Holiday home with private pool

‘There is our charming casetta,’ says my new friend Cristina as we walk towards her cottage . The little holiday home with private pool is the dependence of Cristina’s villa. Cristina has a big ranch which ensures total privacy for the guests of Casetta Cristina. The private garden and the private swimming pool are at the full disposal of the guests during the stay, explains Cristina. Cristina loves to give advice and tips about the surroundings. Nice, the idea that there is always someone around to turn to. The holiday home is located just a few kilometres from the old city centre of Cortona. Amazing, as we are surrounded by the green hills of the Valdichiana valley and the Lake of Trasimeno!

The sun is shining on the cypresses and olive trees in the garden. The panorama is most stunning by the pool with sun terrace with loungers, parasols and an outdoor shower. Cristina comes out with a homemade apricot pie while her husband is arriving with coffee. We take a seat and enjoy the treat. The Tuscan hospitality keeps amazing us every time. On the other side of the terrace we see a barbecue with a wood-oven. A day dream of summer nights with a good glass of Cortona DOC wine and Tuscan steak on the barbecue is starting to play in our heads.

Once inside we see how the sunlight creates a lovely atmosphere as it shines through the open shutters. Particularly clever how the authentic Tuscan style has been brought in perfect harmony with modern comfort. The house is cosy and at the same time comforted with dishwasher, oven, washing machine and Wi-Fi. In Casetta Cristina we have found all ingredients for a romantic getaway or Tuscany family holiday.
