were so kind and helpful, and their homemade pizzas were incredible. We’d gladly recommend it to anyone visiting the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside, and hope to return soon.

Borgo Valecchie made a wonderful base for exploring Tuscany. It’s about a 15-minute drive from Cortona, and we also visited Montepulciano, Sienna, and other towns within a few minutes to about an hour away. The countryside drives were breathtaking. Rome is a few hours by car. Our group of four adults and a young toddler stayed five nights in October 2016. The host family greeted us warmly, and the historic villa felt private, spacious, and immaculate. There was plenty of room and enough sleeping arrangements for 8-10 adults. Outside, we had a large pool, a covered dining area, a hammock, and olive trees. A small garden right by the front door gave us fresh vegetables and herbs for a meal we cooked, including buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes from the garden. One evening, the family invited us to their home on the property for homemade pizza and wine. That was a real highlight. If you want to stay in Tuscany away from crowds and be surrounded by the countryside and its culture, this is the place.

A quiet little slice of paradise just outside downtown Cortona. Borgo Valecchie is gorgeous, and my wife and I felt very well looked after. Davide, the owner, made sure we had everything we needed. He’s a professional Sommelier, and the wine experience he gave us was the best money can buy. I’d highly recommend staying here. I’ll be back with my whole family.

Such a great stay at Borgo Valecchie. The Baldoni family are the best. Thanks so much to Lorenzo, David, Chiara and la mama for making us feel so welcome and for the perfect pizzas. We’ll come back!
