Description
"La Chiesetta" is an old country church dating back to 1300, recently transformed into a unique and charming holiday home with a decidedly mystical atmosphere.
Situated at the foot of the green hill of Cortona, the property enjoys magnificent views over the wide valley towards the nearby Lake Trasimeno and the conical tops of the mountains Amiata and Cetona, further south bordering Umbria and Lazio.
The house is surrounded by a large, furnished garden shaded by mature trees and extending over a small vineyard and a sunflower field belonging to the property and also enjoyable by guests.
The freeform private swimming pool (12x6 m, depth 0,80 to 1,20 m and open May - September) is located in the area between the small vineyard and the owners house. The pool may be occasionally shared by the owners with the utmost discretion that distinguishes them.
Inside, the accommodation features beautiful wooden trusses and some small windows typical of ancient country churches, creating an extraordinary atmosphere of serenity that together with the simplicity and yet comfort of the furnishings make you feel right at home or rather on vacation!
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMMODATION: 150 m2 / Sleeps 5
Ground floor: large living room with open fireplace, dining room, fully equipped kitchen with dining table, 1 bathroom with shower; the staircase to the first floor.
First floor: 1 double bedroom, 1 twin bedroom, 1 small single bedroom, 1 bathroom with shower.

Beautiful house with cordial landlord couple
Despite its compact exterior, the former church offers a surprising amount of space. The living area and bedrooms are lovingly decorated and the beds are comfortable. The large kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking and there is even a covered outdoor kitchen with barbecue and pizza oven. Several seating areas around the house invite you to spend the whole day here. The pool is a bit away from the house, but there is also plenty of lounging and seating furniture to relax after a swim
Paolo and his wife Carla are great hosts! Friendly, always available and helpful - we have never experienced such a warm welcome as in this holiday home and we have already booked many accommodations! Located at the foot of the beautiful town of Cortona, it is also not far from shops, culture (highly recommended the town museum!) and restaurants. Many tourist destinations are within easy reach and the week at the little church was far too short!
Carla and Paolo, it was lovely staying with you and if we travel to Tuscany again, we will definitely book with you again! Thank you!

We felt very comfortable and can highly recommend the church of Cortona.
